El did such an amazing job cat sitting for my 2 cats for 2 weeks while I was in Asia! They sent me photos every day of the kitties and gave me updates on how the kitties were doing. My boy cat, Joey, was being naughty and kept knocking over his automatic food dispenser, in hopes to get more food. El dealt with this every day and came up with the genius idea to duct tape the top of the container so the food wouldn’t keep spilling out when Joey would knock it over. The fact alone that El was so graceful in dealing with this (daily) problem from Joey was very helpful. El is also very kind and I enjoyed getting updates from them and laughing about the food dispenser situation. Definitely booking them again for my next trip — I highly recommend!

I am very grateful to have been able to book El through Meowtel. Luckily, she was available over the Christmas holiday and was very responsive and responsible. I could tell when we did our meet and greet that Chanel would be very safe with El coming to check on her. El was polite, considerate, and very good at taking care of my cat; often, going above and beyond cleaning up after her and giving her attention. She sent my boyfriend and I updates daily when she would come by. Also sending videos/pictures of her so we could have peace of mind while we were away. All thanks to El, Chanel & the house were in good shape when we returned. I am very appreciative with her skills and excellent communication and am hopeful she will be available next time I need help with my girl. Thank you El!!

I had such a wonderful experience with El! It was my first time leaving my cats, and they went above and beyond to keep me updated and ease my anxiety. I received tons of thoughtful updates and photos with every visit, which made all the difference. I felt completely at peace knowing my cats were safe, happy, and well cared for. I can’t recommend them enough!

We enjoyed working with El. She was very responsive and knowledgeable about cats. El did a great job with our emotionally needy and friendly cat as well as our two shy cats who are scared of everyone new. We had no issues with El, and we’re hoping to use her again. Thanks, El!

El took wonderful care of my cutie cat Momo. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly experienced with cats! Momo warmed up to her right away and appreciated the company. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, them saying hi through the Furbo together, and came home to a tidy space. I’d absolutely trust El again for pet sitting Momo again.

El is a cat person through and through, with two beloved cats of their own. They are kind, smart, and responsible — not only great with cats, but also incredibly charismatic and personable. I am confident that anyone who books El on Meowtel will have a seamless and pawsitive experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
La Jolla 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
