I'm Samantha | Cat Sitting in Simi Valley, CA

If you're looking for someone who loves cats (hopefully) just as much as you do, look no further! I have had a cat by my side quite literally ever since my birth. At no point in my life have I ever not had at least one. That's the "lifetime of experience" guarantee. Many cats I've had throughout my life have had medical necessities, so I'm comfortable administering topical ointments, eye- or eardrops, as well as any oral medications to any cats that may need them. Although my family and I own twelve cats, there's one that we all agree is mine-- his name is Snowball, but I call him Snubby. I'd be just as enthusiastic to share about my cats as I'm sure you'd be about yours-- and I'd love to hear about yours! I currently have a part-time job in the Thousand Oaks area, so I am comfortable driving anywh...

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

Honestly, this is a hard question to answer, because I've been catsitting for THAT long. I've been doing so on Meowtel since late 2022, though. In total, if I had to make an estimate, I'd probably say I've been catsitting fairly regularly for... around ten years or so?

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I just LOVE cats. Cats are my favorite animal and have been since before I even understood the concept of favorites, I'm sure. I have never not had at least one cat in my life. So I truly mean it when I say nothing brings me greater joy than just meeting new cats and learning their different personalities and quirks. It makes me so happy when I can make cats happy the way they make me happy!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My family has twelve cats total, but one is mine. His name is Snowball, but I call him Snubby. I have no idea where I got the nickname, but it stuck. He is a silver bobtail and I call him my son. I've had him since I was eight years old, so he's actually a senior cat! But-- I'm very lucky to report-- he still acts like a kitten, and is as healthy as one!

Sammy did a great job and definitely earned her 5 star review! she gave fantastic and timely updates with each visit, was very patient with my scaredy cat, and overall did a phenomenal job with all three kitties. You can't ask for more than a worry free vacation knowing your kitties at home are in great hands. will definitely be a repeat customer :)

Samantha was amazing! It was my first time using the ap so I was a bit nervous. However after meeting Samantha at the meet and greet I could tell she was an attentive "cat person" and my cats took to her. I have two elderly cats, one who required a pill everyday via a pet piller and the other required lots of extra water. She made sure to take care of their needs. My third cat is super shy and hides from everyone. After a few days she actually out to say hello to Samantha. That speaks volumes! I highly recommend her.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $38.00. 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.
