Top-Rated Cat Sitter In San Jose

Cat Sitting in San Jose, CA

Hello, I’m Ana!

I’ve been a top-rated cat sitter on Meowtel for about 3 years, but honestly I’ve been taking care of cats for way longer than that.

I was that neighborhood kid people would ask to watch their cats when they went out of town, and I just kind of never stopped doing it. It’s always been something I take pretty seriously, even when I was younger.

I’m currently a student, so my schedule is pretty structured, and I’m used to keeping track of routines and details. That carries over a lot into how I take care of cats too.

I know leaving your cat can feel a little stressful, especially if they’re shy or really particular or just very attached to their space...
Hello, I’m Ana!

I’ve been a top-rated cat sitter on Meowtel for about 3 years, but honestly I’ve been taking care of cats for way longer than that.

I was that neighborhood kid people would ask to watch their cats when they went out of town, and I just kind of never stopped doing it. It’s always been something I take pretty seriously, even when I was younger.

I’m currently a student, so my schedule is pretty structured, and I’m used to keeping track of routines and details. That carries over a lot into how I take care of cats too.

I know leaving your cat can feel a little stressful, especially if they’re shy or really particular or just very attached to their space. I try to keep things as normal as possible for them and not disrupt their routine more than I have to.

I’ll send updates with photos and videos, and I try to pay attention to the small things too, like if they’re acting a little different or not eating the same or just seem off. I know that stuff matters.

I have four indoor cats, Mochi, Sakura, Gandalf, and Moira, so I’m very used to different personalities. Some of them want attention all the time, some want space, some change their mind every five minutes. I’m pretty used to adjusting to that instead of forcing interaction.

I’m patient, and I don’t rush cats that are more shy or unsure. If they need space, I give it. If they want attention, I’m there. I kind of just follow their lead.

I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean, and make sure your cat is comfortable while you’re away.

I’m fully vaccinated and happy to follow whatever routine or preferences you have.

I hope to hear from you! 🐱

Learn More About Ana

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I usually like to start with a quick meet and greet if possible, just so I can see your cat in their space and get a feel for their routine. I’ll ask a lot of small questions, like feeding habits, hiding spots, what they like or don’t like, anything that might stress them out. I also like to know what’s normal for them so I can notice if anything seems off. During visits, I try to follow their routine as closely as possible and not change too much. After each visit, I’ll send updates with photos and let you know how everything went.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I try to be really mindful and consistent with everything. I double check doors, make sure windows are secure, and always pay attention to where the cat is before coming in or leaving. I follow any instructions closely, especially with feeding, medication, or anything safety related. I also make sure things stay clean and in place so your cat’s environment feels normal while you’re away.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I don’t rush them at all. If a cat is shy, I usually give them space at first and just exist quietly in the room so they can get used to me. I’ll sit lower to the ground, avoid direct eye contact at first, and kind of let them decide if they want to come closer. Some cats warm up quickly, others take a few visits, and I’m okay with that. I just try to follow their pace and not force interaction, because that’s usually what helps them feel safe the fastest.

2nd time we have used Ana. She is absolutely outstanding! We have 2 senior cats, with Miri being 17+ years old and has some health issues. She kept in in daily contact with us for each visit ( am & pm), sent us photos as well as videos, especially of Eyerene the youngest being super cute and rolling around on the floor for pets and her Royal Highness Miri being of course her Princess-self. She even feed our menagerie of feral and semi-feral cats outside. She took great care of them as well and kept us updated daily. If you are concerned about proper care or have older cats or cats with any health issues, or anxiety like our youngest Eyerene then Ana is the sitter for you.

This was our first time using a service. I was very concerned because our eldest (17 yrs old) cat Miri has just been diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis and a heart murmur. She had just finished laser treatments and has just started a special diet. Then there was our younger cat Eyerene, who is 13 years old, healthy but chubby. Ana was absolutely wonderful from the first meeting to the last day. She kept us constantly updated with texts, photos and videos. What Miri had or not eaten, cleaned up any messes, etc. She even got Miri to play! I was astounded! Miri has not wanted to play in ages! Ana Charmed Princess Miri from day one, Ana is now a "royal member" of the family in Miri's eyes. Ana had an enormous of work she had to do with our 2 cats and did EVERYTHING and more! I highly recommend Ana if you need cat care whether it is your first time like us or if you have elder cats or just more than one cat. Ana is just the best!

Ana was fantastic. She was knowledgeable (already had litter robot experience, comfortable with automatic water fountains, and dry food distributors) and at our first meeting put me at ease by immediately understanding the flow of my cat care. The daily updates, including the adjustments to get the kitties more comfortable (treat scavenger hunts!), helped me relax on my trip- my kitties were in good hands.

Another wonderful experience with Ana! She took care of our two kitties while we were out of the country. Our older kitty had a cold and we were really worried about leaving her while she was feeling so unwell. Ana sent us pictures and detailed updates on her condition each visit and when we returned she was fully recovered. It's a huge relief to know we can count on Ana to be so responsive during her visits, answering questions in real time and putting our minds at ease!

Ana is our go-to sitter and always exceeds expectations. She treats Moon and Cloud like her own—sending updates, giving plenty of playtime, and even unpacking the extra litter we had delivered when supplies ran low. We travel knowing our cats and home are in caring, reliable hands. Five stars every time!

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!
