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.

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 is amazing with my cats. They are typically very shy but they warm up to Amy within seconds. Amy is super reliable and provides amazing feedback and photos. I know my cats are in great hands and get a lot of love and attention and playtime when Amy takes care of them.

This is our second time booking Amy and we feel so incredibly lucky to have found her. She took care of our two cats, Arthur and Celeste, while we were away in London (+8 hour time difference). Not only did she give them exceptional care—making sure they were fed, happy, and loved—but she also went above and beyond in every possible way. We got extensive daily updates and adorable photos and videos that showed just how relaxed and content our cats were in her care. On top of that, she helped us to track down a few stray packages and even set up a security camera we forgot about before we left. Her attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and genuine love for animals gave us total peace of mind. Even with the time difference, I had no issues getting to sleep and knew there would be no issues that would await me when I woke up. We came home to two very happy cats and a home that had clearly been well looked after. She left such an impact that my Arthur cat was carrying around an old toy that she had pulled out of the toy bin for several days after we were back. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Amy was awesome!! She came over and took great care of our cats. One of our cats is very social and the other is extremely shy and hides from new people. Amy is our cat Zorro’s favorite person. Mochi was a very good at hiding. Thank you Amy! I highly recommend Amy!

My shy geriatric 17 year old girl responds to Amy. She usually runs and hides when anyone besides my husband and I are in the house. She lets Amy pet her and give her treats. I’m completely confident that she is well taken care of.

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 $33.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
