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 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.

Katie is a cat owner's dream as a cat-sitter. She will not only dot on your cats, but just as important, she will show respect for your home and property. Katie is smart and intuitive. She's always problem solving without needing her hand held. She has cats of her own and took care of our cats for many years. I have seen Katie interact with cats countless times. She is always smitten with them and eager to care for cats like they are her own.

Frequently Asked Questions

West Hills cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
