Learn More About Kae

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to experience the unique personalities of each cat. My day to day work is never the same because I get the chance to work with so many awesome pets.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

We have a cat named Liza who is a very sweet black cat. She enjoys having her belly rubbed and will flop over like a dog to request rubs.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I always make sure to get to know the basic routines of each cat, their personalities, and the specifics of their food and medication needs. Additionally, it’s important to get comfortable with the surroundings and note where important things are kept in the house including extra food & litter, preferred cleaning products, trash bags, and toys. I will also do a check of the key in the lock before I finish my meet and greet appointment. I ask as many questions as I need to so both the pet parents and I feel comfortable and prepared before the upcoming visits.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Safety is my number one priority during a visit. At the beginning of the visit, I will always do a quick scan of the house/apartment to make sure everything looks right while I am also locating the cats. I make sure the cats are visible and they seem healthy and happy. I also ensure they have been eating and using the litter box. I will always note vomiting or diarrhea issues. At end of the visit, I make sure to secure all doors and windows. I also take pictures of the door being locked.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I’m usually available during holidays. My whole life I’ve had jobs that were open on holidays so it is normal for me.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Wand toys with a ribbon are great to play with. Most cats have a lot of fun with those. Some have mice or feathers on the end, too!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I enjoy working with cats who are timid or anxious. As an ASPCA volunteer, I’ve dealt with that a lot as the shelter environment is very stressful. I make sure to always give new cats their space and be very quiet. I don’t make quick movements. I try to allow cats to come to me first. Usually, cats will eventually be curious enough to want to sniff my hand or my shoes. A little while later, I can introduce their food or a treat (if applicable). Sometimes, cats can be lured out of a hiding spot by their toys or YouTube videos of kittens meowing. Catnip or silvervine is usually a good bet, too. Consistency and patience are key.

Summre

Kae is the best cat sitter we have ever had. Our cat is like a child to us and we don't trust her in just anyone's care. Kae provides the highest possible level of care and attention and is a wonderful communicator. I trust her endlessly to keep an eye on our home and care for our cat while we are traveling. It is such a relief to have found a capable person so we have one less thing to worry about while we are away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pasadena cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
