I have used At Home Cat Care on numerous occasions. I always get a prompt response when I request service. Nadia, our cat sitter, always sends daily updates with photos when the cats are being friendly. I highly recommend their services. I will continue to use them whenever I need help with my cats. read more

Great company and trustworthy . Thank you Lee and Maria! These ladies know cats, love cats and can handle almost any special care needs situations like subQ and injections. Much better than boarding the cat in a small enclosure for multiple days. read more

At Home Cat Care - Bucky was well cared for by At Home Cat Care. - Pet Sitting Near Me

Wow, I am so impressed! I love Annette! You can really trust her! My husband and I were very nervous about leaving our precious kitties alone with a stranger, but we definitely found a reliable care giver. We first had a meeting with Annette a few days before leaving. You could immediately tell Annette didn't do this job simply to make money, it was more like her passion. She was a super cat guru! She seemed to know everything about kitties and was so cute and warm! While we were gone she would come feed and play with our kitties, sending pictures and videos of all their fun! She even came extra times free of charge just to check twice on the kitties. When we came back the kitties looked peaceful and happy and well cared for. She even wrote a long essay on the whole experience and gave us tips and tricks. We were so amazed and can't gush enough! read more

I highly recommend At Home Cat Care! My wife and I headed to the east coast for the Christmas holiday for a little less than a week, and left our two cats under the care of Nita - one of Lee's cat sitters. We were a bit apprehensive at first because we had never used Lee, or any cat sitting service before, but our concerns were quickly put at ease. Nita was so kind and so attentive to detail! Every day we received text message updates with pictures of our cats. One of our cat usually takes a long time to warm up to new people, but by the third day she was confident enough around Nita to run circles around the house. You won't go wrong if you chose At Home! We will absolutely be using their services again! read more

If you love your cat/s you can do no better than hiring Lee to care for them when you are away. She is thorough, keeping a complete record of your kitty, including such things as the litter box/s location in your home. But if you have a senior cat or one with medical issues, you have hit the jackpot when you hire Lee either to care for them or to teach you how to administer home medical treatment, if and when it becomes necessary. Lee was invaluable to me in the home care of my beloved Scottish Fold, Velvet, nearly 16 and suffering from a myriad of medical problems including the genetic Polycystic kidney disease. Lee administered fluids and other medications and taught me and several friends to do it as well. She is caring, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable about cats in general, including behavior, food, nutrition and medical issues. She lives and breaths cats! When Velvet's internist told me that no more could be done for Velvet, I called Lee. She had previously given me the name of a veterinarian who does home euthanasia. As usual, Lee only recommends the best. She also offered to come and help me through the painfully difficult process. I'll never forget her kindness and support. Annette R. read more

At Home Cat Care - Pet Sitting Near Me

Fantastic service. Since moving to Irvine from out of the country, my husband and I have been too nervous to travel, as we hate leaving our cat at home in the care of others, and worry about her constantly. She's our baby! I was so glad to find At Home Cat Care. Lee is extremely professional. She came to our apartment for an initial meeting and took detailed notes about everything from food and vet information to our cat's hiding spots. We returned from our trip today, and she had left a log about our cat's behaviour during the trip, which was awesome to read. You can tell she truly cares about your cat's wellbeing and she knows what she's doing. Not only does she take care of food/water and litterbox, but she plays with your cat to make sure they're getting the interaction they need while you are away, and monitors them for any health issues. We will definitely be using At Home Cat Care again and highly recommend the service to other cat owners. read more

Lee LOVES cats. In fact I think she loves them maybe even more than humans... and that is what you want in a cat sitter. She is the most supreme advocate for your cats and has their highest good in mind at all times. I've been using Lee as my cat sitter for more than 10 years, her and her staff are the best. You know that a surrogate you is at home with your cats playing with them, brushing them and loving them when you are away from them. I've had friends offer to take care of my cats for free when I travel, and I turn them down cause I know my cats won't receive the love and care that Lee and her staff will give. My kitties Sam and Annie are so happy and calm when I return from my trips when Lee and her staff have been with them. It's like I never left. You'll even get sweet pictures via text message of your babies. When you finish your trip there is a little note waiting for about all the fun things that happened with your cats and how they did when you were gone, so reassuring and sweet... every last detail thought through. If you want to feel safe while traveling, and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that your cats are WELL looked after don't go anywhere else. read more

I came home from a trip and my cat appeared happy and fed. I am not giving 5 stars because I had requested photos of my cat to be sent to me each day so I could be reassured that she was being checked on. However, many times I had to ask for the photos and twice I was sent duplicates of photos of my cat. Example: I got a photo on Friday of her sitting on a blanket, and was sent the exact same photo on Sunday when I asked to be shown a picture of her that day. That definitely did not reassure me and caused me to worry and be confused if she was actually being checked on each day. They seemed to check on her daily after that, or at least I was sent photos of her playing which relieved me a bit read more

