I'm Tim
Cat Sitting in Sherman Oaks, CA
My journey in feline care began with our first adopted cat, Monkey—my greatest teacher. Throughout his life, he bravely managed type II diabetes (including twice-daily insulin injections), and later faced lymphoma and colon cancer. Caring for him taught me not only how to administer daily feline healthcare to a cautious cat, but also how to read the subtle signs of pain, happiness, irritability, and overall quality of life.
Today, I specialize in compassionate in-home care for cats—especially seniors and those with medical needs—while their humans are out of town or working long hours... In-Home Cat Care with experience.

Learn More About Tim
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Building meaningful connections with my cat clients is incredibly rewarding. I genuinely care about their well-being and will go above and beyond to ensure they receive the best care possible while you’re away. Your pets deserve love and attention, and I’m here to provide that support.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two adorable Tabby girls named Masie, who's 3 years old, and Dory, who's 7. My husband and I absolutely adore them, and we would do just about anything for our lovely little ladies!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Clearly communicate your expectations. I will do everything you request within my capabilities. I will always clarify if something is outside my expertise, although few tasks are.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I always stay aware of my surroundings when entering and exiting. After setting any alarms, I triple-check the door locks to ensure the home is secure until my next visit. For larger homes, I often conduct perimeter checks to confirm that the property is safe, secure, and functioning as intended. I prefer that clients provide me with a unique alarm code and entry code, if applicable.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I’m available for most holidays. Please book your winter & summer booking 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 favorite toy, and most cats find it irresistible. It features a mouse-like fur ball attached to a leather string, which is then connected to a pole. While the design may seem simple, the combination of materials and overall design makes it captivating, even for the least playful cats. https://www.purrniture.com/product/p/purrfect-leatherbouncer
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.

Tim is an exceptional cat sitter whose first priority is always what is best for our two 14‑year‑old cats, and his professionalism and resourcefulness gave us true peace of mind throughout this recent reservation. He has cared for our two senior cats multiple times, and we have been genuinely pleased every single time. Before our recent extended trip for my father’s 80th birthday, Tim came by to reacquaint himself with our home, the cats, and their routines, which reassured us that every detail was covered. Since Tim last helped us, our male cat was diagnosed with diabetes and now requires two injections daily, and Tim’s experience giving diabetes injections was a key reason we felt completely comfortable leaving our diabetic cat in his care. When our male cat became anxious and aggressive about his injections, Tim notified us immediately and worked with us to adjust the plan. In fact, Tim went above and beyond by reaching out to his cat‑sitting community and finding a colleague who was willing to step in and help with shots during a period when she was also very busy, which truly felt like a small miracle and allowed us to finish our important family holiday instead of cutting it short. He handled the entire situation with patience, kindness, and steadiness that a less experienced sitter might not have managed. Tim’s calm demeanor, clear communication, and reliable follow‑through meant our home was in excellent shape when we returned. Our cat’s refusal to accept shots was entirely about our cat’s quirks, not Tim’s skills or personality. Any cat parent knows that cats can be quirky, and Tim remained completely professional throughout. Tim is not only an outstanding cat sitter but also a truly quality human being, and we feel very fortunate to have found him. We recommend him as highly as possible and would not hesitate for a moment to refer him to anyone needing expert, compassionate care for their cats.

I was so worried to leave my cat while I went on vacation that I almost considered canceling my trip, but I decided to take a chance and hire a cat sitter instead and I’m so happy we found Tim! I needed someone to give my cat daily injections and he executed that perfectly. He’s also clearly such a cat whisperer; my Susan took to him instantly so I was really put at ease leaving her in his hands. I will definitely be booking Tim again next time I need to go out of town!

