Cat Sitting in La Jolla, CA
I know what to look out for when our furry friends aren’t feeling too hot and I know the basic do’s and don’ts... Hi, I’m Edith, and I have been a proud cat mom and Meowtel cat sitter for three and two years respectively. Trust me I’ve been through it all with my kitty Lulu and my amazing cat clients. This means have experience with oral and topical treatments as well as eye drops/ointments. I am also great at bribing our friends with treats and cuddles.
I know what to look out for when our furry friends aren’t feeling too hot and I know the basic do’s and don’ts. I want to keep your kitties safe and happy and I love taking silly pictures of your cats and would be more than happy to send lots of updates via text, pictures, and videos. I also LOVE following instructions and routines, so please do not hesitate to let me know what you and your cat expect of me—no matter how detailed!
I am currently in my first year of medical school, so my days are pretty flexible outside of classes. I understand that looking for a sitter that works for your schedule and cat needs can be difficult, so I want you to know that I will try my best to be as flexible and available as possible!
Learn More About Edith
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for almost two years now! It’s been super fun getting to meet new furry friends.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 1 cat named Lulu! She’s a tortie with lots of energy, but she also is a huge cuddle bug!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I like to give these shy friends the power to lead how our interactions go. I try my best to let them know I’m a safe person to be around but have found that letting them guide how close or far they want me is best.

We adore our cats—the “cancel vacation” level of love. But even devoted cat parents need a break now and then. That’s when we discovered Meowtel… and Edith. From the very beginning, she made everything easy. At our first meeting, I was running late. When I finally walked in, the cats were calmly standing near her, and Momo slow-blinked her like they were already old friends. That moment told me we were in good hands. I asked if she could text us on her first visit just to confirm everything was going smoothly. Not only did she check in, she sent us adorable updates and pictures the entire time. If anything seemed even slightly off, she talked us through it and shared her thoughtful plan to make it right. I had let her know the signs of allergies, and she saw the signs and got them on the pill. But here’s the real sign of how wonderful she was: when we got home, the cats ran up to greet us. Normally, Momo gives me his signature “how dare you leave me” series of love bites—at least a dozen. This time? Not a single nip. Before we left, I explained that Larry has a very particular routine: petting sequence first, then water. I’ve never quite cracked the code myself. Edith? Nailed it in a day. She picked up on both of their personalities so naturally—Larry got his cherished playtime and affection, and Momo had all his beloved toys tossed just the way he likes.

the app allowed me to easily contact Efuth as a potential caretaker and we quickly established her availability and set up a meet and greet. Edith ensured she asked all relevant feedback, questions I hadn’t even thought of. Most importantly our kitty-girls took to her quickly and even our shy one came out each morning with a happy tail and her gentle manner obviously worked for them. I loved getting daily in-app updates and photos from her so we could know they were ok while away. she handled some meds which they needed added to morning food easily and we came back to happy kitties!

Edith took her time getting to know Willow cat, which was not an easy task. Willow is a difficult cat to sit for, but Edith took her time, communicated effectively with us daily and won Willow over by the end. She even worked with us to grove us another day of cat care. Thank you Edith!

Edith was incredible! Shr did two overnight stays for my two cats and I have never felt more comfortable with being gone from my cats. She provided so many amazing updates with pictures, and played with them a lot! I would highly recommend her and plan to use her again for future trips!

Edith did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. She sent me daily pictures and let me know if she had any concerns. My cat seemed very comfortable with her. She also watered my indoor plants and newly planted trees outside. I would definitely request her service again.

We couldn’t recommend Edith enough. We hired her for a week of drop-in’s with our elderly cat (who doesn’t usually warm up to people quickly) and on the first day she sent updates and pictures showing that Missy was letting her pet her. Edith was so kind and had such a gentle demeanor. We got updates every day and even video. I hope she’s available next year when we go away again! Thank you so much!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- 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.
La Jolla 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!

Edith bonded with my cat right away, and they shared many cuddles together! Edith sent lots of updates and pictures, which helped ease my worries while I was away. She was detail oriented and accommodating, and left things clean tidy when I returned. The overnight stays helped my kitty feel less anxious without me home, and I can tell she loved having Edith visit her!

Edith is amazing!!! My little Breezy is no fan of anyone but me. Edith was able to get her to sit with her and hangout! She did an overnight and when I came home, my 2 kitties were so content! That tells me she was wonderful! I will be requesting her again! Highly recommend! I have not left them behind in the 4yrs I have had them so this makes me sooooo happy!

Edith is WONDERFUL! My cat warmed up to her on the first day to be petted and cuddled. Edith provided photos each day, a few short videos, and text messages about each visit. She also raised any potential concerns if she noticed a change in how much he was eating or drinking. I plan to reach out to Edith in the future when I need a cat sitter again. Thanks Edith for taking very good care of my lovable furry monster. 😊

Edith is phenomenal. She’s kind, thoughtful, & responsive. For one sch’d overnight during a 10d stretch, they slept alongside her; my 4 cats adored her. She left a thoughtful gift @ her final feeding. I recommend Edith without hesitation. In fact, I highly encourage you to book her.
