I'm Susan
Cat Sitting in Valencia, CA
My name is Susan Edwards. I am a crazy cat lady from Santa Clarita CA, and I wear that title with honor and pride. Currently, I am 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 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. I am now happily back to pet sitting as my primary job. This time I am focusing on cats. 😺
My experience, largely gained through my work with the Heaven on Earth rescue, spans various types, ages, and personalities of cats. 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 shy and spicy kitties... Hello!

My experience, largely gained through my work with the Heaven on Earth rescue, spans various types, ages, and personalities of cats. 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 shy and spicy 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 with felines by understanding their individual moods and needs. You could say I am fluent in "Meow". I enjoy the challenge of coaxing the shy ones out of their shell, yet I also know when to give them space and respect their boundaries. I will ensure your cats receive pampering and top-notch care, all safely within the comfort of their own home.
In my leisure time I enjoy reading, writing, taking photographs(check out my gallery to see some of my favorite cat photos), cooking, listening to music, going to concerts, hiking, hula hooping, and dancing. I am in my late 40's and have no human children, only my four feline companions. The pandemic turned me into an avid bird watcher/critter observer. My friends started calling me Snow White when I befriended all the local wildlife. While cats hold a special place in my heart, I cherish and respect all creatures regardless of size. ❤️
In terms of Covid precautions, I am currently vaccinated and boosted. I am flexible and willing to adhere to any safety measures you prefer. My commitment to hygiene includes regular handwashing between jobs and carrying hand sanitizer at all times.
I am located in Valencia, CA serving most of the Santa Clarita Valley. If you are in my extended area (Castaic/Agua Dulce) services may be limited. I prefer a minimum 7 days notice to book, but feel free to message for last minute requests. If possible, I will try to accommodate you.
P.S. - Here at Meowtel we charge based on time alone. There is no extra "per cat" upcharge. However, it is recommended that if you have 3+ cats, you go with at least the 45-minute visit.
Learn More About Susan
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
Technically, I’ve been cat sitting for friends and family for decades, though I don’t necessarily count that as professional experience. My first official cat sitting jobs began in 2016 while I was volunteering with a cat rescue. By the summer of 2018, pet sitting had become my primary profession, and I considered myself a true professional in the field. In 2021, I began focusing exclusively on cats.
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 a surprise. Sir is my senior rescue boy. As of 2025 he is 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. They got comfortable in my home (and my heart) so now I have four cats. 🤷🏻♀️😹 It happens. Momma cat (Lucy) is fixed and living her best life indoors at my Mom's house. She sure picked the right backyard!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
For the best possible care, you want to hire a professional that is a true cat person. If you are reading this, you are already in the right place. Most pet sitters are dog focused. Cats are complex creatures and you want somebody that understands their individual moods and needs. Bonus points if your sitter is also privately insured and certified in Pet First-Aid/CPR. Make sure to meet the sitter first and pay close attention to how they interact with your cats. Trust your gut.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Prior to booking, I’m always happy to answer any questions via messenger. Once a reservation comes through, I reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet. During the visit, I ask the cat parents to walk me through their entire routine. Most clients choose to leave written or printed instructions, but if not, I take detailed notes myself. I always ask where the carriers are located (in case of emergency) and request local emergency contacts. I also reassure clients that I will send photos and updates during each visit. If a cat is shy, I give them space and wait to approach until the end of the visit. For the social cats, I introduce myself immediately.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
It starts the moment I open the door. I always enter cautiously to ensure a cat does not attempt to sneak out. For known door-dashers, I keep a large plastic barrier in my car to help safely block exits when needed. For the shy cats, I ask ahead of time where they may be hiding and make sure I get eyes on each and every cat during my visits. I closely monitor food and water intake, as well as litter box activity, while keeping a keen eye out for any sudden changes or unusual behavior. For clients who choose to keep a key on file with me, I store them securely in a lockbox at home when not currently in use. Due to the recent wildfires in California, I am discussing, updating, and implementing emergency plans tailored to each household. Preparation and clear communication are extremely important to me, especially during fire season.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I sure am! Having no human children (and family scattered all over the country) means zero pressure to celebrate holidays on the actual day. My Mom and I always celebrate a little bit before or just after the actual holiday.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love wand toys! They are a fantastic way to exercise cats while also providing mental stimulation. They also work especially well for shy cats since they allow a comfortable distance between the sitter and the cat. More often than not, a wand toy is the trick to luring a shy kitty out from their favorite hiding spot.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Each cat is unique. I never immediately try to pet a shy/timid cat. I gauge their level of anxiety and will reach out a hand to let them sniff. If they sniff it, we are moving forward. If they do not, they need more space and time. The key is patience and letting the cat decide. I will never force my energy onto a cat that is not ready to receive it. For the extremely anxious cats, I give them physical space but spend the visit in the same room talking to them. I don't tiptoe around. I simply act like my natural self. If you are tense and nervous, the cats will pick up on that.

