I'm Cindy | Cat Sitting in Oceanside, CA
Meow to you, fellow cat lover! My name is Cindy and I live in Oceanside. Throughout my life, I have been a caring mommy to several cats - two of which lived to be 20! I've since added the sweetest little Jack Russell to the mix by the name of Bogart. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am pet CPR certified. I love being able to work out of my home now. That means my availability is very flexible. I am a former television and radio broadcaster of 25 years who turned to writing professionally. My book (Before the Rooster Crows Twice) was just published in March - very exciting! I own a house in Maine which I run as a vacation rental. It's exciting to meet the guests online. And the most fun job I have is this! I started boarding and caring for cats and dogs professionally about 7 years ago. Helping animal lovers care for their pets is so rewarding. As you already know, felines are super independent, but despite their oftentimes aloof demeanor, they want and need our love and affection. When parents are away and cannot provid...

Cindy's Reviews
Heather
Cindy is super responsible and full of common sense and kindness. She sends lots of pictures and an update everyday. My cats are normally very shy around new people. They are already warming up to Cindy.
Bruce
Cindy was wonderful with our furry monsters ! A bonded pair of American shorthairs who are a daily challenge for us were Cindy's challenge on our long weekend up the coast. Cindy was very pleasant and very capable during our initial interview. Her performance during the reservation was very high quality and that gave us comfort that the cats were in good hands and were well attended during the whole reservation. We especially enjoyed the videos and still photos provided daily. What a pleasant experience -- we'll be back for Cindy's support on our next trip ! Thanks so much, Cindy.

Cindy did an amazing job with our kitties! (and our tortoise!). she was even able to get one of our shy younger ones to come out and get treats and pets! she always goes above and beyond for our babies, and leaves the house really clean for when we get home. thanks so much Cindy! until next time!

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Oceanside cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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.
