I'm Olu | Cat Sitting in Wilmington, CA

Meow there! My name is Olu and I’m a lifelong cat lover with over 15 years of pet sitting experience, dedicated to giving your kitty the luxury care they deserve. I specialize in creating calm, cozy environments where cats feel safe, relaxed, and totally pampered. Whether your feline prefers playful moments, quiet companionship, or just lounging in style, I tailor each visit to their unique personality.

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

My goal is to make both kitties and their humans feel 100% comfortable! For first-time and long-time-no-see clients, I offer a complimentary meet & greet so you can show me around, go over their routine, and point out favorite hiding spots, toys, and treats. I also ask pet parents to write out, type out and print, or text me clear care instructions, so I can follow your kitty’s exact routine. And of course, I’ll send plenty of updates and adorable photos while you’re away!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! As an LA native, most of my family is here, so I’m usually in town for the holidays. This means I’m available to care for your kitty while you’re away, ensuring they get all the comfort, love, and extra holiday TLC they deserve!

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

I approach timid or anxious cats with lots of patience, gentleness, and respect for their boundaries. I let them set the pace, giving them space to observe me from a distance and approach when they feel ready. I use calm tones, slow movements, and avoid direct eye contact, which can feel intimidating. Slow blinks, soft-spoken words, and treats help build trust over time. I’m also mindful of their environment—keeping things quiet and cozy to reduce stress. If they prefer hiding, I’ll make sure they have safe spots and check on them without pushing interaction. My goal is always to create a calm, comforting space so even the shyest kitties feel secure. Plus, I keep pet parents updated with honest, thoughtful notes on how their kitty is doing!

Olu was so kind and efficient! She followed instructions and my normally shy cats warmed up to her so quickly. 🥹💖 I was so happy with how comfortable they were with her. She sent great updates with lots of photos. Thanks so much Olu!

Olu was amazing from the moment we met her at the introduction session to her last visit with Luna! She was able to pick up on what Luna needed immediately and adjust her care to match it. Some context, I got my cat during Covid and I work from home, so she is used to just me and nervous and standoffish towards most people. But when Olu met my Luna, she came in calm and got on the floor to approach her with gentleness and a treat I gave her. She was attentive to me and Luna, followed all directions, was kind, and shared her approach to cat care. I could tell from the first meeting that she enjoyed cats and learning about them to care for them better. Each visit she let me know when she got to my home, sent several pictures, shared details on her visit, and texted before heading out. One of the days my Luna didn’t want her to touch her food so she swatted at Olu. Olu let me know and said, I’m not discouraged or scared. I’ll try something different since she doesn’t want me to do that. The next day Olu tried a different approach and Luna was responsive and rubbing at her and playing with her on the visit. She really knows cats and is really patient with them. She even made some observations on Luna and recommendations to make the space more comfortable for Luna when I’m gone that I will be incorporating. I had so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in good hands! I will be booking with Olu again and for all future trips.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wilmington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
