Cat Sitting in West Hills, CA

I’m Katie, based in West Hills. I am available weekdays after 5pm and most weekends all day. Since I was 7 I have fostered cats, from newborns to seniors, and volunteered at a cat rescue center. I currently have 3 cats that I care for on my own. A spunky 10 year old boy and a cuddly 4 year old girl, both of which I’ve had since they were under a year old, and a loving 11 year old girl I’ve had for just over one year with medical complications.

Since I was 7 I have fostered cats, from newborns to seniors, and volunteered at a cat rescue center. I currently have 3 cats that I care for on my own. A spunky 10 year old boy and a cuddly 4 year old girl, both of which I’ve had since they were under a year old, and a loving 11 year old girl I’ve had for just over one year with medical complications. I am experienced in bottle feeding and administering nearly all kinds of medications. I’m not afraid of any kind of cat temperament as I believe all cats are willing to love when given the correct kind of attention that suits their needs. I have always had a strong adoration for cats and caring for them. I will give your cats the love and attention they need while ensuring they are safe and healthy under my care. I look forward to meeting your furry babies!

Learn More About Katie

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three cats of my own. A small 10 year old boy cat named Charlie that loves attention but hates being held. Zoe is a very large 4 year old girl cat that is very attached to me. She absolutely loves cuddling and waits by the door for me to come home. Minnie is my most recent rescue, an 11 year old girl cat that requires a lot of medical attention. She has a large bald spot on her back from her time before me, and several environmental allergies which require weekly injections. I have given her nearly every type of medication there is.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Having grown up with cats, I am hyper aware of things that might be a danger to them. If a door opens I make sure they didn’t escape or if a room is closed I make sure they’re not stuck inside. I know what common household items (like flowers or checmicals) may be bad for them and I know what to avoid.

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

Hey sometimes I am too. Patience is key. If they want nothing to do with me then I will sit in a neutral area until they’re comfortable coexisting with me. If they like treats then I’ll bribe them with treats. If they’re hiding under the bed I may try to lay down next to them and comfort them when they’re scared. It entirely depends on the cats personality, but I will do my best to learn what makes them comfortable and adapt.

Katie was great! My cats loved her, and even my most shy cat was open to sitting with her. Plus, there was a leak at my place and she took the initiative to find a solution which I really appreciated. I will definitely book her again!

Katie was a wonderful sitter. She was prompt with her communication and responses, on time during the visits, and we felt comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We will definitely inquire about her availability the next time our Cat needs a sitter. Highly recommend to those seeking a sitter.

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.

West Hills cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $36.00. 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!
