I'm Gina
Cat Sitting in Palm Desert, CA
Being the upbeat, energetic person... I love spending quality time with the cats I watch. Along with playing with their favorite toys, I give them lots of love and attention throughout my visit. I have a real kinship with them and I think they sense that when I am around.
Being the upbeat, energetic person I am makes them feel comfortable and excited to see me.
I have comforted them when they have been sick and help them relax when they have to take their medication.
I believe I'm one of the best "Cat mom's" around and I like to treat them like they are my own children!

Yes, I have a cat named Gracie. She's a gray Calico cat. She's 6 years old. I adopted her for my daughter's 10th Birthday.

Gina has cared for my cat(s) for the past two years. She is responsible, caring, and compassionate with my kitties and takes the time to play and socialize with them. She has always been spot on in regards to staying in touch while I am gone, texting and sending pictures of the cats, and letting me know right away if she has questions or concerns.

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.
Palm Desert 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!
