Cat Sitting in Oceanside, CA

Cat related skills include adopting a Cat from my apartment complex that was kicked-to-the curb because tenant said" to many mouths to feed you gotta go.

My go to meal for Cats is chicken and water because cats don't get enough water in there system, and no Cats don't like milk. Most adult cats are lactose intolerant like myself.

So I took kitty in and said I will eat less so she could have proper nutrition. I'm big on Nutrition, found out Cats are Obligated Carnivores, unlike dogs and humans omnivore's who can adapt to plant based diet, a cats body is biologically wire to process meat.
My go to meal for Cats is chicken and water because cats don't get enough water in there system, and no Cats don't like milk. Most adult cats are lactose intolerant like myself.
I would conduct my visit my entering quietly and introduce myself softly to not startle a nervous cat and insure I close the door securely behind me, so kitty don't dash out the door.
Then I would locate kitty and kneel down to their level so I don't look intimidating and hold out my index finger so they can greet me like another cat nose-to-nose.
My personality is easy going and laid back, not frantic or hyper which is why Cats like me.
What sets me apart from other sitters is that I focus on Cat language and let the cat come to me and never force interaction. I also understand Cats dietary and environment needs.
My visit work flow would consist of:
1. Strict entryway safety to prevent door-dashing.
2. Sanitize food and water stations before refilling.
3. Clean litter box scooping and area clean-up.
4. Dedicated play time with whatever toys available or quiet companionship for the shy ones.
5. Flawless communication, comprehensive updates include Bright clear photos of their Cats eating or playing. However often is required.

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.

Oceanside cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!
