We couldn't ask for more from Vanessa. she takes such great care of our kitties when we are out of town. She's amazing, responsive, sends honest updates. Again we are lucky to have her help!

We have two cats - one is extremely timid and shy. He hides when guests are around, and he has a difficult time readjusting if we go out of town. That is until Vanessa started coming to see him. Vanessa is great, communicative and most importantly great with our cats. We whole heartedly endorse Vanessa!!

Vanessa has watched my kitties a few times but even when a lot of time passes she remembers them and their little quirks. She goes above and beyond to check on them, even Harley, who hides from strangers… she will make sure to find her and take a picture of her as well as the others. Super quick to get back to me, friendly and trustworthy- I definitely recommend Vanessa to watch your fur babies anytime.

Vanessa is just great with our fur baby. He absolutely loves her and she really helps him with his separation anxiety he gets when we leave, by brushing him and playing with him. We know we have nothing to worry about and he just loves his sitter! We love the daily pictures and video’s she sends to keep us up to date. We will always recommend Vanessa, she is great!

I received late notice that I had to head out of town for something and Vanessa is a lifesaver. She was able to schedule a visit within hours on the same day and is one of few sitters I have found that can do 1 day prior new clients. THAT'S AMAZING! The questions she asked on arrival were ones I hadn't even thought of. "Do you have a carrier for earthquakes or a vet visit if anything happens?" Vanessa's prompt replies and scheduling to meet Desmo had me relaxed about the sitting before I even left town. Thank you so much!

I can’t sing ENOUGH praises about Vanessa… she is absolutely amazing on every level. My Kitty’s feeding routine is a bit extra - but Vanessa pays attention to every detail and goes above and beyond to make sure all is business as usual! She gives extra attention and snuggles to my kitty while I’m away; which gives me such peace of mind that he’s well cared for. THANK YOU VANESSA! 😸😻

Vanessa came in last minute when we had an emergency and just like before gave our cats excellent care. she followed their specific feeding guidelines and adjusted when needed. most importantly playing with them like they were her own and giving them the special attention they needed.

Vanessa was a DREAM to work with. We chose her for a recent vacation because our regular sitter was unavailable, and Vanessa made everything smooth and easy from start to finish. At our meet and greet she was attentive, asking questions to clarify what we needed and offering suggestions for things she could do to keep our boys extra happy. And during our time away, she was very communicative and sent the sweetest videos (and the most artistic, breathtaking photos of our cats lol)! Book her now and tip her well, she's a gem and your feline family member(s) will be very well taken care of. Thank you, Vanessa!

Vanessa was fantastic. I was a little hesitant as I have never used an app. for cat sitting before. Vanessa instantly clicked with my two cats. She was very professional and the pictures, videos and brief update on her daily visits put me at ease. I highly recommend Vanessa.

Vanessa was wonderful. We had previous sitters whose energy didn't really match with our kitties, but Vanessa's calming and caring spirit really made my kitties feel comfortable and cared for. It really helped me feel at ease knowing our kitties were in such good hands. Vanessa is a true gem!

I'm leaving another review for Vanessa, just to reiterate how fantastic a cat sitter she is! She made us feel 100% comfortable leaving our cats in her care during a long trip, and they were clearly very well taken care of. She's also amazing at sending the most adorable photos and videos, which were great to receive every day when we were missing our cats! We'll definitely be booking with her again!

I keep coming back to Vanessa because she is exceptional with her care for our two girls! I can see how much they love her in every video and picture she sends. This time around, Vanessa let us know that our fire alarm was chirping and with our instruction, handled it graciously for us. I know that whenever she’s watching the girls, I can relax. Thank you Vanessa!! You’re the best 😁

Venessa is an absolute angel. When I had to leave town suddenly for a family emergency she stepped in immediately and went out of her way to get the keys from a third party. When that trip was extended from 4 days to 15 days she rearranged her personal schedule to watch my kitties. They were sooo happy with her, I received daily texts, photos and video's and somehow my apartment seemed cleaner than when I left it. I can't say how grateful I am to her for putting my mind at ease during a difficult time. She's the best!

Vanessa was great! She took care of our two cats while we were off getting married and having her give us thorough updates made it so we didn’t have to worry about the girls during a busy week! She sent tons of pictures and videos with each visit, and even helped us by picking up our mail. Our kitten had also gotten pink eye a couple days before we left and Vanessa was great with administering her medication the whole week. We came home to a healthy kitty. I’m happy to know I have someone I can trust anytime we need to go out of town now!

Vanessa is an awesome sitter and I would give her more than five stars if I could. She is punctual and always came on her scheduled days. She took extra care with our extremely shy (former stray cat) and actually had Maui interacting with her during her visits, which she does not do with anyone else! I would definitely recommend Vanessa to you for your cat sitting needs.

