My homes and life have always included cats and they have always been considered part of the family. I currently have 3 (Calamity 10 years, Scrimshaw 5years, and Pakhet 2 years.) of my own and I regularly cat sit for several of my friends. In the past (when I had more space) I also fostered & transported with various rescue organizations, I spent 2 years working front office and kennel assistant in a small veterinary office, and many years ago my father and I volunteered when building (literally, the physical building) of Good Mews, the first no-kill cat shelter in Atlanta.

I am a working actor and personal assistant living in the Van Nuys/Sherman Oaks SFV area so I have a varied schedule and I would love to supplement my time and income helping to care for your feline family members when you have to be away. Your peace of mind is as important to me as their happiness and safety so you can count on me to follow guidance, communicate and check-in, and give the best cuddles and care.

Learn More About Kitten

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I really just like hanging out with your cats. Sure, I like the flexibility of setting my own schedule, but more importantly than that I love getting to know your cats. I love seeing their personalities and their quirks. I love being able to cuddle with them and make them feel at ease. I also really enjoy telling you about our visits and sending pictures and videos so maybe you won't miss them quite as much while you're away.

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

Please fill out profile for you and your cat (s) completely including the veterinary release form. Having all the information easily accessible is very helpful. And, if your preferred cat sitter is not available, it will save you time ensuring any other sitters have the complete information.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available for most holidays. Halloween is generally the only one where I might have to close my calendar due to my primary job.

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

Everything is on their terms. I make sure they have their space so they feel safe and in control. I will often set my shoes in an open area for them to explore. Our shoes tell cats so much about us. Then I will often tuck myself back by the door and read or chat to them quietly. This lets them grow accustomed to my presence. They can approach at their own pace. Also, treats. I am never above bribing them with treats. :-)

This week

Kitten is an amazing cat sitter. She was sure to ask questions beforehand to make sure she had all the info she needed to care for our aging cat. She cleaned up when he missed the litter box, she adjusted the thermostat when it got too hot, she brought in the mail and packages that arrived, and she posted notifications and photos for us each day we were gone. Next time we go on vacation, we will definitely be asking Kitten to come again!

Kitten was reliable and attended to all my two kitties needs. She sent daily updates and my cats, who can be shy, came out of hiding and loved her. ❤️🐱

We were nervous about leaving our two kitties for a week, but Kitten made it as painless as it could possibly be. We got daily detailed reports and pictures, and she was sensitive and adaptive to their needs. Even in the torrential rain, Kitten was there for our babies.

Kitten made us feel comfortable from the very first moment of her meet and greet. She’s kind, funny, and knows how to make cats feel seen and heard. We were out of town for a week and felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of our cats. She’s a great communicator and sent a lot of fun pics and videos. We will definitely have her back when we travel again!

Kitten did a fantastic job taking care of my cat, even when the smoke detector had spooked my cat into hiding in the litter box!

This was the first time that I’ve used a business to hire a cat sitter. Stating that I was nervous would be an understatement; like most cat owners I am completely obsessed with my cats. After reading through Kitten’s reviews and information I knew that she would be a good choice as a sitter. After meeting her and showing her around my house my nervousness started to cease. My cats quickly became comfortable with being cared for by Kitten and I believe that this is due to her being patient with their different personalities and that she not only has a lot of experience with cats, but that she truly loves both cats and caring for other cats as if they were her own. I appreciated the updates, pictures, and videos so much, they helped to make me feel a little less sad without them. Thank you for your patience with me too 🙂

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Van Nuys cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a 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 Meet & Greet!
