Cat Sitting in Irvine, CA
I understand that every cat is unique. Some enjoy playtime and attention, while others prefer a calm presence and their own ... Hi! Iām a lifelong cat lover and proud cat mom to two cats, including a blind cat. Caring for my own pets has given me experience with different personalities, special needs, health monitoring, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where cats can feel secure and relaxed.
I understand that every cat is unique. Some enjoy playtime and attention, while others prefer a calm presence and their own space. I always take the time to learn each catās routine and respect their individual needs and comfort level.
During visits, Iāll refresh food and water, clean litter boxes, provide companionship and enrichment, monitor your catās well-being, and send photo updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while youāre away. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
Iāve been caring for cats for many years as a cat owner and currently have two cats of my own, including a blind cat. Through caring for them, Iāve gained experience with different personalities, special needs, health monitoring, feeding routines, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for cats. Friends and family have also trusted me to care for their cats when they were away.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes! I have two cats of my own - Kochka and Pansa. One of them is blind, which has taught me a great deal about patience, observation, and adapting care to a catās individual needs. Being a cat parent helps me understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets while youāre away.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I believe trust is earned on a catās terms. With shy or anxious cats, I move slowly, speak softly, and give them the space they need to feel comfortable. I never force interaction and instead let the cat approach me when theyāre ready. My goal is to help them feel safe and secure while maintaining their normal routine

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Irvine cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
