Learn More About Stephanie

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

I love cat sitting. I enjoy the peace of mind of the cat from being within their own homes and not at a boarding facility. I have been cat sitting for about eight years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The most enjoyable thing about cat sitting is getting the love and cuddles from them. Knowing that they are happy and comfortable in their own home fills my soul with joy.

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

Cats that are particularly timid or anxious I comfort them by talking to them. I like to say their name and how precious they are. If it's a girl then I say that she is a pretty girl or if it's a boy then I will tell them that they are handsome. I let them warm up to me at their pace.

Stephanie took very good care of our Misty! she also cleaned her bowls from her last visit and took pictures of Misty and sent them to us which we appreciated . she also was very diligent bringing in any packages that were left by our door. we have already reserved her for our next vacation. I highly recommend her.

If you have a timid or anti-social cat, I highly recommend Stephanie. She has watched my cat several times now, and for the first time during this last reservation , my cat didn’t greet her with a hiss, a huge milestone for us. Stephanie has given my cat her space and respected her boundaries, which I think was crucial in gaining her trust. Stephanie has become our official go-to cat sitter, and this apps makes it easy and convenient.

Stephanie is the best. I feel so confidant leaving my cats with her. She is diligent and kind. Although both my cats are shy with strangers, one has bonded with her and lets her pet him. Very unusual. I love that. Her daily emails and pictures are very informative. I wouldn't want anyone else taking care of them.

This is my third time booking Stephanie, and she’s officially part of Patches’ very small “approved humans” list. Patches is known for her sassy, not-so-warm personality with strangers, but she’s starting to be a little cute with Stephanie lol. Stephanie is always reliable, honest, caring, and cat-approved. Highly recommend!

Stephanie is an absolute gem. Even though Patches has quite the temper, she handles her like a pro with patience. She sends photo updates every visit and makes sure her litter box is cleaned, gives her wet food / treats, and makes sure her dry food and water are topped off. This was my second time booking her, and won’t hesitate to book again. I highly recommend her.

Stephanie took care of my cat, Patches, while I was away and I am completely satisfied with her services. Unfortunately, Patches wasn’t that friendly but Stephanie did a great job at giving her space and ensuring her litter box was cleaned and her food / water was topped off. The daily pictures and Stephanie’s way of handling Patches’ demeanor allowed me to enjoy my trip. Thank you Stephanie!

I would recommend Stephanie and Meowtel for your cat sitting needs. She did everything she said she would do and more. Everything went exactly like they said. No surprises. The prosses was easy and the cost was what I expected. I received daily updates and images. It was a great relief to know my babies were in such good hands. Thank you Stephanie and Meowtel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Santa Ana 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 $32.00. 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.
