Cat Sitting in Santa Monica, CA

Hi, Im Theresa.

I have fostered over 25 kittens and cats for the past 5 years in New York/New Jersey (ACC and Jersey Cats), London (RSPCA) and LA (Pups and Pooses Venice).

I’m very comfortable looking after cats which are not my own and I’m very experienced with a wide variety of cats, their different habits and specific needs - from socializing shy kittens to even teaching one of my foster cats tricks! He was a very clever boy 😄


I love spending time with cats and getting to know their unique personalities.
Whether they are shy little introverts or playful kittens with lots of energy, I will adapt to their...
Hi, Im Theresa.

I have fostered over 25 kittens and cats for the past 5 years in New York/New Jersey (ACC and Jersey Cats), London (RSPCA) and LA (Pups and Pooses Venice).

I’m very comfortable looking after cats which are not my own and I’m very experienced with a wide variety of cats, their different habits and specific needs - from socializing shy kittens to even teaching one of my foster cats tricks! He was a very clever boy 😄


I love spending time with cats and getting to know their unique personalities.
Whether they are shy little introverts or playful kittens with lots of energy, I will adapt to their needs, patiently holding up a treat until they trust me or giving my most realistic expression of the worm toy to match their energy!

I’m experienced in caring for a variety of kittens and cats, including giving them medication when they’re sick.

I also have my own cat and have used cat sitters to look after him, so I know what it’s like to let someone in to your house and trust them with your pet. That’s why I treat every client’s place with respect and care and each cat as if it was my own.

When I don’t look after cats I work as a Software Engineer for a TV/Streaming company. I also love Pilates and exploring different neighborhoods.

I can be flexible around times and days and can work around my client’s schedule. I’m based in Santa Monica, so that’s where I’m looking to cat sit.

I’m very trustworthy and reliable and I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friends! 🐱🐱🐱

Theresa recently watched my two cats during my most recent trip and I am so happy with how she treated my cats. They were both happy and not so clingy/agitated when I returned, so I know she treated them both so well and gave them attention! She was so thorough and not only sent me daily detailed pictures and videos of both my little babies—she also showed clean bowls with food and clean litter boxes, which I truly appreciated! You can tell she truly cares about cats and making sure you know they are well taken care of. I highly recommend her.

Theresa did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my 3 kitties while I was away! From the start, she was incredibly communicative, keeping me updated and sending lots of photos and videos that reassured me they were happy and in great hands. She’s very detail-oriented and followed all of my instructions perfectly, going above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. My cats adored her! She truly has a natural gift with cats, and it shows. I felt completely at ease knowing they were being so well cared for. I can’t recommend her highly enough and would definitely book her again!

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 $35.00. 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!