Susan from Meowtel went above and beyond for us and our kitties, we cannot thank her enough!!! As always she provides excellent communication through text messages, pictures and videos- daily. This time unfortunately we were invaded by ants and they found the cat food bowls. Susan cleaned up the ants and prepared a moat in a casserole dish with the dry food bowl in the middle and with water surrounding the bowl so our cats can have clean dry food throughout the day. Susan was and is always very caring and thoughtful with our four cats. This visit our most shy girl, Cookie, let Susan pet her which is so wonderful to hear! Cookie is very cautious and doesn’t let just anyone touch her! I would highly recommend Susan to all my friends and family!!

Susan, was simply fantastic. The Hughes fire broke out while I was gone and she kept my mind and he is taking care of my cats while I was out of town on business. I can’t recommend her highly enough she’s conscientious and a great cat friend. She was able to get my shy cat out of her shell in a couple of days my previous cat sit it took weeks . I would definitely book her again and I can’t recommend her enough.

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. 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 free Meet & Greet!

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.

Thank you Julie for such a wonderful and detailed review. I appreciate you taking the time to write it. I had so much fun with Miss Pearl. She is a fantastic feline model. 😻 Looking forward to seeing her again.

Susan was fantastic! I was gone on a family vacation for 12 days, and Susan made sure my cats were safe and sound!! She notified me of some issues with the AirBNB that I have been staying at, which could have been a MAJOR safety issue for my cats with security issues with the door. I was able to notify the landlord and get the door fixed, thanks to Susan recognizing the issue. This was above and beyond care for my cats. Susan went above and beyond with fantastic communication and I am so glad that I booked with her and used Meowtel.
Response from Susan
Thank you Cassidy! I am so glad I was there at the right time to catch the door problem before it become a serious issue. 🙏 Your girls are beautiful and I hope to see them again. 😻😻

Susan truly went above & beyond in every way for not only my cats, but myself whilst I was away! I’m an extremely present and somewhat neurotic cat parent– but from the initial meet-and-greet, my heart was immediately set at ease by her warm, patient, and enthusiastic presence around my family and my cats. She accommodated all of their needs and temperaments, even braving the brisk winter air to snuggle and feed our outdoor cat as well as the inside ones. And she was even willing to do some smaller tasks like watering plants, feeding our backyard birds, and bringing in mail every day which was so much appreciated. Along with her incredible professionalism, she provided us with the deep comfort of knowing that our animals were being cared for by someone who truly cares. And that care was evident in every interaction we had with her, and every photo we received while away (she’s also a PHENOMENAL pet photographer, I’m even framing some of the casual ‘update’ shots she sent over!) I’ve put off traveling longer distances and durations for quite a while on account of some upsetting experiences we’ve had with previous cat sitters, but after meeting Susan, I’ll never be concerned about that again. Everything was not only in flawless condition, but perfectly clean and my cats seemed so happy, well fed, and well taken care of upon our return. I trust her implicitly with the safety of my home and dearest loved ones, and would recommend her services (and pet photos!) to anyone seeking that reassurance.

