I have been caring for cats for the past 15 years and have equal fondness for kittens and senior cats alike!
(That is to say, I adore them all immensely 🥰) Anytime I see a neighborhood cat out and about or a little cutie cat peeping out a window from someone's house, I feel so lucky and happy— they are the best!! 😍
My cat sitting experience spans 6 years, with numerous repeat clients who value my great communication and highly considerate, deeply caring nature.
It would be such an honor to spend time with your fur-babies, and I can't wait to meet them!!!
Lots of Purrs,
Desiree

Learn More About Desiree
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for 6 years, and I am very adept at understanding cats' needs and what they are communicating through their body language and demeanor.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting the opportunity to meet and spend time with your fur babies, hands down! They are so indescribably adorable, precious, and a joy to be around and interact with!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have one cat named Indi (short for Indigo), and she is very silly and sweet. She loves both cuddles and sprinting laps. Her older sister Violet passed away in May 2026 at 15 years old. I adopted Violet when she was 7 years old, and Indi at 3 months old! They are my world.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
It's perfectly okay if a cat is shy or fearful, as I will respect their space and let them warm up to me in their own time. I meet them where they are at, meaning if they are anxious, I will not approach them suddenly or do anything to overwhelm them. I am very patient and understand that if a great big creature I was unfamiliar with came up to me, I would be afraid at first, too. Every cat has their own boundaries and that's all perfectly well! 🩷

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.
Escondido 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 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!
