Learn More About Bones

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I’ve had cats my whole life, and they’ve taught me so much, especially my childhood cat, who had kidney issues and needed special care. I’m comfortable handling medical needs and giving cats the attention they deserve. Right now, I have four unique kitties: Hennessy, the cuddle queen who makes you work for her love; Bear, her sister, who only accepts affection on her terms; Joker, my adventurous boy and best buddy who loves the outdoors; and Harley, his timid but fierce sister who’s also an explorer at heart. Every cat is different, and I truly love learning and caring for them all.

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

I know how important your cat is. They’re not just a pet, they’re family. That’s why I love getting to know every cat’s unique personality, quirks, and preferences. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent, I want to make sure they feel comfortable and safe in my care. I always ask about your daily routine so I can stick as closely to it as possible: mealtimes, playtime, nap spots, and even the little habits that make your cat feel secure. Keeping your cat’s world familiar and stress-free while you’re away is my top priority, because their happiness matters!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Your cat’s safety is extremely important. When caring for cats in their own home, I make sure all doors and windows are securely closed, keep harmful items like cords, plants, or small objects out of reach, and ensure their environment stays calm and familiar. I double-check litter boxes, food and water bowls, and any favorite hiding spots to make sure your kitty is comfortable and secure. I’m also careful with any routines or rules you set, like keeping them indoors or away from certain rooms. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, relaxed, and totally at home while you are away.

Bones is truly an amazing cat caretaker and an all-around wonderful person. Her goth alternative style adds a fun, unique flair that perfectly matches her warm, compassionate nature. She has a deep love for animals that shines through in everything she does. What really sets Bones apart is how attentive and understanding she is, not just with cats, but with people too. She listens carefully, respects boundaries, and approaches every situation with empathy and kindness. Whether it’s the quirkiest cat behavior or a tricky life challenge, Bones is always there with patience and genuine care. Her ability to connect with cats on their terms shows how much heart she puts into her caregiving. She’s thoughtful, mindful, and never rushes, giving every kitty the love and attention they deserve. Beyond being an exceptional sitter, Bones is just a fantastic person to know: fun, reliable, and wonderfully authentic. Anyone lucky enough to have her in their life or care for their pets is truly touched. Bones isn’t just a cat caretaker, she’s a bright light of kindness and understanding.

If I ever need a cat sitter again, I would hire Bones without hesitation. She is, without a doubt, the most thoughtful, mindful, caring, and compassionate person I’ve ever seen when it comes to animals. Watching her interact with my cat Damion showed me just how deeply she cares, not just about feeding and basic care, but about truly understanding and responding to a cat’s emotional needs. Bones has an incredible ability to tune into a cat’s feelings and behavior, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even in unfamiliar situations. She’s patient and gentle, always going the extra mile to offer affection and attention on the cat’s terms. Her presence instantly brings calm and reassurance, which is priceless when your furry friend is anxious or unsettled. I have complete trust in Bones because I’ve seen firsthand how attentive and loving she is. She treats every cat as if they were her own, with kindness and respect. For any future cat babysitting needs, I wouldn’t think twice, Bones is the absolute best, and my cats are lucky to have someone so wonderful caring for them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Costa Mesa cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
