Learn More About Zaira
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have grown up with animals my entire life and I’ve been professionally cat sitting for over 3 years now!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Getting to meet all kinds of sweet kitties and give them and their owners piece of mind that their routine will be followed! (: So everyone’s happy.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Coconut is my almost 4 year old Tortie Cat and Figgy is our newest member of the family, a now 5 month old Tuxedo Kitten! They’re the funniest pair.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, never be afraid to reach out and ask (:
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
With kitties who are particularly timid or anxious, it’s important to create a quiet and friendly environment! I give them time to get comfortable with having a new person in their environment, sticking to their every day feeding and treat routines is essential. Making the visit as close to their every day life as possible. All my timid or anxious kitties I’ve worked with aren’t usually timid or anxious for long and come out to play pretty quickly.

If you are reading this review, you have checked out the right person to care for your cats! Zaira was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our furbabies while we were away. We received daily updates and pictures. She even left a sweet gift for the kitties. ❤️ We will absolutely book Zaira again should we need someone to care for the kitties while we are away. I was very nervous about leaving the cats while we were away, since they have never been left alone for an extended period of time. Zaira quickly put us at ease with the photos and updates. So don’t wait any longer to find a trustworthy and caring sitter, Zaira is it!

Zaira did an excellent job ensuring our very social cat had a loving friend while we were away. She provided photos and updates following each visit and was happy to collect our mail when we noticed our "stop mail" didn't happen. When she noticed we had plants she offered to ensure our watering globes were filled (much appreciated as the weather turned quite warm, so refills were needed). Since our usual "family" sitters were unavailable, this was a first for using Meowtel and Zaira and we couldn't have been more pleased with both. We highly recommend Zaira as a loving and trusted cat sitter. Thank you Zaira! 😻

Zaira was fantastic. She was always quick to respond to messages, and went the extra mile to make sure my cowardly cat was taken care of. I highly recommend her to watch your cat.

Zaira was perfect for checking on our kitty, who is especially shy and high maintenance. Surprisingly, he warmed up to her quickly. Zaira gave us thorough and sweet updates, pictures, and videos, and I am so grateful to have found a great cat sitter for our Beau. I highly recommend Zaira!

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.
Brea cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $35.00. 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!
