Learn More About Tim

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Forming bonds with my cat clients is priceless. I truly and deeply care for their well being and will do anything to ensure the best care is given to them while you’re gone.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My two Tabby girls are Masie (3 years) and Dory (7 years). My husband and I are devoted to them and would do most anything for our lady girls.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Be clear with your expectations. I will do absolutely everything you request whithin my ability. I will always explain if something is out of my wheelhouse (but not many tasks are).

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

I like to get to know the client and share some personal details about myself. If possible, I try to imprint on their animals during a meet & greet, however, that doesn't always happen as we hope. In those cases I will leave am item of clothing with my scent in their home to introduce my scent into their home. If for any reason the cat requires hands-on medical care and I suspect they may be difficult to handle (it doesn’t happen often but its happened once), I encourage the parent to book a “test run” where they will book me for a single visit. The parents will remain in town and go out for an hour while I come over with my keys to enter the home and complete the procedure. This greatly helps identify skid dish cats and avoid early returns from The client.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I am always aware of my surroundings while entering and exiting. After arming any alarms, I triple check door locks to ensure the home is secure until the next visit. For large homes, I often do perimeter checks to ensure the home is safe, secure and as intended.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I’m available for most holidays. Please book your winter holidays as early as possible to avoid any declines as this is my feline Super Bowl.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The Purrr-Fect Leather Bouncer Cat toy is my go-to toy that most cats can’t resist. It’s just a mouse-like furr ball on a leather string attached to a pole—but the way this toy is designed makes it irresistible.

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

I like to bring items of clothing over to introduce my scent while the parents are home. I uses appealing scents like Silvervine, catnip and Fel Away to ease the cats. I like to hide treats around the home to create a scavenger hunt game for them while I’m gone—if I can’t interact with them, this game is enjoyable for them and keeps them busy.

I've used Tim multiple times, for short and long trips, and my cats have always been extermely well-cared-for, happy, and healthy. Tim gives me a lot of daily feedback and I've never worried about anything while I've been away from home.

Found out about Meowtel from IG a few weeks before our trip and was able to find Tim from the many cat-sitters available. Tim responded quickly and my wife and I appreciated that he took the time to come by to meet us and our cats beforehand. It's difficult to trust strangers into your home but we felt absolutely "at home" with Tim. He kept us updated with each visit with photos and videos. Provided some insights and tips on a few things and made us feel at ease being away from the cats. Tim was also open to schedule adjustments and was open to any requests we may have. Will definitely reserve Tim again for future trips! Thanks, Tim!

Tim did an amazing job taking care of my 2 senior dudes. One of them has CKD so I was especially concerned about getting a sitter who could keep an eye on him and watch for the usual symptoms. After meeting Tim and seeing the dudes get comfortable with him, I was glad to have that concern checked off the list. Prompt updates with visit notes and pics/vids meant I could enjoy my vacation not worrying. Tim is very conscientious and thorough and clearly takes this responsibility seriously. (Which is what every pet parent should want in a sitter.) I would book with Tim again, no question!

Tim was just what we were looking for. This was our first time using a sitter for our boy Bugsy. He has medical needs that needed taking care of while we were away, and Tim was able to handle them all. We were put at ease knowing Bugsy would be getting his fluids and meds every day in our absence. And Bugsy got along well with Tim, which also put us as ease. Tim communicated well, and sent us pictures during his visits. He was available for phone calls as well when we had questions. All in all, he met our expectations and allowed us to feel like we'd left Bugsy in good hands.

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 :).

Tim is a wonderful cat sitter. Before I left for a long weekend, my cats, having been through a scary medical event, multiple vet visits, and a change of diet, were stressed and fighting with each other. Tim sat with them near their hiding places, tempted them with treats and catnip to come out of hiding, and, of course, made sure they had food, clean water, and a clean litter box. When I came back, my cats were calm, getting along much better, and just generally a lot less anxious. I wish I knew how to take care of cats as well as Tim does.

