I'm Alvina | Cat Sitting in Irvine, CA
Hi! I'm Alvina and I live in Irvine, CA. I work in project management at a video game company. I have 4 rescue cats who were adopted at different times. One of my cats was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) in 2020, and my partner and I helped him throughout the entire 6 months of treatment and observation to full recovery. We had to inject him daily for almost 3 months and provide him with oral and ear medications throughout the treatment process. Given my experience, I am quite comfortable with providing medical accommodations to a certain extent. 😸 Completed over 1,500 drop-in cat sitting visits for happy clients 😸 Additionally insured with Pet Sitters Associates 😸 Certified in Cat and Dog First Aid with Red Cross Here's what I will do for your babies while you're out: ● Refresh their water bowls / top up their water fountain ● Feed your cats per your instructions / top up automated feeder ● Pl...

Alvina's Reviews
Virginia
Alvina is simply the best. I always want her for my substitute cat mama when I am away from my very shy kitties. They totally love her. And this really, really helped on some of my longer trips where I know they were missing me.
Brittney
Alvina did an amazing job! Was very communicative and detail oriented throughout the entire process. I felt really comfortable leaving her with my girl. She brought her own laser toy and sent tons of pictures and updates! I will definitely book Alvina again in the future. Really happy we found her. Thanks Alvina!

Alvina did a wonderful job taking care of our very shy, skittish cats. She provided great updates and plenty of photos/videos each visit. Our cats had a lot of fun playing and cuddling with her. I'm sure they already miss her and can't wait until their humans go on another trip.

Alvina is a godsend to our cats and us. She knows how to get to our cats as they are shy. The daily photos and videos that we received reassured us that our cats were well taken care of and they enjoyed her company. Food and water bowls and cat litter boxes were cleaned and maintained daily. We’ll definitely use Alvina again!

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 $37.00. 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.
