Dana was the best! From her photo and video updates, to how responsive she was. We will have to plan another getaway just so our kitties can play with their new best friend.

Dana was fantastic! She was extremely communicative and took great care of our two cats. The pictures she sent clearly showed that even our more shy cat quickly got comfortable with her! We'll absolutely be booking with her again.

Dana was lovely from the very first message. The meet & greet gave me confidence that using a service (instead of a friend that MoonPie knows/trust/*likes*) would work. Dana's daily updates and photos provided further reassurance while I was away. I'm certain that my senior companion will miss Dana's time, attention, and loving vibes.

This was our second booking with Dana. She checked every box, taking time to play with our kitties and making sure all thier needs were taken care of. She communicated all the details of each visit and left everything in great shape!

I was very impressed with Dana’s cat sitting skills. I have a shy kitty but somehow Dana managed to get her to warm up. Dana was extremely professional, reliable, friendly, and a genuinely nice person... pretty much everything you’d want in a cat-sitter. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

The reservation went smoothly. The following day we were able to meet and she was able to see Lo my cat. While she was here she cleaned the litter box, took pictures of Lo, and even played with him. All-in-all definitely worth it and Dana is amazing!

Dana takes excellent care of Zeppo every time she visits. A glitch with the electric lock to my home caused her to have to take two trips in one day but she was only concerned with making sure my cat was cared for. I feel so lucky I can relay on Dana!

Dana provides very reliable and thorough service. She did everything exactly as I explained to her. My kitties are sometimes shy but they interacted with her on the visits. I recommend Dana for taking care of your kitties.

Dana was great! We have 4 cats under 6 months old and were worried about leaving them for 5 days.. Dana was on time, consistent and sent picks and videos that made us comfortable they were ok. We will definitely use her again.

Reliable and caring sitter. Timely text updates with great pictures. If my cats could talk they would probably say more nice things because it seems they like her more than us.

Dana was amazing with our very shy cats! I called her the cat whisperer because they are normally very timid and don't come around when we have visitors but both of them warmed right up to her! We loved getting pictures and an update each day, too! We will definitely reach out to Dana again when we need someone to take good care of the kitties so we can travel.

Dana is amazing. I get so anxious leaving my kitties behind when I travel, but Dana gave me so much peace of mind. My cats took to her immediately! She provided detailed daily updates which I LOVED and sent so many photos each time she visited. Will definitely book her again 🥰

Dana did an outstanding job sitting our 2 kitties while out of town. She was very responsive to all our questions and needs, and our kitties adored her. Thank you Dana for giving us peace of mind about our kitties while we were on vacay. She'll be my go-to gal!

Dana watched our kitty Finn for us for a week and did a fantastic job! She was very reliable and kept us up-to-date our entire trip. It was so nice to have peace of mind while we were gone. We will ask for her again the next time we go away.

This was my very first experience with Meowtel. I can say in confidence that Dana made it the greatest experience for myself and my cat Angel. It was nice to initially meet Dana to get an idea of who would be coming into my home while I was away. She was very pleasant, friendly, informative about Meowtel and what the process would look like moving forward. She has a great attention for detail and directions. She easily went out of her way to make me and Angel comfortable. Dana sent update every day with some fantastic pictures of Angel. It was reliving to know that Angel was in the best hands with Dana. She even went out of her way to help feed my fish! I'll definitely be using Meowtel again but more so, I'll be making sure I request Dana EVERY time. If you have the chance to book her then definitely do. I assure you that you will not be disappointed at all. Thank you again so much, Dana!

Dana was exactly what we were looking for -caring, dependable and detail oriented. We were worried about leaving our two senior cats but they flourished under Dana’s care. It is the first time they weren’t mad at us when we returned. 😻👏

Dana did a fantastic job watching our cat (Juba) for the week while we were away. She sent us updates after every visit letting us know how Juba was doing. We will most definitely use her services next time we go away!

Frequently Asked Questions

Carlsbad 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.