Tim was nothing short of amazing. This was Tim’s first time with our Gumbo and Po-boy, and he had his hands full. Our two senior cats are super lovable but have diabetes and cancer, respectively. So their health ebbs and flows. Of course, a week before we head out for the holiday, Gumbo fractures a toe, and Poboy decides he doesn’t like the litter box anymore. Needless to say, we threw some curveballs at Tim, and he hit them out of the park. He was extremely attentive to Po-boy and Gumbo, showering them with love and affection through numerous pets. He was also very communicative and sent us numerous images and videos to keep us updated on their progress. He even went above and beyond to secure the house from bathroom accidents, as well as taking out our trash and bringing in our packages. He also made recommendations on how to administer medication and what treats and foods could better hydrate Gumbo. Our trip was made smoother, knowing that Tim was caring for our cats.

This was the first time I used Meowtel and as one can imagine, unsure and nervous. One of my two cats is a senior cat with medical needs, mostly daily subcutaneous fluids and Tim was more than capable. The meet and greet was just what my nerves needed to feel confident leaving my fur babies behind while I go on a work trip. Tim is a cat whisper and even my younger shy cat was receptive with Tim! Thank you!!

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!

Review for Tim Curtis - Exceptional Cat Sitter I recently had the pleasure of having Tim Curtis watch over my senior cat, Trixie, while I was away for the weekend, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. Tim was phenomenal, delivering exceptional care with the utmost kindness. My cat was well-fed, had fresh water, and was brushed, rubbed, and spoiled beyond measure. Tim's attentive care allowed me to enjoy my vacation with my spouse without any worries. The pictures and videos he sent put my mind at ease and showed just how happy and well-cared-for my cat was. But Tim's exceptional service didn't stop there. He noticed some symptoms in my cat that I hadn't even seen and shared his concerns with me. Thanks to his keen observation, we took her to the vet the next day, and he was right! Because of Tim, my cat is now on a treatment plan and receiving the care she needs. I am incredibly grateful for his diligence and care. If you're considering hiring Tim, please don't hesitate. Your fur babies will be in for a treat and will be taken care of with the highest standards. Tim is simply the best! Tim, thank you so very much! Anne and Michael

This is the first time I've used Meowtel and I was so nervous about all the things that could possibly go wrong. None of it did. I met with Tim when he came over to meet my two cats and he was so gentle and kind with them. He asked questions about what was needed, how best to care for them, and explored ways he could build trust with my two shy kitties. Meowtel made it easy and worth it to take the leap of faith, I was not disappointed. I will absolutely be calling on Tim again whenever I go out of town.

Tim is the best! We really enjoyed how much time and care he put into the meet and greet not only getting to know our cats, but also my husband and I on a friendly personal level. He came so prepared even to that first meeting with toys, treats and catnip that put our cats at ease right away. Even our shy girl came to check out his bag of goodies and felt comfortable accepting treats and playing a little bit. He sent me a ton of cute pics and even a few gifs everyday of our cats. He’ll definitely be our go-to cat sitter in the future!

Tim is the best. Full stop. I finally felt comfortable leaving my diabetic cat, Miki, because I trusted Tim, and that’s RARE. It’s hard to find someone who can handle insulin and genuinely vibe with your cat. But Tim? Total cat guy. Warm energy. Miki didn’t even hide. He came fully loaded with treats, toys, and genuine vibes. He let Miki warm up to him, didn’t force anything, and sent amazing updates that were thoughtful, detailed, and actually helpful. Like, I felt relaxed. Me?? Relaxed?? Wild. And listen. I’d been serving meals on paper plates like a tired goblin, but Tim busted out real dishware for Miki and now my cat has standards. He scoffs at paper plates. So thanks for that, Tim. But truly, Tim is kind, patient, and clearly loves cats. Omg and he gets the best model pictures. I’m beyond relieved to have someone like him nearby. I’ll absolutely book him again. If he’s available, don’t hesitate. Just don’t take my dates. 100/10. Except your cat will have higher standards when you get back.
Response from Tim
Biana, thank you so much for that glowing review. It was truly a great pleasure to get to know you and Miki…he is such a gently, kind, affectionate boy and I look forward to caring for him again 😺

Tim took care of our cat for 8 days. We booked Tim to visit our cat twice a day. Our cat was not eating well in our absence but Tim did a great job helping our cat eat some food, putting our mind at ease and allowing us to finish our vacation. Tim kept us informed during each of his visits regarding our cats wellbeing and also helped with keeping the house tidied in our absence. Tim made sure to give lots of love and affection to our cat during our absence. Thank you Tim!

