Learn More About Sam

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I love most is how every cat is totally unique. Some want cuddles, some want playtime, and some want to hide under the bed and judge me from afar haha. I enjoy meeting each cat where they’re at and making their day a little brighter while you’re away.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

For new clients, I always begin with a Meet & Greet to learn your cat’s routine and preferences. I review all care instructions, confirm scheduling, and make sure your cat feels comfortable. During the booking, I will provide many cute pictures and follow your instructions so you can relax while you’re away.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

For me, safety is the most important part of cat sitting. I always start by getting very clear instructions from the owner about feeding, medication, doors/windows, alarms, etc. I follow their routine exactly so the cat feels secure and nothing gets overlooked. I always make sure everything is fully closed. When I leave, making sure lights are off, doors are locked, and everything is set the way the owner prefers leaving the house exactly as how I found it. I also always stay in communication during the booking, never afraid to reach out if anything seems off. I want the owner to feel at ease.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

For shy or anxious cats, I’m extremely patient and gentle. I never rush them or force interaction! I let them set the pace completely. I know that building trust with timid cats can take time so respecting boundaries is everything.

Sam is an excellent cat sitter. She’s been my cat sitter for about 5 years and my cats absolutely adore her. She’s communicative and very attentive, relieving some stress when it comes to leaving them behind. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

La Mesa 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.
