Cat Sitting in Lakeside, CA

Hi there! My friends call me the animal whisperer and I fully embrace it. I’ve had my own cats my whole life and have been pet sitting for over 10 years, so I consider myself well versed in animal care. I have also worked with cats at a pet resort and learned a lot about the different breeds.

I am a freelance photographer so my schedule is very flexible. I am available on weekdays and weekends and you can guarantee you’ll get some nice photos of your furry friend while you’re away. Portrait sesh anyone?

I have one cat of my own named Cleo. She’s 19! We've had many adventures together, lotsa moving and driving up the coast... Hi there! My friends call me the animal whisperer and I fully embrace it.

I have one cat of my own named Cleo. She’s 19! We've had many adventures together, lotsa moving and driving up the coast. She's super well mannered and goes in her carrier like a champ. She trusts that wherever we're going, I'll keep her safe and loved.

I went back to school recently to study animal behavior at the Animal Behavior Institute online. I focused on Zoology so I could work more with the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance in their sustainability department. This means the work I do with them directly helps endangered species around the globe.

I've also taken several courses on animal training and only use positive reenforcement. I believe in creating mutual trust and respect with four legged and two leggeds. It's the only way. I can guarantee that I will take care of your fur baby like he/she is my own and never disrespect them.

I look forward to meeting you both!

Remy was absolutely incredible with our kitty over the holidays. This was the longest trip we have been away from our cat and Remy made sure that our anxiety was quelled. She kept us up to date on Pai’s eating and bathroom habits, spent plenty of time giving her love and playing with her, and sent us some amazing photos everyday. We will definitely be having Remy come back to watch our kitty when we’re out of town again.

Remi was the perfect person to watch our cat Pumpkin. We've never had someone that we didn't know watch our cat before but Remi is great. She sent us constant updates, followed all of our instructions, and even helped with the mail. We will be booking her again this weekend for another trip!

Remy was great! Our cats warmed up to her right away which is a bit unusual. She texted daily reports as well as great pictures. She also alerted us to a possible leak in our irrigation before it got too far. We pla. on using her for our future vacations.

My first time using Remy. At the meet & greet both of my cats came up to her right away. This really surprised me as my boy kitty is very cautious around people. Photos and updates were provided throughout my trip and kitties were very happy upon my return. Its so nice to know that my kitties are well taken care of when I'm gone.

Remy was fantastic with my girls!!Absolutely above & beyond Cat sitter. She sent great updates, photos and kept my little girls very happy & healthy. One of my little kitties is a bit shy and picky about who she likes, so it was great to see Remy break her out of her shell ✨ will definitely work with Remy again in the future!

Remy did a fantastic job taking care of our kitty! KitKat warmed up to her immediately, and we got lots of photos and detailed updates every day. Remy paid close attention to everything, making sure that the auto feeder went off every day and noticing any changes in Kitkat's behavior. We really appreciated it and will definitely book again!

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.

Lakeside cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $35.00. 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!