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!

Daily updates, WITH PICS! I can go on…I just can’t say enough wonderful things about him. I’m incredibly grateful, and as his “fan base” grows, I can only hope he’s available next time. he’s the best! dare I say, book him now…do not sit on this “peace of mind.” Thank you Tim ~ from ALL of us!

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 is the best! Halen loves him to bits and is always happy when he comes over. Buddy is my senior guy and Tim takes special care watching out for him…appetite, mood, stools…everything! He even gets him to take his subcutaneous fluids without much fuss. Freya is our “stranger danger” hider (even with me) but Tim reports on her food intake (her food is kept separately). Tim is a member of our clowder and is an absolute blessing!
Response from Tim
I love you guys too…especially my Halen girl. 💙😽

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.
Response from Tim
Ot truly was my pleasure caring for Bugsy over Christmas. He’s a wonderful boy and you both were great to work with 😺

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 :).

Stinky and Bumble were such wonderful boys that I bonded with right away.

Tim made sure my cats were well tended to and did an amazing job, he provided both charming and high quality photos and made it so that the cats didn't even get mad at me when I got home!

Tim did great! We had 8 kittiens which he watched for 2 weeks. Even with so many, he did well. They were all well fed and played with the entire time. Good communication and pictures everyday. Would definitely use him again.
Response from Tim
Thabks for the great review. I truly loved spending time with your kitten family…it was hard to leave them.

I knew Gary would probably be too shy to come out during Tim’s visits but Tim was still able to engage with him through great treasure hunts that he would leave for Gary. I always received daily updates and could tell Gary was being well taken care of by Tim. I will definitely book with Tim again!

Tim went above and beyond! I get super nervous to leave my fur babies and he was absolutely the best at making sure they were well taken care of and that I was constantly communicated with. Thank you Tim!

I obviously haven’t hired every cat sitter on the app but if I had to assume, I’m going to say that Tim is the absolute best this app has to offer! his communication is awesome, he sent great updates and made the nicest videos! and you can just tell he genuinely loves cats which is very comforting! 1000/10!!

We were looking for an awesome cat sitter we can trust. Tim did an amazing job playing with our kitten. Tim kept us informed throughout his visit and sent us a lot of pictures and videos to ease our worries. We plan to use his services on a continued basis. Thank you Tim!

Tim always takes great care of our boys, and this time he went above and beyond when our flights were delayed and we asked to tack on one more visit to our reservation. We are so thankful for Meowtel and Tim!
Response from Tim
Coming over to care for your amazing boys is always a highlight of my day. I so appreciate you guys as a client and regard Simon & Arthur as my own 💙

Tim is an amazing cat sitter! He did a great job sending us detailed updates and making sure our cats were happy and healthy. He even had our shy senior cat (who takes a very long time to warm up to people) literally eating out of his hand :). On top of all that, he vacuumed up some litter mess so we came home to a clean house. We’ll definitely be reserving Tim again!
Katie
February 22, 2024
Tim was extremely communicative and sent tons of wonderful pictures. He eased my anxiety about leaving my cats. He also took extra care to check the house during the rains and left cat tv on for the kitties in case they were nervous with the bad weather. I'll happily have Tim back to care for my cats.
Celine
October 11, 2022
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.
Heather
October 7, 2022
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.
Jill
July 23, 2022
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.
Mae Linh
May 24, 2022
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.
Mae
October 20, 2024
I always feel comfortable leaving the furballs in Tim’s care. My one cat looks for him even after I get home! Tim is also super easy to work with and very cat knowledgeable.
Debora

