Learn More About Irena

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

Although I’ve had cats for 20 years I just started cat sitting for others earlier this year in 2025. I’ve done cat boarding and drop in visits.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Admittedly, I love the cuddles. When a cat comes to cuddle it’s like…I’ve been chosen! Cats work on their own terms and it can be very relaxing to build trust

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Well kittens are the best! Nothing beats opening the door to tiny little meows happy to see someone’s come to visit!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a new rescue! A tiny tortie kitten named Bolt! She’s an only child now but I may foster in the future

Are you usually available during holidays?

I’ll be available during Christmas this year! Drop in visits and overnights. I’ll unfortunately be out of town for thanksgiving

Irena was awesome taking care of our two boys. It was our first time away from them for this long and she did a great job of taking care of them. Highly recommend :)

Irena has always been my trusted cat sitter, especially with my senior cats that needed extra care. I love her gentle approach with animals, and always found her to be a pragmatic and detail-oriented person which is the exact trait I want in a pet sitter. Critical thinking is important to her, and it's important to me trusting her with my cats! Irena also cares a lot about cat health and cleanliness, and treating cats as autonomous beings that have boundaries. By god she will ALWAYS clean that water bowl and I love her for it!

Frequently Asked Questions

North Hollywood cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
