I'm Hayoung | Cat Sitting in Santa Ana, CA

Hi there! I'm a lifelong cat lover and have been a proud cat parent for over 14 years. Having moved away from my family home in South Korea, I miss my own fur baby and would love to spend my extra time caring for yours! I’ve raised my cat since he was a tiny, 2-month-old kitten with health issues, like ear ticks. Thanks to my careful attention, following vet advice with treatments and regular care, he's now a healthy 14-year-old senior. Over the years, I’ve built cat towers, ...

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a cat named Blue, who's been with me for 14 wonderful years. I raised him from a tiny kitten, and he's stil going strong. I had to move away recently, but I'm planning to bring him with me soon!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I’d recommend looking for a cat sitter who’s been a long-term cat owner. People who live with cats 24/7 have experienced all kinds of situations, including emergencies. For example, one day in Korea, my cat was trying to catch a bird through the window, tore the bug net, and fell from a high floor. My family panicked, but I rushed down and found him hiding under a car, terrified but alive. Thankfully, he was okay after a vet visit and care. This experience taught me to be extra cautious and attentive to protect him from danger. Long-term owners like myself know how to handle emergencies and ensure your cat’s safety and comfort.

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

My own cat can be quite defensive around new people or other cats, so I’ve learned to handle timid or anxious cats with extra care. I take a calm, patient approach, giving them space to adjust at their own pace. I avoid forcing interaction and let them come to me when they’re ready. I also stick to their routine, use gentle movements, and offer treats or toys they enjoy to build trust gradually. I understand that each cat is different and respect their boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Santa Ana cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $41.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
