Cat Sitting in Chula Vista, CA

I have been actively cat sitting since 2021, although I have grown up around cats my entire life and greatly enjoy caring for them. Not only have I owned them myself, but I have also helped take care of those belonging to friends and family in addition to experience with volunteering and fostering animals since childhood.

I tend to be the person shy animals come to when they desire human comfort. That said, I do not feel that I should impose myself upon animals that don't want affection...
I have been actively cat sitting since 2021, although I have grown up around cats my entire life and greatly enjoy caring for them. Not only have I owned them myself, but I have also helped take care of those belonging to friends and family in addition to experience with volunteering and fostering animals since childhood.

I tend to be the person shy animals come to when they desire human comfort. That said, I do not feel that I should impose myself upon animals that don't want affection. Just like humans, some animals prefer less contact than others, and I believe it is only right to give them their space. As long as they are happy, fed and cared for, I will let them lounge as they please. If a cat wants my attention I will gladly bask in their love and offer tons of play time, but if they're more introverted I don't mind stepping back and allowing them to be comfortable in their solitude.

I have several years of experience volunteering with animal shelters and have fostered kittens since my high school days. I've provided oral medications to cats young and old, and have experience with caring for cats with dietary restrictions, including kidney disease managed by a strict diet; I will make sure to closely monitor the health needs of your fur babies!

Learn More About Roxana

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

I have been formally cat sitting since 2021, although I have watched cats and other pets for family and friends since my teen years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats are one of my favorite animals, and for the ones that enjoy the company, I like getting to know their unique personalities. Whether during cuddles or play it’s always fun to see each cats unique traits.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats, Doctor Severus Strange, MD (9yrs/m) and The Mistress Athena (3yrs/f), as well as a dog Winifred Ursa (3.5yrs/f). Fun fact - my mom has Doctor Sev’s littermates and mother!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! Most of my family is local, so it is easy to stay here for the holidays. When I do travel it is usually in the off-season.

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

I try not to invade their space too much, use a gentle voice as I do activities in the home (setting up food and cleaning the litter). I do try to make sure I get eyes on the cat at every visit with some slow blinks, and I will talk so they get used to my voice. Also if treats are an option I will leave some around the home for them to find after I leave.

Roxana watched my kitties for 3 days while we went on a birthday trip. She sent plenty of pictures and a couple videos that always makes me feel better when I’m gone! shes got fast communication and very accommodating to anything we needed help with while out of town. this is my second time using her services and she will be who I go back to when I need a kitty sitter again.

Roxana was great with my cats. She made sure that they had enough food, water, pets, and play time before she left each day. When one of my cats vomited on the carpet, Roxana cleaned it up for me 👍🏻. I appreciated the pictures and daily updates; it made me feel confident my cats were in good hands 😊.

Roxana was awesome. Our shy cat, Loki, was friendly and comfortable with her during the meet and greet. He typically hides from strangers, so it made us happy to see him so comfortable with Roxana. I took our other cat, Ghost, to the vet the day before our reservation and found out he has a protein allergy and needed to be put on special food. I texted the info to Roxana along with different feeding instructions. She was understanding and flexible. The kitties liked her and we got updates and photos when she was taking care of them. We recommend her and will not hesitate to book her again for future kitty sitting.

Roxana was amazing! They were so attentive and mindful with my kitties. Even my shy kitty came out. She NEVER comes out for a stranger. I could genuinely enjoy trip (and relax) because I knew they were in great hands. Woulf definitely book with Roxana again. :)

Roxana did a great job with Rudford! He is normally a little shy around strangers, but he came out to play with her every day! She sent me lots of pictures and updates of her visits with him and he seemed super chill and happy! 😊

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Chula Vista cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $36.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
