I'm Susan | Cat Sitting in Valencia, CA
Hello there! 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 with another company, primarily caring for dogs. When the pandemic hit, I temporarily cut back on pet sitting and transitioned to a full-time admin job. That job has ended and I am back to pet sitting full-time. This time I will be focusing on cats so I am happy to have found Meowtel. 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, where you may spot me caring for the 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. In my leisure time I enjoy reading, writing, tak...
Susan's Reviews
Kristine
Susan was an absolute gem in our home. Cat dad and I got meowied and miss Pepper had to be alone without us for the first time which seemed as if it was harder on me then Pepper. Pepper did just fine playing, being fed twice a day by Susan. thank you for relieving my nerves!

Susan is an amazing catsitter! She provided plenty of videos and photos, watered plants, and took great care of our 3 cats. Highly recommended!

Susan was so wonderful and attentive with my girls. I received communication every time she was at my home, which relieves so much stress while traveling. I’ve used pet sitters in the past who I didn’t feel like knew cats well or knew how to communicate or interact with them, and it’s the exact opposite with Susan.

What a relief! After years of family members (including children) being recruited to help care for my cats during vacations and such, I finally decided to hire a professional. As luck would have it I chose Susan. I DID NOT worry about a thing. She had great reviews and sent me updates daily.. beyond happy and relieved that I have someone I can count on to care for my fur babies when I travel. Super happy ! Thank you, thank you !!

Listen... Susan is the real deal! She is a cat lady through and through (in the best sense of the phrase!). She immediately built relationships with my cats on the first meet and greet. They seemed comfortable with her right away. She asked great questions showing that she was thinking about all the details (ie. where the cat carriers were in case of emergency). Each day that she came over, she sent videos and/or pictures of all the kitties. She was always punctual. She sent updates and asked questions as needed. One of my cats required oral medication. This was the main reason we hired a cat sitter rather than have a friend or family member just feed them while we were gone. Susan had no trouble giving the medication! It was such a relief and we could really enjoy our vacation knowing the kitties were expertly cared for. She even took pictures of all the water bowls and litter boxes on the last day so we could see how she left everything. The kitties seemed calm and happy while she was there. We really appreciate her kindness! She is really sweet and personable. 100% recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $40.00.
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.
