My name is Kayla but my entire family calls me Kiki! I am a 32yr old cookie cutter manufacturer in Van Nuys, CA who is very passionate about my feline friends! A quick bit of cat history on myself, when I was 8 years old my parents got my siblings and I our first cat and dog. I immediately became a cat girl and still to this day my mom buys me anything leopard print. My great-grandmother loved cats and opened her home in Chicago to hundreds of them. She fed them all and gave them a warm place to retreat to during the bitter cold winters. After falling ill, my great-grandmother began living with us and unfortunately the city was g...

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Always read reviews! On Meowtel, the only way someone can leave a review is if a customer makes a reservation and then that reservation is completed by the sitter. So, the reviews are honest and can provide great insight into the reputation of the cat sitter. I also would say to hire a cat sitter who either currently owns or has had cats at some point in time because, wellโ€ฆ they just get it! ๐Ÿ˜น

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Once a booking is confirmed, I will reach out to schedule a Meet and Greet with you where I will stop by your residence and discuss all care details, exchange keys (if applicable) and of course so I can meet yourself and the cat(s)! During that time, I can also answer any questions or concerns you may have. If a booking is last minute or if you just prefer to do things virtually, that is no problem at all! We can conduct a Meet and Greet via Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp or FaceTime. ๐Ÿ‘

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Shy kitties will open up to you when they are ready. I like to build trust by offereing treats and playing with them and that usually does the trick!

This was my first time using a cat sitter and Iโ€™m SO happy I found Kayla. She was super responsive, friendly and professional. She sent me constant photos, videos and updates about her time w my kitty and it was very apparent my cat was happy and well taken care of. If you are nervous about finding someone who really loves and cares about cats, do yourself a favor and book Kayla. You will not be disappointed!

Kayla was communicative and professional. She sent lots of photos of our kitty and gave great attention to all the details. We do appreciate that she put our minds at ease while we were away. Thanks, Kayla!

Frequently Asked Questions

Van Nuys cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $39.00. 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.
