I'm Zoo
Cat Sitting in Sylmar, CA
I frequently watch my friends' cats and love getting to hang out with these furry balls of joy... I grew up with cats and currently love giving my roommates’ cats love as often as possible, I love to watch my friend's kitties and get kitty cuddles whenever I can. I have pet sit for dogs and cats for four years off and on, and love being able to give these adorable creatures love and attention. I love getting to know each cat's unique personality, and figuring out how best to keep them happy and healthy. Whether your cat loves to play with teaser wands, laser pointers, or prefers a good cuddle, I'll be there to give them all the love and attention they deserve.
I frequently watch my friends' cats and love getting to hang out with these furry balls of joy. Cat sitting allows me to get all the kitty love I want while I can't have any of my own. So really, you're doing me a favor!
I'm excited to meet your furry family! Of course, I'd be happy to also check on houseplants, mail, or other odds and ends you might need while you're out of town. I have experience administering topical and oral medication to your kitties, and am familiar with kitties with special diets and tummy issues.
When I'm not pet sitting, I am a bartender and actor, so my schedule is fairly flexible for check ins. I'm incredibly reliable and communicative, and get along with everyone. I rarely travel for the holidays, so if you need your cats watched while you're on vacation, I'm your sitter! Enjoy your trip while I take care of the kitties, and I'll send plenty of kitty photos to keep you company.

This is our third time having Zoo watch our cats. Zoo went above and beyond for us once again. Due to the weather we had to change our plans last minute. Zoo was more than willing to accommodate us. When we came home our cats were happy and had been well taken care of. Our youngest cat Reilly is a rescue kitty and is very shy. Zoo is the first person that Reilly has let within 5 ft of him. We feel so confident leaving our cats to go on vacation when Zoo is here to take care of them.

We have used Zoo several times to watch our kitties. Our boys are always to happy and content when we get home. Zoo does such a great job at making our rescue kitties feel safe and secure. Reilly doesn't warm up to other people like he does with Zoo. And Zoo always sends the cutest pictures of them. Zoo makes it easy to go away because when know they are being well taken care of.

Zoo was amazing. We had to change plans at last minute and Zoo was most accommodating. When we got home the cats were very happy and well taken care of. We have a rescue cat that is very shy but he actually warmed up to Zoo, though Zoo might not have thought so. Our Reilly has only been around a couple of people prior to Zoo. Zoo gave up daily updates and pictures. We would definitely use Zoo again and would highly recommended.

Zoo is the best cat sitter we've ever had. Couldn't have asked for anyone better to take care of our beloved feline. When we came home after a 2-week international trip, Mia was healthy and happy. We would recommend Zoo to any potential Meowtel clients.

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.
Sylmar cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $36.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
