Learn More About Ana

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

I have a 12+ years experience cat sitting, at the beginning it was just for fun and I did it for friends and family. I’ve always love spending time with cats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know their personalities and routines, figuring out how to approach them in a way that makes them feel comfortable and being able to connect with them. I also have to admit that I laugh a lot with them, as I find their way of interacting with the world really amazing. Curious, excited but cautious at the same time.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three wonderful kitties who came with us from Colombia: Lila (5), Rio (5), and Mia (11). They’re my babies, and I’ve had them since they were quite young.

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

I give them space and I let them be, approaching with caution and respect, staying calm, and offering treats to help them feel more comfortable and secure.

Ana is the best! I always receive thoughtful updates and truly outstanding photos. And my three cats adore her and love to spend time with her (even the shy one). It’s clear Ana genuinely cares, and they trust her completely. Knowing they’re happy while I’m away gives me total peace of mind.

Ana is truly a cat whisperer. My two guys swarm her when she is there. And the pictures she takes of Oliver and Milo are on my social media. Bravo Ana!

Ana has been charming our shy cat Duncan over repeated visits. She updates us regularly with observations about his routine, as well as cute pictures and videos of his antics during his visits. Recently, we have had a number of occasions when we had to change travel plans, and she has been really flexible with my uncertain dates. She is really great to work with.

I have to tell you how incredible Ana was with watching our four (yes four!) kitties. She easily won over all of the kitties with treats and playtime - including our Caramelo who has previously hid from all previous sitters! Her updates were perfect and we loved seeing the photos and videos she would send. We knew they were in excellent care and I would definitely recommend to her to anyone in need of a cat sitter as she was amazing!

Ana is the perfect sitter! From booking her to interacting with my cat, she made me feel comfortable every step of the way. But more importantly, she went above and beyond to bring my very shy kitty out of her shell. Ana is communicative, professional, provides detailed updates, and responds in a timely fashion. I would definitely recommend her.

This was the first time we've booked Ana and could not be happier! Our younger cat is a bit of a brat (and I'm being kind when I say that) with new people, and Ana handled her perfectly. She played with the girls and worked to earn their trust (and pets). I would book Ana again, and highly recommend her to others.

I've had my 2 cats for over 10 years but Ana is by far the best cat-sitter we've ever had. She went above and beyond to look after my shy, senior cats and I would not hesitate to ask for her service in the future. Her detailed updates were very assuring and I could tell that my cats were being well taken care of, and then some. I highly recommend Ana's services to anyone who is looking for an amazing cat-sitter.

Ana was absolutely amazing! My cat is 17 and I do not leave her often. As she’s gotten older she likes to have me around most of the time. So, I was nervous about leaving her. Ana soothed my nerves every step of the way. Upon arriving home, my cat was happy and I could tell she was very well cared for.

Once again, Ana took so much stress out of traveling. It’s so great to have a reliable sitter who the cats love and can’t wait to see. Ana always sends regular updates with professional quality pics (really!) and follows all our instructions to a tee. She consistently goes above and beyond for us, and even went outside the building to get a package that was misplaced. Having Ana watch our kitties while we are away gives us total peace of mind. We know they will be well cared for so we can relax and enjoy our travels. Can’t wait to have Ana back for our next trip!

This was our third time working with Ana, and once again, it was an amazing experience. Ana is thorough, always follows our instructions, and is proactive. She takes the initiative to ask questions, grab mail and packages, and clean up. I love her text updates for each visit, and she always sends the best photos of our cats! She is fantastic with them, and they absolutely adore her. Her energy is wonderfulβ€”calm, kind, and caring. Our cats clearly love spending time with her, especially when she brings toys for them to play with. During this visit, a last-minute family emergency forced us to extend our trip by a few more days, and Ana was incredibly accommodating. It was such a relief during an already stressful time to know our cats were in excellent care. We feel very fortunate to have found Ana and couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Ana is a sweet person who truly cares. I have a needy cat who is sometimes picky with her food and Ana was very good about giving her options. I would definitely use her again for a trip. My cat didn’t throw up from stress and that usually happens when I go on trips but that didn’t happen this trip! 😻

Ana took excellent care of my kitty over 8 days. she came twice a day and every time gave a report on activities, feeding, etc. And sent the best pet photos I’ve ever seen! she was always quick to respond and clearly cares very much about taking good care of kitties. I will not hesitate to have her pet sit again! Thanks Ana.

I cannot emphasize enough how incredible Ana was as my cat sitter. She was extremely detail oriented which gave me such peace of mind. She was also very respectful of my home and went above and beyond to make sure I came home to a clean apartment (she ran my roomba and even took the trash out). She sent wonderful updates and would double/triple check things. Not only did she send lots of photos and updates while I was gone, but she also left the cutest Polaroid photo of my cat on the counter for me when I returned. Without a doubt I will be hiring Ana again and referring her to all of my friends with cats. It's obvious she loves animals and they love her back! Things are stressful enough around the holidays or when you have to leave your pet in general, do yourself a favor and hire Ana!

We are so happy we found Ana! She was communicative, easy to work with, and my cats absolutely loved her – they would wait by the door for her! Every visit we've had with her has been outstanding, and it is such a relief to know my kitties are in excellent care. We are so grateful for her! Ana was professional and friendly through our initial contact, and at our meet and greet, her warm demeanor put me and my shy kitties at ease. My cats immediately took to her calm energy, kind voice, and gentle touch. She is a cat whisperer! Ana was thorough with her questions about schedules and care, making notes about my requests about accessing our home, as well as asking about the cat's favorite toys, treats and mealtime details, and play habits. Every booking with Ana has put my mind at ease when we are away. She follows all our instructions, is consistent, and truly goes above and beyond every step of the way from playing with the cats to taking amazing pictures of them - her photos are seriously professional quality! During our first visit with Ana, one of our cats unexpectedly got sick while we were away. Ana notified us right away, kept us constantly updated, and was even able to administer medicine and warm compresses, not an easy feat on a fussy cat. She messaged us after we got home to check and see if he was feeling better! We can't recommend Ana enough and we look forward to having her watch our cats in the future.

Featured Cat Sitters Near Santa Monica, CA

Frequently Asked Questions

Santa Monica cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $38.00. 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.