Susan is a life saver! This was our very first time using Meowtell, or a professional cat sitter for that matter - usually friends or family could help us out - but on this occasion, my husband and I would be leaving town for eight days and knew that we'd need more focused care this time. We have several cats, a couple with special dietary needs and in general, our setup is somewhat high maintenance. To make a very long and emotional story short - one of our kitties was sick and getting worse, and Susan's help and care was above & beyond and utterly invaluable. Obligations kept us away, but Susan kept us well informed and stocked with photos & videos, recommended remedies we could order online and she immediately administered them, and when matters came to a head, she arranged her personal schedule to take our sick kitty to the vet, which I am so incredibly grateful for. We couldn't have known when we initially hired Susan to kitty sit, but had we not had her help during this time, I shudder to think what could have happened to our little angel. She is through and through an animal lover and guardian, that I would trust with our babies any and every time. I cannot thank her enough for what she did for us! Thank you, Susan!

When you have a trustworthy sitter, it's hard when you lose them to a move across the country. You wonder if you will find someone that can be amazing as they were. Well, thankfully, we found Susan. I loved her updates, pictures and videos. I have a very anxious senior cat and Susan one her over right away. She was dependable and responsible and has good instincts. We will definitely use her again.

She sent us regular updates and photos, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing Ciri was in such good hands. When we came back, Ciri was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone as kind, responsible, and thoughtful as Susan. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet care!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my cats. She is obviously very experienced in dealing with cats and all of their widely varied personalities and quirks. One of my cats is extremely bonded with me and usually ignores everyone else. She’s the only person who has ever been able to get him to interact with her when I’m not there. When I’ve had other sitters he’ll spend the majority of his time in my bedroom, but she sent me pics and videos of him all over the house, looking totally relaxed, while she was there. It was such a relief to see him acting normally while I was gone. Susan will definitely be my “go-to” sitter in the future.
Response from Susan
Thank you Kerry for this wonderful review! Your boys were a pleasure to spend time with. I am happy I was able to bring the shy guy out of his shell. Looking forward to seeing them again! 😻😻

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!

It’s always a pleasure and peace of mind when working with Susan. Our boys adore her and so do we! She takes the BEST pictures and is phenomenal with updates. We will definitely be contacting her the next time we need a sitter.
Response from Susan
Awww I adore your boys as well! 😻😻 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. 🙏

I appreciated Susan’s updates on my kitties. She is definitely a cat whisperer! The pictures and videos demonstrated her care and joy for all felines. In addition, she followed my specific feeding instructions and made sure everything was the way I left it. Bonding with my furry babies was another goal Susan made sure she achieved. Thank you for taking good care of my spoiled but loving children.
Response from Susan
Thank you Julissa for taking the time to write this awesome review! My feline gang is spoiled as well. 😹 I loved hanging out with your beautiful girls and I look forward to your next booking.

Susan fixed the feeder again, and took videos and photos of our cats. It's so calming knowing that she will be there. She messaged me and when I didn't respond, she reached out via WhatsApp because I was out of the country. She wanted to be sure I got the updates. She is exceptional!

Susan is by far the best sitter I've ever used. She's professional, personable, and thorough. Right away I could tell my cat was not afraid of Susan, which was very reassuring to me. Susan asked all the right questions, took notes and sent timely updates with pictures. I'll definitely use this service again. Highly recommended.

one of our naughty kitties opened the lid to the automatic feeder. Susan noticed and sent pics. We decided to let them free feed until we came back home. if not for Susan we would’ve never known and it would’ve been a mess. Sure they were a bit chubbier when we came home. but in all fairness so were we! hahaha.
Response from Susan
Ha! I’m cracking up! Thank you Nima for always taking the time to write out a review. It is always a pleasure to hang with Lord B. and Lady M., even when they act naughty. 😹😹😹

My kitty is very shy and timid. Susan was fantastic at working with her, and also of improvising to make sure she was getting enough to eat.
Response from Susan
Thank you Nicole for the review! 🙏I appreciate you taking the time to write it and I would be happy to watch your shy girl again. 😻

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 always does a great job of taking care of my Bailey. Seeing videos of Bailey reassures me that everything is going well. I feel very comfortable with Susan watching my cat.

Susan was an amazing cat sitter. She was able to give medication and follow complicated feeding instructions. Both my older cats really liked her. Will use her again in the future.

Susan has been such a great sitter for our kitties! She spends time getting to know them and respecting their boundaries (we have one shy kitty) and gives regular updates + cute pics and videos. Highly recommend 🫶😻

Susan was wonderful. She kept me informed each time she went to my home and sent pictures and videos. She left the place clean. When I go away again, I will be using her.

