I am a biomedical engineer by day and a loving cat mom by night. I have years of experience caring for my own 3 cats - giving love, kisses and medication when needed. I have experience in cat fostering with a local rescue. I also take care of friends' cats when they go on vacations - feeding, playing and cuddling them when their own parents are out of town. I love introducing myself to all cats and spending quality time learning their personalities. Whether your cat is brave and charismatic or shy and quiet, I am happy to provide them with a safe and loving environment while their parents are away.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I cared for my mom's cats while she would go out of town for the last 10 years. I also have taken care of my friends' cats while they are on vacation for the last 3 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love all cats. Cat sitting provides the opportunity to meet new cats and learn new personalities. I love caring and loving for cats while their parents are out of town so they aren't lonely.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 cats. Their names are Captain Harlock, Avandra the Changeringer and Melora the Wildmother. Harlock is a 10 year old male cat who was found roaming my neighborhood streets as a kitten. Avandra is a 8 year old female cat who grew up in foster care and I adopted with my husband before we got married. Melora is a 3 year old female cat who was found at a bus station. She is our foster fail.

I cannot say enough positive things about Sairah. From the moment we first met her I could tell how experienced and caring she is. She definitely knows her stuff. Was Very professional and reliable. I was so happy that she provided daily updates with pictures and a synopsis of how our beloved kitty was doing. From the moment she arrived she would immediately text us and let us know she was at our home. Would send at least 5-6 pictures which really put my husband and I at ease since it was our first time using Mowtel and we have never really trusted anyone to watch our cat before. She even would water our plants for us which was so nice! If you live in South Orange county she would be a perfect fit! I cannot wait to book her for my next vacation as I know my kitty will definitely be in good hands and I can actually enjoy my time away and not worry.

This was my first time using Meowtel and Sairah was helpful and friendly from the beginning. When I first reached out about pet sitting she was quick to respond. She was punctual, detail oriented and thorough when coming to meet the cats. I felt very comfortable leaving the cats in her care. She sent great pictures and updates on the cats everyday, which really helped ease my mind when traveling. She was patient with my shy kitties and they completely opened with her and were super happy even while we were gone. My cats like to play hide and seek with treats, and I mentioned it in passing but didn’t include it in their routine. However, she went above and beyond to do that activity with them, which really shows how much she cares about the cats she’s taking care of. I also have a lizard (who I didn’t include in the pet sitting) but she still sent me picture updates of him as well. Sairah is truly an excellent pet sitter and I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area.

This was my first time with Meowtel and having someone come in to the house and I was really happy! Sairah was amazing. She met me and I could tell she is very responsible and really loves cats and could take care of my cat who has simple needs but can be skitty at times. I really enjoyed the updates and she showed up as she said she would and provided way more photos than I thought I would get. The notes on my cat's demeanor and eating were really helpful. I got an email every time there was an update on the website and that worked great. I would highly recommend using Sairah and Meowtel - I think their prices are very reasonable and they are using caring people for an important job.

From the moment we saw Sairah's profile, we knew she was purrfect. We were going on our honeymoon and wanted someone who really, deeply understood cats....when I saw the photo of her cat in a harness on a leash, I knew she was "the one". I immediately sent to my hubby and we agreed to book her right away. Sairah was very thorough, thoughtful, and kept us in the loop with every visit. She even vacuumed our cat, because he loves that. He was obviously comfortable with her during her pre-visit and she just gave us so much peace of mind with our sweet 19 year old baby. I would 200% recommend her and will absolutely ask her to watch him again. When our flight was delayed to the next day, she even put my meal kit delivery in the fridge....just above and beyond. 10 out of 5 stars!!!! Thank you, Sairah, for being sooo amazing. We cannot express our gratitude enough!!

I couldn’t be more pleased with the exceptional care my two cats received from Sairah while I was away. She went above and beyond in every aspect of pet sitting. From meticulously feeding them and keeping their area spotless to engaging with my playful boy and patiently coaxing my shy kitty out of her shell, she demonstrated genuine dedication and skill. Sairah was consistently punctual, providing detailed updates and wonderful pictures that reassured me of their well-being. I can tell from the pics that my boy Athos enjoyed her visits! Overall, Sairah is amazing, and I wouldn’t hesitate to entrust her with my cats again! Her level of care and professionalism are top tier.

My cat clearly enjoyed spending time with Sairah so much, that when I returned home just as Sairah was making her final visit, the cat walked off and refused to see me for at least an hour! Sairah was so good about sending daily updates and photos and I booked her again before I returned from my last trip.

Mission Viejo cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
