We had Stephanie for a week of over night visits for our geriatric kitty. He suffers from hyperthyroidism and requires medication twice daily. She is able to administer his medication and she sent us photos in the evening when she arrived and before she left in the morning. We could see he was actually sitting with her which told us he was comfortable having her there and provided peace of mind for us. We would use Stephanie again.

Stephanie was great with my fur babies when I was on my trip to Japan. She was able to make friends with my very shy cat and give love to my little love bug that loves to cuddle. I will book her for any future travel that I have. All the pictures she sent were great also.

We've booked Stephanie twice for our anxious rescue cats and it's gone very well. She's excellent at communicating with us about the cats food and litter etc, even though they hide from her most visits. It's such a relief to have confidence in her when we're away!

Stephanie was great - super friendly, dependable, and, importantly, patient with our very shy cat. Addie was in great hands and even seemed to be less stressed when we got home than when family stays to watch her. We will look forward to working with Stephanie again in the near future.

- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.
El Cajon cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!

Found the Meowtel site by accident and wondered if this was the answer to my travel problem. Read reviews, selected my choice and the reservation process was easy. Stephanie was an excellent catsitter and my Polly warmed up to her fairly quickly.Followup was fantastic with daily contact and pictures. An A+ experience!

This is the second time Stephanie has cared for my cats. I came home to well-cared for cats. Everything looked great. Stephanie even dealt with an ant issue that I’ve been battling for years. Happy to say I came home to no ants! I am very pleased with the care my cats received.

Stephanie was perfect. She came 3 times in less than a week. On our first meeting, my kitties came right up to her. They could sense she was a good one. She responded quickly, She gave them love and attention, and was even able to give my one who needed meds them twice (which is not easy). my anxiety of leaving was put to ease knowing Stephanie was there to help.

Stephanie was an amazing sitter for our senior kitty. She was able to carefully & efficiently administer his oral injectable meds and his daily pill. She went above and beyond, cleaning his litter boxes, topping off food/water and even taking out the kitchen trash. We're looking forward to booking Stephanie again.

Stephanie is the best! She was very patient with our initial meet and greet, in which I'm sure I gave more info than necessary ( note to all: be more prepared than I was;) She gave great updates with photos that really helped me feel comfortable and confident the cats were I good hands. I would definitely use Stephanie again!
Rachel

Stephanie is awesome. This is her 3rd or 4th visit with my 3 kitties and I will definitely keep having her back! I've taken 4 and 5 day trips and not worried at all about if my cats are OK because I know she has everything covered. She has even charmed my shy lady who will come out and even play with her. I think the cats are happy to have her and they don't seem as desperate for attention when I return -- I think it's a vacation for them too!

Stephanie was incredible! She was friendly and reliable from the first interaction and continued to be that way throughout our experience. Our kitties were super happy and content when we returned from our weekend trip, which means they were well-cared-for and enjoyed Stephanie as well! She shared detailed updates and photos every visit. We would absolutely work with her again. Thank you, Stephanie for all your care for Magic and Wizard!
