Learn More About Ally

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I recommend meeting the sitter before booking anything, and I also recommend giving very clear instructions for your pet(s). Meeting them allows you to feel their vibe and see them interact with your pet(s). It also allows for any questions to be asked on both ends to ensure no miscommunication.

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

I have handled many escape artists in my day, so I’m used to opening doors quickly and in a way that pushes the cat inwards; I can also bring a large object to help with this if a parent lets me know in advance. I always check with the parent if I see any open cabinets or drawers, windows, or areas where they may not want their pet to be. If there are any choking hazards or items that could harm the pet, I hide them and let the parent know what it was and where it went. I never feed pets anything other than what is provided by the parent. I refuse to go outside with any cats that are not indoor/outdoor, even on patios. Lastly, I account for every pet before leaving, quickly close the door, and triple check that it’s locked.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Timid and anxious cats are my specialty!! I believe no pet should be forced into interactions they are not happy to be a part of (except for their safety). I go at your pet’s pace, not the other way around. I will respect their boundaries and give them space, but I will always let them know I’m there. I will speak softly throughout the visit, even if they aren’t right next to me. I’ll sit in areas where they can approach safely but also leave at any moment. Building trust requires time and comfortability.

Ally is a kind, professional, reliable petsitter who cares for my two cats as if they were her own. She is knowledgeable in pet care, prompt with her communication, and does not hesitate to administer medication or clean when needed. She is my first choice in caring for my fur babies!

I can’t recommend Ally enough! She always takes great care of my cats while I’m away. Her visit reports are so detailed and I love hearing what my cats have been up to while I’ve been away. One of my cats is very shy, but even by the first visit Ally had him out and playing. She is clearly a cat lover. The peace of mind knowing I’m coming home to a spotless home and happy cats is worth it every time. Thank you Ally!

Frequently Asked Questions

Irvine cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