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.
Roxana

Tim is an absolute gem ! He took such an excellent care of our lady Bella who is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice a day . He made sure our house was safe and secure also . Highly recommend Tim and we will be using his services next time we are out of town . Thanks a million Tim !
Megan
August 13, 2022
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 ☺️
Jareth
January 5, 2022
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!!
Jareth
December 1, 2021
Tim was fantastic, my cats are shy but sweet and he took the time to let them get comfortable. He also took care of some stuff I *definitely* should have done myself but forgot to when packing, the litter in particular, and sent photos that I absolutely had to show my family!
Ryan
August 31, 2023
Tim is the perfect cat sitter! Especially for those like us that have cats with diabetes. Constant professional from first initial text message all the way though meet and greet and caring for my senior cat. Tim was always super responsive and fast. Also provided some of the most adorable glamour shot photo updates and detailed visit descriptions while I was away. He is truly at cat whisper that will make sure your fur baby is taken very good care of.
Katherine
November 26, 2023
Tim was so sweet and sensitive with my boys, who were a little shy at first. he asked a lot of great questions and showed such sweet attentive care in his updates. We will be using him again!
Response from Tim
Thank you for the great review, Katherine. I had a great time with Simon & Arthur and truly look forward to the next visit!
Jennifer

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.
Michael

Tim was punctual, very kind, and thorough. Sent plenty of photos to us, took extra time to make sure the kitties were comfortable, and he even brought some extra treats. 11/10
Elise
January 28, 2024
Ever since we found Tim we haven't used any other sitter! He always brings catnip and treats and takes the time to get our shy little kitty to come out for some pets and playtime! He'll even offer to water your plants and always brings packages inside. Highly recommend!! :)
Response from Tim
Thank you for that wonderful review, Elise. It’s always a pleasure working with you and Elaine Benes is such a sweet girl.
Paula
September 26, 2023
He took great care of our home, and the communication was good during the entire stay. Our cat is very shy with other people, but Tim really knew how to interact with her, respecting her space and not pushing interactions or anything that takes her out of her comfort zone. We already have him booked for our next trips and will definitely trust him for others to come.
Kathryn
July 19, 2023
Tim is the best! One of my cats is diabetic, and it’s hard finding cat sitters that I feel comfortable with and can trust. With Tim, I knew my little girl was in good hands! He’s very experienced, has great communication, and takes absolutely fantastic update photos. You can tell he really loves cats and has a big heart. I can’t recommend him enough!
Claudia
December 1, 2022
Tim was fantastic! I have two 15 year old senior cats. One cat requires medication, and Tim was not intimidated. He communicated every visit. He left us at ease while we traveled. Tim is a GODsend! I am very grateful to have found him. I highly recommend him.
Krysta
November 10, 2022
Tim was very easy to book with and very communicative. I am new to having a cat sitter as one of my kitties is currently on meds. We had some issues due to my cat being skittish but Tim was very clear about what was going on and even gave me tips for the next time I might need someone.
Roselyn
December 27, 2021
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 :)
Geovana
October 6, 2022
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!
Tammara
May 31, 2022
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.
Richard
October 11, 2024
Tim is my first choice for cat sitting in my current location. He's responsive, responsible, flexible, cares for my cats as well as I do when I'm home, and gives me complete satisfaction that everything with the cats is fine in my absence. He went above-and-beyond on this latest trip, FedExing my forgotten phone to me. If he's available, go with Tim.
Heather
August 3, 2023
Our cats love Tim! We have one friendly cat and one scaredy-cat and Tim was able to charm them both. He sends lots of photos, is very communicative, and is a pleasure to work with. We felt relief knowing Tim was there to give our cats the attention they needed while we were traveling! Great sitter!
Nyle

Shelly

Tim was amazing from the first contact and preliminary visit through his time with my girls! You can tell from the moment you meet him that he loves what does. The situation isn’t easy with two high maintenance cats, but Tim was so patient with everything. Even though it was a short time, I was totally at ease knowing that he was taking care of them. I would recommend Tim 100%!!
Janine