I have used At Home Cat Care for 13 years and trust Lee and her staff with my Fur Babies and our House. They are Professional with every aspect of the business with the added personal touch. They take Cat Sitting to a new level. I wouldn't trust my four legged kids to anyone else! read more

At Home Cat Care was wonderful from the first phone call from Debbie to Cathleen who took care of my kitty. Debbie gave me lots of suggestions over the phone regarding kitty litter to use, since my cat is diabetic and using the litter box a lot. Cathleen was reliable and caring and made sure my aging kitty had all his needs met. She was very thorough with getting info before we left and was prepared for any type of emergency while we were gone. I felt a great deal of relief after I booked her to come visit and will certainly hire them again! read more

I recently adopted a cat from the shelter and wasn't quite sure how to handle an extended trip out of town. There seem to be a lot of options for cat boarding, but home care seemed to be the best for the animal's well being. I found At Home Cat Care on Yelp and e-mailed to set up a time for a sitter to come visit with me. Debbie called me to set up the appointment and took detailed notes on how to care for my cat. She sensed I was a new owner and offered some helpful suggestions on where to place scratching posts, toys, etc. While I was away, she sent photos/videos, played with my cat, and even offered to water some plants we have. My cat can be a bit messy, so I also suspect she tidied up a bit for us before we got home. You really got a sense for how experienced Debbie was at handling cats (and dogs, too!). Overall, it was a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to use At Home Cat Care again. Debbie did a great job and I knew my pet was in great hands (probably more adept than my own) while I was out of town. read more

I was in need of Kitty care and found At Home Cat Care on Yelp. Lee and Maria have been absolutely wonderful to my furry babies. I moved to Orange County from San Francisco for work so really was unsure of what to do when I wanted to go out of town. Glad I found Lee and her team! My kitties and I think At Home Cat Care is Puuurrrfect!!! read more

I've used AHCC several times now and have been very impressed with their professionalism and level of care. A huge thank you to Paula. Coordinating and communication has always been easy and efficient, I've never been left guessing on any part of the arrangements or pricing. I've never been comfortable letting a stranger in my home to take care of my beloved animals, but that has changed and I have complete trust and confidence in Paula. Thank you AHCC for allowing me to take a vacation without worrying about my pets. read more

Highly recommend At Home Cat Care! We were going away on our wedding and honeymoon for two and a half weeks and it was great not worrying about how our cat Forrest was doing. Lee and Paula were great with him and sent updates/photos with how he was doing. It looks like he had a blast with them! read more

This review is long overdue as we have been using At Home Cat Care since 2015. In one sentence, they are the absolute BEST and this is coming from a high maintenance cat owner and who is very particular about my fur babies :) Other than providing great care and service, the cat sitters genuinely love my kitties and treat them like their own. We have worked with several sitters from At Home Cat Care over the years who are all great but our favorite is Annette as she is so knowledgeable when it comes to all things cat and takes excellent care of our cats. Also, the owner Lee runs the business very professionally (which is exactly what you want from a business owner) while also providing so much love and care for our cats. I can't say enough great things about At Home Cat Care! read more

Words can't describe how happy we are with at Home Cat Care, our expectations were exceeded in every way. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Jan went beyond what we expected, she is absolutely amazing!! read more

I returned from a four day trip to find my 18yr old cat happy and relaxed. She is very high strung and shy and has always been fairly traumatized the few times I have gone away so I am really impressed. There was even a stress point when the housekeeper put her automatic timer food bowl outside but we were informed right away that it happened and was found. I really appreciated that because I want to know everything that happens, good or bad. I will definitely recommend Kathleen and this very organized and professional, caring service to anyone taking a trip without their furry family member. read more

Wonderful people who love cats! I'm so grateful for people who put so much care into their work.

Well, this review was a long time coming. I can totally recommend At Home Cat Care without reservation. Our cat Sweetie was 17 yrs old and on several medications, including subQ fluids, when we first asked Lee and her staff to look after Sweetie. Cherie took care of Sweetie during all of our absences, and for the first couple of times (at least), I think I texted Cherie every day and probably more than once a day. If she was annoyed, she didn't show it. :-) She texted right back and let me know how Sweetie was doing. I even locked myself out of my house once and Cherie graciously came over to give me the key. We sadly lost our Sweetie at the beginning of this year (she was 19), but if and when we are ready for another feline family member, At Home Cat Care will still be my trustworthy cat sitter. read more

