Cat Sitting in Santa Monica, CA
Petsitting is something that I love to do in my free time! I currently live in Santa Monica and am available to travel to the surrounding areas :) If your home... Hi! My name is Hannah and I would love to care for your cats! I have 17+ years of petsitting experience and currently have 2 cats of my own. I've grown up with cats my entire life and am a huge cat lover. I have worked for a professional petsitting company that I was with for almost two years, have been a sitter with another app for about 4 years, have 2 years experience volunteering in an animal shelter, and have fostered many kittens.
Petsitting is something that I love to do in my free time! I currently live in Santa Monica and am available to travel to the surrounding areas :) If your home is not within my service zone please feel free to still reach out and we can try to make it work!
I am a teacher so my weekday availability is limited during the school year. If my calendar is blocked off for a date you need, please feel free to message me as I may still be able to make it work!
My visits include:
. In person Meet & Greet prior to start date
. Feeding, fresh water, & washing pet bowls
. Litter cleaning/cleaning surrounding areas & any kitty messes around the home
. Medication if needed
. Lots of playtime and pets 😸🐾
. Detailed updates with a bunch of cute photos
. I’ll always be on call in case of any emergencies!
. And any other requests you may have 😄
I would be happy to wear a mask if requested and take any other precautions necessary in order to make you feel most comfortable.
Can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby 🥰
Learn More About Hannah
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love having the opportunity to meet so many different cats! Every cat has such a unique personality and it’s the best feeling once they become comfortable around you and really warm up. Getting to be around so many different cats makes catsitting so enjoyable. I also love having repeat clients whose cats I get to see often because I’ve developed such a bond with them 🥰
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I do! I have 2 cats that are brother and sister, named Whiskey and Remi. They are the sweetest and I’ve had them since they were just 4 weeks old.

Hannah was lovely with my pet cat. She sent pictures of the visits, fed him, cleaned the litter box and played with him. Hannah took extra care of his needs and even changed the litter pad and took out the trash for me! Two thumbs up!!

Hannah is fantastic! I’ve used her multiple times without issue. Besides being responsive and great about updates, Hannah is REALLY GOOD with shy and skittish cats. One of my cats is so skittish, she’ll run away when you crumple a bag of chips in front of her. Miraculously, Hannah has gotten her out and even successfully gave her pets! Super happy with Hannah- grateful I found her!

I really appreciate her daily photo updates and her willingness to go above and beyond with whatever that may be! Hannah was so great and exceeded my expectations!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

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.
Santa Monica 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 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!

I cannot say enough nice things about Hannah! She was extremely communicative and thorough with our kitties while we were away for a long weekend. Our babies aren’t always friendly with strangers and they absolutely adored Hannah! Even ended up laying in her lap ❤️ Hannah sent lots of pictures that made us feel very reassured our kitties were well looked after. Highly recommend her and will be booking her again!

Hannah was the best sitter for my cat Emma! Emma can be a little shy with strangers but she came out immediately for Hannah, who indulged her with as many pets and cuddles as possible. Hannah is very professional and took great care of Emma while I was away. Her daily updates were also very appreciated!
