Cat Sitting in Redondo Beach, CA

Hi fellow cat lovers! Before I rattle on about myself, let’s talk cats! Specifically, *your* cats and what you can expect with me as your kitty sitter.

During my visits, I will thoroughly clean all litter boxes and surrounding areas, wash and refresh all water bowls, give feedings per your instructions (no directions are too detailed!), and give all the pets, snuggles, and play time. I like to make sure your kitty’s experience is as close to normal while you’re away to minimize any stress or fear.

I’ll give you a full breakdown of my findings during my visit, including litter habits, food consumption, kitty’s mood, and how the visit went overall. I also love to take lots of photos and videos during my stay so expect to receive several each visit. This helps ensure you get the full scope of my care and videos really help show the true demeanor of your cat (coming from a cat mama of a boy who had SERIOUS RBF). I am also sure to note if anything seems off and will clarify anything out of the norm with you...

By trade, I’m a self-employed graphic designer and work from my home in Manhattan Beach. This gives me lots of flexibility to come and take care of your kitties. I’m available for both morning and evening visits or any other times throughout the day.

Now, a little bit about me. I’ve been a cat lady my entire life. My family always had cats while I was growing up and I adopted my first pair of kittens the second I got my own apartment in 2006. My kittos, Jasper and Bella (both pictured in my photo gallery), are the loves of my life. We went through everything together over the years. In 2019, I was blindsided by Bella’s cancer diagnosis. We gave it absolutely everything we could, but devastatingly, she crossed the rainbow bridge in October 2019. She is my angel girl forever and always 🦋. At 9 years old, Jasper was diagnosed with HCM, CKD, IBD, and chronic pancreatitis. We had a great regimen and he was stable for many years. His heart disease rapidly advanced over his last year and he suddenly declined in November 2022 when I had to say goodbye. I have peace knowing Jasper and Bella are reunited once again and I know they are always watching over me. They made me the cat mama I am today and I will carry them with me FOREVER. ❤️‍🩹

My love for kitties is what brings me to Meowtel. I am very patient, soft-natured, and can read cat cues to understand their moods and respond appropriately. Having had a scaredy cat myself, I know the importance of respecting a kitty’s space. Also going through medical issues with my own kitties, I am experienced in giving oral pills, injections, and transdermal medications.

I primarily serve South Bay and the neighboring areas. Feel free to send me a message to chat more in-depth about my services or to discuss your needs. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting all the kitties!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I started cat sitting in 2021 as a hobby, thinking I'd have a reservation here and there. Boy was I wrong! It has blossomed into such an amazing experience and keeps my calendar quite full. I look forward to each and every visit!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Bonding with so many cats! As an absolute cat lover, there is no greater joy or reward. Every single cat is so unique and special.

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

I am incredibly detail-oriented and will ask a thorough list of questions at our meet and greet, covering all aspects from care to your kitty's unique personality traits. I also provide comprehensive updates with each visit. My goal is for both you and your kitty to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.

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

I feel like this is my specialty. One of my childhood kitties was super timid so scaredy cats have a special place in my heart. My principle is to always let them guide the interaction. I slowly approach and let their reaction determine my next steps. If they are curious, I'll offer my hand or belongings for them to sniff. Then a treat or favorite toy. If they are curious but not open to engagement, I'll quietly talk to them or sit nearby and play calming cat music. If my presence causes more stress, I do a quick visual check to make sure they are okay, then let them be while I take care of the other duties.

We have booked Amy to take care of our cats multiple times now and we are so grateful to have her in our lives. This trip was a bit different as one of my cats wasn't eating great the day I left. I organized him to go to the vet and then when he was done Amy picked him up from the vet for us and brought him home. She also brought over all kinds of other food options to give him to try to eat. She documented everything thoroughly with pictures and videos so we could get a handle on what was going on with him. The information that she provided was critical in our decision to cut our trip short and get home to our cat. We are so grateful for the extra time that she spent with him and all the supplies she brought over and the info that she provided. She is a true cat lover and just an amazing human being.

Amy has been a regular sitter for my cat Sneezy since 2022, and I always know she’s in great hands. She sends the best updates with tons of photos and videos, which I really appreciate. She also administers Sneezy’s inhaler without any issues, and I never feel anxious about her care when I’m away. I can’t recommend her enough!

We have booked Amy several times to take care of our 2 babies and she continues to be absolutely amazing with them! She sends wonderful daily photos and videos that instantly put our minds at ease while we are away, and you can truly tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for our babies. What impressed us most on this trip was her ability to handle our boy Arthur, who can be notoriously difficult when it comes to taking his daily medication. She handled his pilling routine smoothly and safely, which was a huge relief for us. She is timely, consistent, trustworthy, and communicative She took care of our home and brought in errant packages. Having a sitter we can rely on time and time again gives us total peace of mind. We will definitely continue booking her in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough!

This was our first time ever using a sitter for our cats. We wanted to make sure we had someone we trusted 100%, and Amy was the definition of that! She made the trip over to do a meet and great which gave us (and our cats) so much comfort! She asked all the right questions, and set us up for success. Day of her visit she notified us prior to arrival, and sent many photos, videos, and updates of our babies!! Could not recommend Amy more- makes us want to go out of town more, knowing we have someone we trust now!!

Amy was super communicative and clearly cared about making sure our kitties were as happy as they could be while we were away. She was very kind and took notes at our meet and greet, which put this anxious cat mom at ease. Thank you Amy! We will definitely schedule with her again.

Amy always does the best job with our cats. Her visit updates are always thorough with lots of pictures, videos, and paragraph long updates that brings us such peace of mind. She goes the extra mile without being asked when it comes to caring for our babies, and we couldn’t be luckier to have found her a year ago as our go-to Meowtel sitter 🤍

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Redondo Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

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

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
