I'm Irene | Cat Sitting in Elk Grove, CA
Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Irene, and I’m a registered veterinary technician turned stay-at-home mom. I have two rescue cats who were found as kittens on the streets, and they’ve completely stolen my heart. Sully, our 2-year-old Flame Point Siamese, is our brave little explorer—he loves meeting new people, snuggling, and even going on walks. Mikey, on the other hand, is our "ghost cat"—if there are strangers around, you won’t see him! He’s incredibly playful and silly with us but prefers to keep his distance from unfamiliar humans, and that’s perfectly okay. 🥰 I understand that every cat is unique, with personalities as varied as the colors of a rainbow 🌈. With over 10 years in the veterinary field—including experience in shelters and a zoo—I have developed a deep understanding of feline behavior. I earned my bachelor’s degree in zoology before becoming...

Irene's Reviews
Kendall
Irene was an excellent cat sitter! This is the second time we have worked together. The first time was for the week of my wedding/honeymoon and was the first time I ever left my cats with someone that wasn’t family. As luck would have it my beloved cat, Olive got sick right before my wedding and needed medication/extra monitoring. If it wasn’t for Irene, I would have had to cancel my wedding events and my honeymoon. Irene provided such diligent care and compassion for my sweet girl. I felt a huge sense of peace knowing that she was there for my kitties. She always goes above and beyond in caring for our two cats, ensuring they received their daily medication without any issue. My shy boy cat warmed right up to her, which is so rare for him! Her communication is always top-notch; we received daily updates filled with videos and pictures that put our minds at ease while we were away. It's clear she has a genuine love for animals, and her attentive care reflected that. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We love Irene and appreciate her so much!

Irene was an amazing cat sitter! She was extremely thorough in all the duties and detailed in her updates. I could tell she really cared about my cat - her updates made me feel a lot better leaving her for my trip. She was able to befriend my extremely shy and skittish kitty, and by the end of the time, she was out and about and not hiding! Would highly recommend.

Irene was an amazing sitter!! My two kitties can be shy to warm up and I have an especially shy kitty that likes to hide and they both immediately warmed up to Irene! She sent great updates and pics everyday. I know my kitties were well taken care of :)

Irene was an amazing sitter. My cat had some challenging medication requirements, and she stayed on top of everything, even making an emergency trip to the vet to refill his prescription. if highly recommend her!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee
We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Elk Grove cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
