Learn More About Ana Lucia

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

I’ve been a cat lover and caregiver since childhood—always the one rescuing abandoned kittens and helping neighbors with their feline companions. Over the years, I’ve provided care for cats of all ages and temperaments, from playful kittens to shy seniors needing medication or extra comfort. I’ve been cat sitting informally for friends, family, and neighbors for over 20 years, and more formally in recent years. My intuitive bond with cats helps me quickly gain their trust, making each visit stress-free and loving.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most is building trust and bonding with each cat’s unique personality—I truly fall in love every time.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

They are all my favorite. The cats are excited when they see me, I pet and brush and talk to them. I play with them making my heart melt.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have two beloved cats: Gunner, a 6-year-old Siberian Forest Cat, and Bella, a 1-year-old Bicolor Blue Ragdoll. I previously had two cherished companions—Kiki, a Siamese who lived 15.5 years, and Priska, a Norwegian Forest Cat who both sadly passed from cancer in July 2024.

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

I’d advise asking about their experience with cats—have they owned one? Listen for thoughtful, cat-savvy language that shows true understanding.

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

I create a pet profile, ask about health, routine, meds, allergies, treats, feeding, litter habits, and home care instructions.

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

I ensure cat safety by anticipating their behavior before entering, preventing escapes by securely closing doors and screens, and doing headcounts. I double-check that windows and doors are shut and locked when I arrive and before leaving to maintain home security and keep cats safely indoors.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I’m available most holidays; however, I travel during Thanksgiving weekend and will be in Colorado from December 20th to 28th.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love engaging cats with a wand toy featuring a hanging fish or bird, crinkly cat balls, and catnip-stuffed toys.

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

I speak softly, give space, approach slowly with pheromones, play gently, and gain trust—eventually brushing and bonding with cats .

Frequently Asked Questions

Ventura cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, 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. 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.
