Learn More About Ivailo
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I had two cats, Jordan and Joy. Jordan tragically passed away two years ago, and now Joy is my princess at home. I also care for a local cat colony and rescued a stray I named Ayra, who now lives safely in my garage.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
When I cat-sit, I ensure the cat’s safety and security by keeping the environment calm and hazard-free. I monitor their behavior closely, make sure windows and doors are securely closed, and provide fresh food and water on time. I follow their routine, handle them gently, and give them space when needed to reduce stress. I also keep the owner’s instructions and emergency contacts handy, so I can act quickly if anything happens. Creating a safe, comfortable space helps the cat feel secure while I care for them.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When I cat-sit a timid or anxious cat, I give them space and time to feel safe, never forcing interaction. I speak softly, move slowly, and let the cat approach me on their own terms. I create quiet, comfortable areas where they can hide if needed and observe their body language carefully. If I notice signs of stress, like hissing or hiding, I step back, avoid sudden movements, and maintain a calm presence. My goal is to build trust gradually so the cat feels secure despite my being a new person in their environment.

I am so happy to know Ivailo. With his extensive knowledge of cats he helped me with a rescue by nurturing her back to health and showing me the ropes on how to care for her. He responded quickly to every call or text, took time to listen and even gained my cats trust. He is responsible, honest and takes care of my cat with such patience that I am worry free when she’s with him. I couldn’t ask for a better cat caregiver.

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.
Sacramento cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
