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
Stephanie
Cindy did a great job caring for our two kitties while we were gone! She’s attentive and detailed and keeps you updated with each visit. Her response times are great as well. Such a nice Petsitter. We appreciate her! :)
Kim
This was my very first time using Meowtel and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Cindy was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She made me feel so at ease, which meant the world to me as a first-timer leaving my kittens in someone else’s care! She was warm, professional, and clearly a natural with animals — mine took to her immediately! Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and I could tell my kitties were not just well cared for, but genuinely loved while I was away. I’m beyond thankful for Cindy and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. If you’re nervous about leaving your cats, trust me — Cindy will take amazing care of them!

Cindy is stealing the hearts of my furry monsters ! When I’m on travel I share all the great pictures and videos with my daughter at college. Thanks so much for taking good care of the cat side of the family.
Katie
This is our third time working with Cindy! As always she is great with updates, medication administration with our grumpy guy and playing with our kitties!

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 $32.00. 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.
