amazing as always she is so attentive, kind, and thoughtful, and frankly likely saved our Katz life by telling us that we had flowers that could be dangerous which we had no idea

Alvina did a wonderful job caring for our shy cat. She provided detailed reports about how our cat was doing and also sent us videos and photos. Thanks to Alvina we felt comfortable going on vacation knowing our cat would be in good hands.

Alvina is a wonderful sitter for our family! She cares so much about our pets and in addition to our cats, she even takes care of our canary, Sweet Peeps! She provides loads of pictures and videos and even my shyest cat loves to visit with her and play with her, so she's a certified cat whisperer! Thank you, Alvina!

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.

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!

We will continue to use her services for our future cat sitting needs and recommend her without hesitation!

Mike
We are fortunate to have found Alvina. She is the only cat sitter that was able to coach and care for a very shy Bengal cat. Our second cat is very social with strangers and had no problem warming up to her right away. Alvina is the first sitter to show patience and allowed for him (Bengal) to trust her at his own pace. She provides many pictures on every visit and always provides a short update as to how the day went. She truly goes above and beyond with the care of both our boys. Since their diet requires raw food feedings and can be a little tricky, Alvina nailed the feeding on our first trip and understood the process and preparation of the food. Although a little pricier than some other sitters, the proof is in the visits, feeding and videos she shares of both cats. I would HIGHLY recommend giving her a try. I promise, you will not be disappointed in the results.

Thank you for taking care of my cat while I am away. You did a great job: Sending me status report every day and pictures of my cat. it's good to know that my cat is in good hand instead of pets hotel. Thank you Alvina

Alvina is an A+ cat-sitter! She is able to tune in to what your cat needs and really understands how to interact with them. She’s very dependable and she sends lovely photos, videos, and updates. I wouldn’t trust my cat with anyone else. She is the cat’s pajamas! We couldn’t be happier with her services.

Alvina has been my go to cat-sitter for over half a year now. I honestly don't know what I'd do if she ever stopped. My cat is in love with her and is crazy comfortable with her. I had a few other people try to cat sit but Alvina (in my opinion) is hands down the best. My cat has a dietary fiber supplement that she should be eating to help with digestion and she refused to eat it from me because the manufacture changed the formulae by a tiny bit and my cat can tell! But Alvina was able to get her to start eating the new one thru her amazing cat charming tactics. Thank you Alvina!

Alvina took great care of our cats while we were away. She spent time getting to know each cat individually, which helped them to get comfortable with her at their own pace. After each visit, she would provide us updates and pictures. We are so thankful for Alvina and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

Alvina is the best pet sitter I can imagine! She was super helpful throughout the process, from booking, to the meet and greet, through the trip! She was able to meet all my pets at the Meet & Greet and she is clearly an animal person which gave me confidence. She asked many detailed questions about their care to be sure she had everything right. During the trip, she sent me pictures and updates every time she visited. All of this gave me piece of mind that my babies were being cared for! I can't recommend Alvina enough.

Absolutely amazing cat sitting service. Alvina was extremely detailed, prompt, punctual, and caring for my fur-baby. She really went above and beyond and followed all my nitpicky instructions. I've had friends and family cat sit before, but now I understand what a true professional is after having Alvina look after my cat. I am not sure I am ever going to be able to get a different cat-sitter after Alvina. Thank you so much.

I had never left my cats but for a few hours, so leaving for 4 days I was not feeling comfortable at all. Then I met Alvina. I met up with her a few days before I left and immediately felt that my cats would be taken care of. She kept in contact with me via text, sent pictures and videos morning and evening and I could tell my cats were happy! Alvina…thank you so much for all you do ❤️❤️❤️

Maija
Alvina was AMAZING! She looked after our Izzy while we were away and did so much more than the necessary feeding & cleaning. She even pointed out a sore Izzy developed (stressed& overgrooming) and checked if it was ok to apply a remedy! So thoughtful! Izzy loved Alvina and made friends instantly, which is saying something, as Izzy is usually quite reserved towards new people. I cannot recommend Alvina enough, she is the best cat sitter in Irvine!

Alvina was absolutely amazing! Every time she visited Lucy she sent several pictures to show me that Lucy was doing well, her litter box was cleaned and her food & water bowls were replenished. Alvina was attentive to Lucy and took care of her like her own.

This is my first time using Meowtel and Alvina was wonderful. My kitty is very shy and hid most of the time but Alvina was able to snap some photos during her visits and would have probably had Ollie out and interacting with her had I been gone longer. I could not have asked for a better, more caring sitter! Thank you Alvina!

I cannot say enough about Alvina. She watched over my 2 cats for 4 days and took great care of them. Felix warmed up to her almost immediately but she was also able to encourage Milo to come out of his shell. Not an easy task! I really appreciated how communicative and responsive she was. She got back to me quickly to schedule and sent me updates after each visit. I highly recommend Alvina to care for your cats!

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.
