I'm Bones

Cat Sitting in Costa Mesa, CA

Hi! My name is Bones! :) I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud feline fanatic. Babysitting cats isn’t just a job for me, it’s pure joy. Back when I had a job that had me walking through different neighborhood every day, there was always one highlight to my day: a sweet neighborhood cat who greeted me like clockwork. Every cat, we always had daily cuddle sessions, and honestly, it was the best part of my routine! I’ve had cats my whole life and currently have four furry roommates, each with... Hi! My name is Bones! :) I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud feline fanatic. Babysitting cats isn’t just a job for me, it’s pure joy. Back when I had a job that had me walking through different neighborhood every day, there was always one highlight to my day: a sweet neighborhood cat who greeted me like clockwork. Every cat, we always had daily cuddle sessions, and honestly, it was the best part of my routine! I’ve had cats my whole life and currently have four furry roommates, each with their own quirky personality! From the snuggler to the mischief-maker, I’ve grown fond of every one of them. I truly understand and love the unique charm each cat brings, caring for them is second nature to me! I’ve had dogs before (and they’re great!), but nothing beats the feeling of coming home to a cat curled up, purring away like a tiny motor of love. I adore their personalities: sassy, snuggly, mysterious, and hilarious all at once. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or snack time, I’m here to make sure your kitty feels loved and safe while you’re away. Every cat is unique, and I’m all about giving them the personalized care and attention they deserve. Let’s make your cat’s day purr-fect!

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 did a great job taking care of my cats once again! It's only their second time seeing her but they're already warming up to her and enjoying her company. My feeding instructions are pretty complicated but she always makes sure they're fed correctly and ensures they don't eat each other's food. She kept them company afterwards and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Bones always does an amazing job and I would recommend her for any cat sitting needs!

Bones was great with our cat! He warmed up to her immediately following our departure and he ran to greet her at the door everyday. She played with him and gave him lots of love and pets while we gone along with making sure he always had food and plenty of water. she shared photos with us and let us know when he was a bit mischievous and got into the q-tips which she cleaned up and disposed of. We would definitely invite Bones back to watch our furry family member on our next trip. We highly recommend.

Bones did such a great job looking after my cats and gave me absolute peace of mind while I was away! We did an initial meet and greet session where I was able to go over each cat's individual needs and quirks. Her experience with cats was immediate obvious as she was incredibly patient with my two boys, and they quickly warmed up to her. On the day where I wasn't home, Bones came by, followed my ridiculously long feeding instructions, and gave my cats attention and enrichment. I was able to enjoy my time away without having to worry if my cats were bored or lonely. Bones is also just a nice person who is very easy to talk to, and I will definitely be looking to have her back for future visits. If you're lucky enough to be nearby, don't hesitate to have Bones look after your cats! You will not regret it ☺️

If you have any reservations or experience anxiety when leaving your pets home alone, Bones is the answer. I would have been happy with her feeding them while they hide each day, but instead I was sent a video of them crawling on her and purring like they were on vacation too. When it comes to caring for animals and winning their hearts over, Bones has a little something called “it”. We can’t wait to book another reservation with her!

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.

Costa Mesa 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 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 Meet & Greet!
