Learn More About Susan

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love being able to put cat parents at ease knowing their cats are in good hands while they are away from home. I also love helping cats feel safe while there is a change in their routine. Cats are sensitive to change, and most like routine, so I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I adopted 2 kittens (Ariel and A-Rod) in 2004, shortly after my mom died. They were bonded and the shelter didn't want to separate them (they were the last of their litter). I actually hadn't planned on adopting a cat but I went with my sister after work one day. I kept being drawn to them and felt it was my mom's way of telling me I should adopt them. A few years later, 2 more cats were rehomed to me (first Rora, then Jetty) and I had my core 4 for almost a decade.

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

I like to meet with a new cat parent in their home so they can give me an overview of what they do (when and what the cat typically eats, are they allowed treats) as well as anything that's going on (do they try to get out the door, are they hard to find in the house, if more than 1 cat is present, are there any issues between the cats). I also like to know how often they want updates (or do they only want to hear from me if there's a problem).

Susan is incredibly responsible and cares deeply for every cat she’s met. She had a natural affinity for them and they respond very well to her presence, making what is normally a very trying time much more pleasant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ventura cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
