Learn More About Gigi

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do have two kitties myself, Pawter and Tulip. They are both girls but total opposite of each other. Pawter is a 7-year-old girl who likes to soend most of her days sunbathing, lounging, and judging everyone else in the house. Tulip is 6 years old,l and more playful than Pawter. She likes to do zoomies at 3am and loves to be chased around the house.

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

When I meet a new cat parent, I start with a thorough consultation to learn about your kitty’s routine — feeding schedule, litter box preferences, play style, and any medical or behavioral notes. I believe cats thrive when their routines are kept consistent, so I tailor my visits to match what they’re used to at home. During each drop-in, I make sure all essentials are covered (fresh food, water, and a clean litter box), and then spend quality time giving play, cuddles, or calm companionship depending on your cat’s personality. After each visit, I’ll send a detailed update with photos and notes so you always know how your kitty is doing while you’re away. My goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for — as if you’d never left.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am. I travel occasionally but usually not during holidays. My family is in California so I do not need to go anywhere during holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite is the interactive puzzle feeder — it’s enrichment and entertainment rolled into one. As a kitty’s butler, I love serving up playtime that challenges their mind as well as their paws.

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

When caring for timid or anxious cats, my first priority is creating a quiet, low-pressure environment where they feel safe. I let them set the pace—giving them plenty of space, moving slowly, and letting them come to me if and when they’re ready. I pay close attention to their body language and respect their boundaries, never forcing interaction. I also stick closely to their usual routines because familiarity can be very comforting for anxious cats. Soft voices, gentle movements, and cozy hiding spots go a long way. Sometimes just quietly sitting nearby, reading or working, helps them realize I’m a safe presence without any pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

South El Monte cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
