About Martha V.

My name is Martha and I have been a cat lover all my life. Unfortunately, I wasn’t ever able to have a cat growing up because my dad was allergic. I adopted my first kitty, Peaches, in September 2017. My friend fostered her and her siblings and I fell in love. She has changed both mine and my husband’s lives. She is truly our daughter and love her to pieces. We added two kittens (Ebony and Pepper) to our family. They were rescued from a storm drain in November 2022 along with their brother who my friend adopted. We think they were about 7 weeks old. Unfortunately we just lost Pepper (Aug 2025) but we welcomed a new kitten named Pixie. I have been cat sitting for 6 years, prior to that I pet-sat for my same friend who fostered Peaches. She has 2 Golden Retrievers and a kitty. I have stayed in their house and brought Peaches along to sit for their pets when they have been away. I have also volunteered at the NKLA adoption center in West LA and currently volunteer at the SPCALA South Bay Adoption Center. I love kitties and would love yours as my own. All visits include feedings, water refills, litter box clean up, play time and plenty of scritches if your kitties will allow me to. I will also bring in your mail and any packages left at your door. I look forward to caring for your kitties in whatever they need be it just making sure they have enough food and water and a clean litter box to full-on play sessions. I will keep you updated during each visit by letting you know how your kitties are doing and will send pictures and videos. If I see anything out of the ordinary I will let you know right away.  

What Clients Say About Martha V.

"This was our first time having Martha watch our kitties and it went amazingly! My skittish former street cats warmed up to her quickly and they settled into a nice routine with her here (I can tell because the are begging me for treats at the time she usually stopped by). It definitely helped me relax on vacation to know they were in expert hands. Looking forward to having her back!"

"Martha has cared for my cats several times already and both they and I love her! I feel confident that while I am away they will safe and well looked after. And even with a lapse in time of having her come over, my kitty kids still remember her. One of kitties likes to hide, but not when she comes over. He comes to her to be pet. Highly recommend and will be requesting her assistance again in the future."

"Martha has been our cat sitter for awhile now, and she is wonderful. we have two older cats, and one has medications that change sometimes. she has always been so helpful and calming while helping with our cats while we are away. she always sends photos, she arrives on time if our cat has medication he has to have at a specific time. She is tidy and so sweet to our fur babies.  I highly recommend anyone who needs a cat sitter to use Martha."
