I'm Aurora
Cat Sitting in Orange, CA
With four cats of my own, I never get tired of being around them. I’ve been cat sitting for over 10 years, and it’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. Over the years I’ve worked at a cat café, volunteered in rescue, fostered cats, and cared for all kinds of personalities, from confident attention-seekers to shy little under-the-bed types.
Whether your cat is fluffy, feisty, chatty, anxious, cuddly, food-obsessed, or prefers to admire me from across the room, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at... Hi, I’m so glad you found me!

Whether your cat is fluffy, feisty, chatty, anxious, cuddly, food-obsessed, or prefers to admire me from across the room, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I have a soft spot for earning the trust of nervous cats and making sure every kitty feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
I’m based in Orange, CA and keep my service area small so I can give each client reliable, attentive care. I’ll always follow your routines and guidelines closely because I know how important consistency is for cats.
You’ll also get lots of updates and photos because I know being away from your pets can be hard. My goal is simple: happy cats, peace of mind for you, and plenty of love and attention while you’re gone.
I can’t wait to meet your baby 🐾
Learn More About Aurora
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
With over 10 years of cat sitting experience, I’ve had the joy of caring for kitties of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’m Pet CPR trained, spent 6 years working in pet rescue, and 3 years working hands-on at a cat café (yes, it was as magical as it sounds!). I’ve also fostered over 50 cats—everything from shy seniors to rowdy kittens—and only “foster failed” three times… which I consider an achievement and a badge of honor.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love the magic of earning a cat’s trust. Every cat is so unique - figuring out what makes each one tick (or purr!) is part of the joy.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have four cats - Bo, Thirteen, Sweets and Epponnee - they are all named after TV show characters - can you guess which ones?
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Interview several sitters until you feel comfortable. It’s hard leaving your babies and you deserve to enjoy your time away from them.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I double/triple check everything. I’ll never leave the property without knowing where the kitty is. I will also leave your property exactly how I found it, tidying as I go and respecting the space, as I would my own.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am very rarely away for the holidays. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work through the holidays with a minimal surcharge
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Cats do what they want, when they want and that’s what I love about them! If they want to hang with me, I love that, but if they don’t, that’s ok too. I talk (and sing) a lot on my visits so they get used to me. I get down to their level, hold out my hand for smells and never stroke them if they don’t instigate it.

Aurora is hands down the best cat sitter we’ve had! She took care of Cornelius like he was her own! Playing with him, brushing him, and even tidying up his play area. Cornelius already misses her! Her updates and attention to detail gave me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for a caring, reliable cat sitter, book Aurora. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.

Aurora took wonderful care of my cat for the day, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly has a way with cats. My baby was calm and sleepy when I got home, and I appreciated the updates during her visit, she takes awesome photos! I’ll definitely be booking her again!

Charlie warmed up to Aurora very quickly and was pleased to see her when she came to the house. Aurora sent updates and pictures daily. These were very comforting to receive. She definitely knows how to connect with Charlie and make him feel at ease.

Stop your search now. Aurora is the cat sitter for you!!! We couldn't have asked for a better lovely soul to care for our babies, Daisy and Luna. 🖤🩶 She went above and beyond. She fed the neighborhood strays and provided pictures of them enjoying their meals. Our own indoor kitties were so well taken care of. We got soooo many daily pictures of our babies that our minds were at ease to see them looking so happy. 😊 Oh and wait until you get her report! Such a great touch. Aurora is a truly an amazing find. Your kitties are in GREAT hands with her.

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.
Orange 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!

Leaving town for work or vacation is much less stressful when I know Aurora is watching my high-maintenance cats. I trust her utterly with my most precious babies. My two cats have very different personalities, are not always easy to please, and rarely trust anyone but Mom- but they love Aurora and her gentle energy. She makes their fussy special food combinations flawlessly and keeps them happy and fed.

Aurora is a true cat whisperer. Cats know they can trust her and she always is gentle and kind with them. She’s very observant of any changes in a cat’s behavior and a good communicator.
