This is our first time leaving our kitties with someone they didn't already know. It couldn't have gone better. By the end of our trip, our braver kitty was meeting her at the door and taking hand-fed treats, and our coward was accepting pats.

Joella was very responsive from the beginning. I had a last minute trip arise and was only able to provide a two day notice. She got back to me right away, and squeezed me in to her already booked weekend schedule, which was so kind of her. She took great care of my two cats, and sent me updates/photos with each visit. I highly recommend Joella!

What peace of mind with Joella taking care! I returned home to two happy cats after detailed daily updates from Joella about the food, the litter, and the cats’ behavior.

I adore Joella! I had to leave the state last minute, and she was able to tend to my sweet void boy while I've been away and it gave me so much comfort. She went above and beyond, and was super communicative.

Joella was a wonderful cat-sitter! I had never taken a vacation away from Mochi before - but from the first meet and greet, I knew she would be in great hands. Joella sent detailed updates with every visit, along with many cute pictures of their interactions, leaving no questions unanswered. She was punctual and very quick to respond to my messages. I could see how comfortable my typically-shy Mochi was in her care - which kept me at ease too. I would highly recommend Joella!

I am so happy to have found Joella on Meowtel!! I immediately felt comfortable with her at our meet and greet and she was so sweet with my baby Sam. She sent very thorough updates along with pictures and I could tell Sammy felt very safe and comfortable with her. When the time comes for me to head out of town again, I will definitely seek out Joella first! A+++++😻

Joella was absolutely amazing as our cat sitter! They went above and beyond, sending me regular updates with pictures of our cats, which gave me so much peace of mind since this was my first time having a cat sitter. Joella spent time playing with them, ensuring they were comfortable, fed, and happy. I could tell my cats loved Joella right away. On top of that, they even washed and put away the dishes. Joella followed all of my instructions perfectly and was incredibly flexible when we needed to add an extra day last minute during the holidays. They are truly trustworthy and caring. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Joella went above and beyond to care for my medically fragile kitty! Joella took detailed notes at the meet and greet and administered the medications wonderfully. They took Poppy’s blood sugar which was helpful for me to know how she was doing. I received many text updates and photos. Joella went above and beyond cleaning up kitty messes and ensured I was aware. Would recommend!

Joella is highly recommended! She was a prompt communicator and provided updates and photos at every visit. She went above and beyond and even helped out with some small tasks in the house. She clearly has a passion for cats and our cat immediately felt comfortable with her.

Joella is an incredibly experienced cat sitter, and has experience taking care of cats of all ages and backgrounds. They helped me adopt my first kitten about a year ago, and have been an excellent help in getting me adjusted to the cat-owner life!

Joella has worked with many cats & has been so sweet and helpful with every one of them. They even helped me with my own cat when I adopted her as a kitten!! If they lived near me now & I needed a cat sitter they’d be the first person I call

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 $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.
