I'm Tim | Cat Sitting in Sherman Oaks, CA
I’m a cat guy to my core. Taking exceptional care of these creatures started as a side hustle and has quickly turned into a thriving small business I’m passionate about. Our first adopted cat, Monkey, taught me much throughout his life. During his last five years, he developed type II diabetes, which required twice-daily insulin injections, and eventually lymphoma and colon cancer, which required daily pill administration, constant health assessments, and additional grooming. These conditions taught me how to administer medications to a skittish cat, and how to listen for their pain and other tell-tale signs through subtle behavior traits--all while gauging their hap...

Tim was an excellent cat sitter

Tim is fantastic as always. My cat became ill unexpectedly and Tim was right there to step in to help with sitting when I couldn’t be there and give my cat the extra care he needed.

TIM IS WONDERFUL. I've been communicating with Tim for a couple of months because I needed a caring pet sitter for a then upcoming vacation trip that I later had to cancel due to our cat being diagnosed with late stage CKD. Tim has been caring and understanding the whole time even though we haven't met just yet. Yesterday morning, I needed to urgently go to the vet because of a failed attempt to get a pee sample from him to check for UTI the night before. The vet told us to bring him back the following day. My husband couldn't join me because he had to go to work. I currently have a physical limitation due to a fainting episode a couple of months back. Long story short, in a bit of panic (due to some pain that morning) I was thinking if only someone could come and help get Buff to the car from the second floor to the car, I'll be alright the rest of the way. I contacted Tim without much hope since it was so last minute (needed him to come two hours later). Tim was very gracious, very professional, and able to squeeze us in between his cat sitting visits despite not having met us before just yet. We were able to successfully get a pee sample for our boy and we are very grateful to Tim. I would be in a lot of pain right now if Tim wasn't able to be Buff's hero of the day. Thank you Tim :).

Fantastic care! My cat was unexpectedly ill and Tim jumped in and did all the necessary and amazing things to make sure he got better. Super skilled and my cat loves him.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sherman Oaks cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $39.00. 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.
