I'm Susan | Cat Sitting in Valencia, CA

Hello! My name is Susan Edwards and I am a crazy cat lady from Santa Clarita, CA. I wear that title with honor and pride. I am currently owned by four cats of my own. My interest in pet sitting began in 2016 while volunteering at a local cat rescue. My experience there led me to some of my very first jobs. In the beginning of my pet sitting journey, I was a full-time sitter for all types of pets. I cared for cats, dogs, bunnies, chickens, and an assortment of other small creatures. When the pandemic hit, I temporarily cut back on pet sitting and transitioned to a full-time administration job. That job ended in 2021 and I am back to pet sitting as my primary job. This time I am focusing on cats. 😺 My experience spans various types, ages, and personalities of cats, largely gained through my work with the Heaven on Earth rescue. As a volunteer there, I assisted in adoption events, cared for the cats at the local Petsmart, and spent countless hours at their sanctuary, helping socialize the shyest and most spirited kitties. As of July 2022, I am now volunteering for Kitten Rescue doing the same type of thing. You may spot me caring for the adoptable cats at the Stevenson Ranch Petsmart. Feel free to come say hello! I am skilled in administering insulin, giving oral medications, applying topical ointments, and dispensing eye/ear drops. Additionally, I hold certification in animal CPR/First-Aid from the Red Cross and am privately insured through Pet Sitters Associates. When it comes to your precious kitties, I would be delighted to care for them. I believe I possess a unique ability to connect and communicate...

Learn More About Susan

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

Technically I have been cat sitting for friends and family for decades, however that doesn't necessarily translate into professional experience. My first jobs came in 2016, while volunteering at a cat rescue. By the Summer of 2018, pet sitting had become my primary job and I now considered myself a true professional in the field. In 2021 I decided to start focusing on cats only.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

It's tough to pick a favorite, so I will go with a notable one that I get excited about whenever it comes up. It is the biggest cat household I have ever taken on. The number of cats varies per booking. It has been as low as 12 and as high as 17. All of the cats are (or were) local community cats. The client has taken it upon herself to T'n'R the entire neighborhood. Some cats are forever feral so they stay outside. The rest she finds homes for or keeps them herself. The last booking there was 13 total. 4 upstairs, 7 downstairs, and 2 outside. It's a lot of work but I love every minute of it.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have four. "Sir and the Nuggets". The Nuggets were an accident. Sir is my senior rescue boy. He's approximately 14 years old. I adopted him in 2016. In early 2019, I lost my soulmate cat. He was almost 19. My plan was to adopt another older cat when I felt ready. Six months later, the Universe dropped three kittens into my life. Ralphie, Crackle, and Pippi were born in my Mom's backyard. I took on the responsibility of getting them ready for adoption. They got fixed and had their last round of shots just before Covid shut the world down. Well they got comfortable in my home (and my heart) so now I have four cats. It happens. Momma cat (Lucy) is now fixed and living her best life indoors at my Mom's house. She sure picked the right backyard to have her kittens in.

Our A/C was broken and we had someone setup portable units in our home. Susan came through and moved the food and water to a cooler location, emptied the condensation buckets, and played with our cats. She is an asset. Just the peace of mind that she was home is priceless. We love Susan! 10/10

Susan was an Angel sent to our home! She was wonderful with my four cats and took care of all their needs. So happy that my senior cat, Cheeto was comfortable with her when he usually hides when strangers come over. I have beautiful pictures and videos of how relaxed and cute they were with her. Will always request Susan if pet sitting is a concern. Thank you to Meowtel and to Susan for helping me at the last minute!! Can’t say thank you enough!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

As always, Susan put our mind at ease with thorough updates and great videos. She even managed to charm our most super-shy kitty! Thank you, Susan!

This was the first time Susan cared for our two kitties, and we were delighted with everything she did to watch over them! We looked forward to her twice daily updates which were wonderful. It's clear she's a cat-sitting pro and everything went smoothly. We can't wait for our kitties to see Susan again!

Susan Edwards is fantastic. First of all, at our Meet 'n Greet, she got down on the floor, eye-level with our cat Pearl, and Pearl came right out to her--as if she were a long-lost friend. Pearl loved her. Susan speaks "cat", and she was able to get an up-close photo of Pearl that was as good as a professional photograph. I've never gotten one like that! Her photos were perfect. We received updates at each of her visits, & great videos, with commentary! Susan made sure everything was clean & neat before we returned home. Not only did she do everything we asked, she even cleaned the floor around the litter boxes, which I hadn't mentioned. When we got home, Pearl seemed relaxed, happy, & un-stressed. I could tell that Susan loves what she does, and she is very good at it. She is the best pet-sitter that we have had. And, having lived in several cities or towns in Iowa, Texas, & now California, we have gone through several of them. Your kitty will be in excellent hands with Susan.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $42.00. 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.
