Learn More About Lia

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

I’ve cared for many cats over the years, and more frequently over the last 5-6 years, starting with assisting neighbors and friends with their animals during COVID.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new kitties and learning the unique personality traits and dynamics that each cat brings, and giving cat parents peace of mind that their babies are safe and loved.

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

Upon entering the space, I hold a calm energy and gently make my presence known with a soft voice. I ensure the cats’ needs like food, water, clean litter, and safe living space are met, and otherwise allow shy kitties the time and space to “feel out” the situation. I allow the cats to approach me if and when they feel ready or curious, then may apply any techniques instructed by the cat parent, such as using the cats favorite toy or blanket, to help build familiarity and comfort.

A lifelong cat lover, Julia has a knack for winning over even the shyest or most temperamental kitties :) She treats every animal with the depth and attentiveness as if they were a small child, and her selfless joy from the process is self evident.

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 $34.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
