Maria almost did TOO GOOD of a job taking care of my sweet boy. Since returning home, I have not been able to sleep through the night because he keeps waking me up demanding more pets, since Maria gave him such great head rubs while she was here lol. Also, her updates and photos were so great -- clever, funny, and informative! I'll definitely use her again next time I travel.

Maria was a fantastic sitter! I have never had to hire anyone to check on my cat, but I needed someone to come just in the mornings for my (extremely) shy boy. Unfortunately he never came out but she made sure he had fresh food/water/litter every day, came promptly during the requested hours, and was responsive at all times. Will absolutely book with Maria in the future ☺️

Maria did a fantastic job taking care of our cats. Our male cat loved her immediately. Maria was even able to get our shy cat to come out and play with her. She sent us a lot of great pictures and updates. She exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely try to have her take care of our cats in the future.

Maria was able to get a couple of my furries to come up to her on the intro visit which is rare. she may just be a cat whisperer. I am feeling very comfortable heading out on a 4 day trip and having her stay with my boys and grand kitty.

Maria was amazing at caring for our kitties while we were away! It really took the stress off knowing that our babies were in such good hands. We got all the updates for each visit with cute photos and felt so reassured knowing they warmed up to her so well! She really went above and beyond thank you Maria! will definitely reach out if we need someone again ❤️

Maria was great! Her updates gave us piece of mind while we were away. Her pictures were honestly some of the best we have ever seen of four cats. Thank you, Maria!

Featured Cat Sitters Near Escondido, CA

Frequently Asked Questions

Escondido cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