Susan sent pictures, videos, and updates, all for just a single day that we booked her. She is so sweet, she even stayed a little longer than I had booked her. Oh, and the cats love her so much! I'm never hiring anyone else ever. 10/10

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!
Response from Susan
Thank you for the review Julie! Your kitties are wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. I can’t wait to see them again next month. 😻😻

Wonderful experience having Susan take care of our two kitties while we were out of town. She was so friendly and always sent updates and photos/videos letting us know how things were going each day :) 100% would use her again!
Response from Susan
Thank you Ruth for the lovely review! Your boys are the sweetest and I would be thrilled to sit for them again. 😻😻

We couldn’t be more pleased with how well Susan did with our boys! It was so nice to know they were in good hands and that we would receive pictures and updates daily. This was our first time having anyone other than family care for our cats, so needless to say, we were nervous. Susan knocked it out of the park and we will definitely be using her in the future. 10/10 recommend this meowsome sitter!
Response from Susan
Thank you for the review Lauren! I adored your boys and can’t wait to see them next time you need a kitty sitter. 😻😻

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 !!

Amazing as always. Susan is our favorite! She gives our cats treats, spends time, plays with them, and makes sure they are happy. She sends photos and videos, and lets me know when she's arriving and leaving. We are so lucky to have found her.

Susan was the absolute best. A blessing. Truly. She played with the cats, fed them, cleaned their litter, changed their water, and even watered the plants. Our cats loved her and we will use her forever and ever. So much peace of mind. Oh, and she sent pics and videos of our cats too! I couldn't be happier. 10/10 would recommend!

Susan is trustworthy and reliable. Her love for cats really shines through. She is exactly the person you want taking care of your cat. Each day she sends me pictures and videos and updates so I know my cat is ok. I am so grateful to have found her. It’s really hard leaving your little kitties behind, but a lot of cats are just miserable out of their homes. Having someone you can really trust come to your home and help is amazing. Susan is the person who has my trust.

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.
Amy

Susan is amazing. I don’t know what I’d do without her. I know I’m leaving my kitties in the very best hands possible. When I’m away she sends me updates during her visits with pics and videos so I know they’re thriving. It’s obvious how much she loves kitties! Susan is a true gem!!

Susan shared pictures and videos with us. She cleaned the litter boxes, topped off their water, checked their food, played with them, and was just great. This app has helped us with our peace of mind. Susan has helped us with not feeling like we are too far removed from the cats. It feels like a friend is watching your cats. That's what I've always wanted. Now, we never worry when I travel. 10/10 would recommend.
Phil
August 14, 2022
Our cats love Susan. There is no anxiety when she is there. She sent us updates, as well as videos showing how happy our cats when she is visiting. She is truly a " cat whisperer". We are so thankful we found her, and will continue to use her when we travel.
Phil

Susan is absolutely wonderful. We were concerned a bit, because one of our cats has " separation anxiety". Susan was received by our two kitties like a long lost friend, and they instantly warmed up to her. She sent us text updates, and even included videos showing the cats and how happy they were to be with her. We will continue to use Susan anytime we are gone, and have the peace of mind that our animals are safe and happy. I am so glad we found her. The rating is 5 star
Nima

As always, Susan goes above and beyond. She sends pictures and videos. She gives treats to the cats. She even brought in our mail. I've never felt safer while away. It's such a relief and blessing to have her. Can't wait to book her again.

Susan is loving and caring with my three cats and is consistent with her daily pictures and videos and communication. Knowing she was there twice a day for my fur babies, gave me peace of mind… We left for a long weekend, and it would not be possible without Meowtel and Susan’s help! We are so fortunate and lucky to have found Susan! I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family!!

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!!! 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

Susan is the best. She loves our cats, and they love her. She even sends videos when she gets to our home. You can tell by the body language how much they love her. Our one cat had a separation anxiety issue when we were gone, but no longer. We can leave in confidence, knowing they are in such good hands. Meowtel is lucky to have such a wonderful caretaker.

Susan, as always if wonderful. She is very caring toward our Cats, and they love her. We had some emergency repair work going on, which made it stressful for her and the Cats, but she took care of business. She is constantly sending us video updates, and you can see by their body language that our Cats love being with her. I am so glad we found her.