Lee manages the service but does not personally service all the clients. My cats are healthy so Lee normally sends one of her employees. I used this service for 5 years and thought I was happy until I came home early from a 5 day vacation. I called Lee at noon on the third day of vacation and left a message stating I would return late that night and please cancel service for the (last) two days. Service was scheduled for mid-day, so the service should have happened before or shortly after Lee got my message. I arrived home around 8 pm to find no one had visited for at least 24 hours possibly longer. I first noticed two distressed cats loudly expressing their need for attention, there were no logs of visits, no mail had been brought in for 3 days, I found every electrical cord or appliance in my home, except the refrigerator, unplugged. Most appalling of all, the essential pet care items were in bad shape: heavily soiled litter boxes, empty dry & wet food bowls and cloudy water bowls with low levels of water. I asked myself how often has, this happened. How many times have I paid for service and the cats went unattended with someone playing catch up at odd hours or waiting until the last day? I called Lee and she was initially apologetic but in conversation she started reciting a list of critiques her pet sitter had expressed to her, giving the impression that my cats & home were quite substandard. I had paid Lee in advance so she kept the money for the full 5 days @ $27 a day. After this experience I decided I did not want to open my home to such critical people, so I asked Lee to return my key. Lee stated she would mail (USPS) my key. I agreed since my mail box is locked and secured. She did not honor the agreement and sent the key by FedEx with a signature required. So, instead of my key arriving in a day or two, delivery was delayed for over a week. read more

I highly recommend At Home Cat Care! I switched from cat boarding to home sitting and so glad to have done the switch. I can finally have stress free trips knowing that my furry friend is well taken care of while I am away. Paula was fantastic! She sent me pictures every day and I could tell my kitty loved her. I'm so glad to have found them! read more

We were so pleased to find a service that specializes in cat care. Most sitters are focused on dogs. Lee came over for the initial visit which was very thorough and took down all the information about our two cats. You can tell she loves cats. Her and her staff took care of our kitties when we went on vacation for two weeks and did a very good job. We even got text messages and a photo when we were away and a hand written letter was waiting when we got back. The service is very affordable and we feel we can go away and not worry about who will look after them anymore. Most of her staff work at Vet clinics. read more

I was leaving my 2 young kittens and was worried that they would lose their socialization during my absence. I didn't need to worry. When my plane landed at my destination, I already had a text message with a photo of them looking very relaxed and happy. Paula did such a wonderful job that they would still wait for her visit even after I returned home. I received daily photos and updates which allowed me to stop worrying and enjoy my trip. Lee is very organized and checked in with me on my return. Both Paula and Lee are super nice, too. I highly recommend At Home Cat Care! read more

This was the first time I have used AHCC and we were so incredibly pleased with the service and attention to detail. We just moved to the area and had a trip planned. I first spoke with Lee and then Kathleen. Once we met Kathleen, I knew my kitties were in good hands. Both my cats are shy and one gets very freaked out with strangers in the house. I did not expect Kathleen would even see her. On the first visit she actually came out and checked Kathleen out but the second visit she was out and about, very relaxed! The pictures and updates I got at each visit were great and reassuring that my kitties were actually enjoying their cat sitter. That is a first for them! I was so nervous moving to a new area and having to find a new cat sitter but I can now travel and not worry about my cats and their care. When we returned, my cats acted as if we had been gone for a few hours not a couple of days. read more

Amazing! Claire has always taken such good care of my cats. I know they will be taken care of any time I leave. It has certainly been wonderful to know my cats are perfectly happy and cared for when I have to go out of town. read more

Lee brings a great combination of passion for her work, a great knowledge of cats, and a love for their uniqueness. In addition to all of that, she is extremely reliable and trustworthy. I highly recommend At Home Cat Care and Lee Novak. read more

I have employed At Home Cat Care for over 15 years. When I first called Lee, I had two cats. Every year I take two vacations. Lee came over to interview me and the cats. She took lots of notes about their characteristics , daily care, etc. Claire was and has been the care taker of my cat companions. They are always in perfect condition when I return. Claire had to deal with my Somali cat, Dahlia, who was diagnosed with cancer--lots of devious ways to swallow pills. I lost Dahlia about twelve years ago. Then Josie who adopted me lived a long life--almost 20 years. While I had Josie, I brought Rose into our lives. Rose and Josie were great together. And, Claire dealt with the differences in ages wonderfully. Then, we had to deal with Josie and her recurring kidney problems. Once again, Claire knew exactly what to do. Josie finally passed and now Claire comes to visit Rosie, another Somali. For a while Rose truly grieved for her companion Josie. It was a difficult time. But, once again, Claire knew what to do when I went on vacations. Currently, it's just Rosie and I. No big issues to deal with. But, I know when the time comes At Home Cat Care will be there for Rose and her special needs. You truly cannot find a more caring and knowledgeable staff than Lee's. Claire has even watched over my plants when needed. These people are wonderful, trustworthy, and caring. You could not find finer individuals to take care of your cat companions. I will NEVER ask another group of people to care for my precious cats. This company is AWESOME! read more