Vanessa is hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever worked with! I loved the daily updates, and her care and attention to detail is exceptional. But most importantly, my cats loved her. One of my cats is very shy, but by day 2 she was sending me videos of him purring and getting pets! She is my go-to when I need a cat sitter, and I can’t recommend her enough!

We had a PERFECT experience with Vanessa! We were gone for a week over a holiday weekend, and she took exceptional care of our cat. Vanessa sent at least one video, multiple pictures, and a text message update after every visit. When we got home, everything was in great shape. Scheduling was very easy, and she came to our place to pick up and drop off the spare key. We would HIGHLY recommend Vanessa for your cat sitting needs, and will be using her if we take another long trip!

I'm not normally this worried or stressed about leaving my cat home for a few days but I have only had him since Covid and for the entire year and a half of his life, I have been with him every day. She absolutely put my mind at ease! She sent me a text the second she got to my place and gave me a daily report with pictures and videos. I am so, so grateful.

Vanessa is truly a cat whisperer and a life saver. I had to leave town with little notice, and being new in L.A., the biggest stressor was not knowing who would take care of my cats. Thankfully, I found Vanessa right away on the app. She was able to meet me and my cats the next day, then went above and beyond to accommodate my unknown schedule. She even came in on her days off, sent me photos & videos, and figured out that my cats don’t like seafood. Now that I’m back, my cats are wondering why their schedule is off and I think they miss Vanessa 🤷🏼♀️

Vanessa was great! She sent pictures each time she came over to let us know how our fur babies were doing and was great at communicating with us. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Vanessa was perfect! She did 3 separate visits for our cat Pancake, and each time she checked in with multiple photos and updates, making sure to play and engage with our kitty each time. She also took care of the extra stuff like litter box and collecting mail. Pancake was in great hands with Vanessa, I'll definitely be requesting her again!!

Vanessa exceeded all our expectations! She was very responsive and sent us pictures and videos of our cat when she was there. I could hear my cat purring as she pet him! She made us feel comfortable and at ease while we were away, knowing our cat was in good hands. Highly recommend booking Vanessa!

This was our first time using this service. Vanessa was fantastic. We have 4 feral cats in our yard. Vanessa sent us pictures and video every day. She was also kind enough to check out mail as well. She was prompt, and professional and willing to accommodate our requested feeding time which is very important with Ferels. I hope she is available for next vacation.

Vanessa was a wonderful cat sitter. She emailed me twice a day with news about my cats and what they were up to which made me feel really confident that they were happy and well cared for. She also takes fantastic cat pictures and videos, and I will treasure those forever. Everything was clean and tidy when I got home. She did a terrific job and I recommend her highly.

Vanessa is a wonderful cat sitter! Very attentive and caring. She sent photos of my cats each day I was gone, played with them, and showed them bird videos on YouTube. Your pets will be in great hands with Vanessa. My vacation was worry-free because of her efforts. Highly recommended!

After sitting for her fur babies I was happy to see Vanessa was also a sitter. She was great with my shy girl and very communicative!

Vanessa was amazing! From the first moment she met our fur baby, there was an instant connection. While we were away she sent us photos and videos everyday, took in our mail and even put flowers we received in water and a vase. Her communication was excellent! Will definitely use her again!

Vanessa went above and beyond with my scared little cats! When she hadn’t seen one of them, she reached out to ask about their favorite hiding spots and managed to track him down under the couch! Also, we chatted to change up their food plan for while I was gone. Will definitely be booking again!

Vanessa was incredible! This is the second time we have hired her and each time I am so thankful we made the decision to do so! I was nervous about how things would go with our shy cat, but Meow Bella loves Vanessa! 10/10!

Vanessa was truly awesome with our fur baby!! We had to leave for family Emergency for two weeks, which is long for kitty. Vanessa kept us up to date and everything was clean upon return and kitty was happy with her and even let her pet his belly and purred on the daily video sent. Very trustworthy and we will definitely call on her again. Highly recommended! Extremely happy with her services and so was our cat family!

Vanessa is simply amazing! I didn't want to let the secret out, but had to be fair to her and give her the stellar review she deserved. I'm always anxious about leaving my fur-baby , but Vanessa is so kind, sweet, and put together that I felt like I was leaving him with another family member. She's trustworthy and just wonderful.

Vanessa was wonderful! She went above and beyond to find out as much as she could about my kitties beforehand and really took her time to get to know and love them when she was here. From her detailed reports with lots of super cute pics it was clear that she was very committed to their happiness and tuned into their little quirks very quickly... I was thrilled to be able to leave my little ones in such good hands! I can whole heartedly recommend Vanessa and will certainly ask her to watch my kitties again. :)

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 $35.00. 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.