Tim was amazing! Kind and dedicated, he always sent a detailed report after each visit and tons of photos. He took great care of my cat and I'm grateful for it. My cat is 18 years old and quite fragile, and Tim seems to know what he's doing and how to work with elderly cats.

Tim is a caring, attentive person and I would highly recommend him. He goes above and beyond, offering treats and catnip and brushing when it isn’t even requested. One time the key broke off in the lock and he went home to get a tool so he could fix it and still attend to my diabetic cat, Mikey. The last time my cat needed extra attention because his blood sugar was too low and Tim moved some things around so he could stay a little longer to make sure Mikey was okay.

I’ll be hiring Tim again! loved his service. I was in the middle of my trip when I reached out about a sitter. My cats are shy and Tim acknowledged that, moving around as to not scare them. I really appreciated that. Communication was always on point, which left me feeling at ease. Thank you Tim!

My very shy cat liked Tim from day one and I trust her judgment. Tim has a great understanding of cats and their needs, personalities, and medical issues (like knowing to watch for behavior changes in food and litter). Very responsible and I felt comfortable with him in my home. Great experience!

We absolutely love Tim! He takes amazing care of our three cats, including two with special medical needs. Both of them require pills, oral liquid medications, and/or IV fluids regularly, which Tim all nailed the first time we showed him. We know we can count on Tim to keep our babies well loved ☺️

Tim is the absolute best cat sitter I have ever had. My cats adore him, and when he's come by to pick up keys, one will even interrupt his sacred afternoon nap to come running. Tim cleans up cat vomit, runs the vacuum cleaner, gives my long-haired Maine Coon the kind of grooming that would cost me a fortune at a cat salon, and even picks up my mail. He is gentle, funny, kind, and incredibly attuned to my cats' emotions and needs. I love the pictures he sends of the cats and the quirky little things he tells me about them that makes me feel not so far away from them. As a cat sitter, Tim rocks.

Tim took phenomenal care of our 4 cats while we were away for two weeks. Twice a day, he expertly and patiently administered an oral/non-chewable pill to a cat who really does not like this. Watching him do this a few times, we could see that he had a calming/low stress affect on our cat. He also patiently built relationships with our other cats who are a bit skittish around ‘outsiders’. A few things came up around the house while we were away and Tim proactively managed those for us. He was communicative, dependable and generous with his time (spending extra to bond with the cats and complete a few household tasks). We are pretty picky with whom we decide to trust, but Tim displayed so much competence that he will be our new ‘go-to’ when we are away.

We cannot speak highly enough of Tim! We had never used Meowtel before, but needed someone to check in on our two senior boys while we were away. Tim took the time to explain everything very thoroughly. While we were gone, he provided updates and was sure to send us plenty of photos of our two boys. It gave us great peace of mind knowing that he was looking after them, and we were able to enjoy our vacation so much more because of that. We will definitely be coming back to him for all our future sitting needs.

Tim is wonderful. He has a very calm, sweet, caring demeanor. My cat was very comfortable around him and I hope to book him in the future. He was punctual and super easy to communicate with during the booking process and throughout the visit. He sent me photos and updates while he was with my kitty.

Tim was incredible! Our elder gentleman required insulin injections and Tim was able to administer them no problem. We also really appreciated the visit summaries and pictures. Tim was patient and kind, understanding that our cat was settling in to a new house and a new house. We are just so pleased with how well cared for our cat was and would definately hire Tim again.

I rebooked with Tim after he did a great job with my cats over Thanksgiving and he managed to do an even better job! My cats are usually mad at me for a few days after I get home and this time they were so well looked after that their grudge only lasted twenty minutes! Tim also took a lot of great photos of them being affectionate in ways that they only are to people they trust and quite frankly I can't offer a higher endorsement than the cat's trust, even the very shy one!!

Tim is an amazing sitter and takes fabulous care of my 3 fur babies. He called me when one of my babies had a litter accident and provided great insights. I feel so safe and relieved to leave my kitties with him. I recommend him without any hesitations and I will for sure book again with 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 $36.00. 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.
