Learn More About Kim

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I share my home with three wonderful boys: Crooks, my wise 14-year-old gentleman who rules the house with quiet dignity; Milkshake, a 1-year-old social butterfly who’s never met a stranger; and Axe, his shy but incredibly sweet littermate who melts hearts once he warms up. Living with such a range of feline personalities has taught me how to connect with all kinds of cats—from the bold and curious to the cautious and tender-hearted.

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

When working with a new cat parent, I start by listening carefully to their needs and preferences. I ask about their cat’s personality, routines, medical history, and any quirks or comforts that help their kitty feel safe. I believe in clear, consistent communication—before, during, and after each visit—so pet parents feel confident and informed. I provide updates with photos and notes, and I’m always happy to adjust my care to match the cat’s unique style. My goal is to build trust not just with the cat, but with their human too, creating a smooth and reassuring experience for everyone.

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

Safety and security are top priorities during every cat sitting visit. I always double-check that doors, windows, and gates are secure before leaving. I follow the cat parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any household rules. I’m mindful of potential hazards like open cabinets, cords, or plants, and I keep the environment safe and calm for the cat. I also provide regular updates with photos and notes so pet parents feel reassured. With my nursing background, attention to detail, and deep respect for each home I enter, I treat every space and pet as if they were my own.

Kim is truly one of the most trustworthy, compassionate people I know—and I would trust her not only with my home and pets, but with my life. As an experienced ICU nurse, she brings a calm, steady presence to every situation, and that extends naturally to the way she cares for animals. Kim is a lifelong animal lover and the proud cat parent of several fur babies. She has firsthand experience with pets who require extra care, including administering insulin to her own diabetic cat. Her attention to detail, medical knowledge, and deep empathy make her an exceptional caregiver—especially for pets with special needs. Whether your cat is shy and skittish or bold and curious, Kim has a gentle, patient approach that animals immediately respond to. She’s respectful of routines, incredibly reliable, and always goes the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

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.
