I'm Olu
Cat Sitting in Wilmington, CA
As a nursing student, I’m also experienced in caring for cats with special health needs or requiring extra accommodations. I’m confident in administering medications—whether it’s pills, injections, or topical treatments—and paying close attention to their unique care routines. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your kitty’s health, and I’m dedicated to ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for every step of the way.
Your fur baby’s comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. While you enjoy your trip, I’ll make your kitty’s experience purr-fection! ✨
Learn More About Olu
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 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.

Olu was extremely professional, communicative, and tender with my high alert kitty! He get's stressed about new people, and with a last minute work trip I was extremely stressed. Needless to say, the whole experience was smooth for us both-my cat loved her! She was able to peacefully give him his medication each day, and I could tell from the photos that he really began warming up to her. I will be booking Olu from now on, for the peace of mind!

Olu is the best cat sitter I have ever used. She handled every unforeseen issue (building access, broken elevator) beautifully, kept my cats comfortable, and even watered my plants. I am actually looking forward to my next trip.

Highly recommend! We have 2 elderly cats, 1 requiring medication. Olu was the perfect person for the job - caring and communicative. She really went beyond what was expected to make sure the cats were well taken care of!

Wilmington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!

Olu was fantastic. I would absolutely use her again. My cat cannot handle the stress of the Kennel, so this was my first time trying a catsitter. Olu made it extremely easy and stress free. my cat is very shy and while Olu never actually saw her, she reported back on her eating habits and litter box! Everything was great and much appreciated!!

Olu did a fantastic job with our two cats. Our old boy requires a few different medications on different days, which was taken care of perfectly. Our young lady is super shy, but she got her coming out and playing every day she was there. Updates we're prompt and thorough and we got a ton of pictures of some very happy cats.

Olu went ABOVE AND BEYOND for my five cat babies. She took the time to get to know each one and spend time with them. she kept me updated throughout the whole process and was always prompt. Food, water, litter— everything was taken care of. I felt so safe and secure knowing she was going to be there! don’t hesitate on booking with her!

Olu is a phenomenal cat sitter and I highly recommend her. My cat gets agitated when I'm away and I used to worry about leaving her alone. Now that I found Olu, I don't worry at all and I'm able to enjoy my trips without stressing about my cat back home. Olu is patient, kind, and caring. She is trustworthy, responsible, and responds promptly to any requests that I have.

Olu has a very nurturing and loving approach towards animals. It’s very endearing and sweet to witness. When she has cats who are more reserved or not as friendly she still treats them with kindness and affection. Even if she is being hissed at she will let them know it’s not okay to hiss and that she is a safe person for them to be around because it’s likely they are doing it out of fear.
