I'm Katie | Cat Sitting in Palm Desert, CA
Lover of all animals & self proclaimed cat lady 🙋🏻♀️ I grew up with a German Shepard (Jake), a Beagle/Lab mix (Miss Megan) and three cats named after Disney characters: Jasmine, Simba, and Oliver. I have over 25 years of experience caring for my family, my friends’, and fur babies of my own; and I’ve adopted, fostered, and volunteered for the Humane Society of Noblesville (near my hometown). I have been cat-sitting for 6+ years for the same two households since moving here to the desert - both senior cats with special needs. With my newly flexible schedule, I’m looking forward to caring for more families who need my help. A ...

Katie's Reviews
Meowtel
Katie is a background-checked cat sitter in the Palm Desert area. Their profile has been verified and their references have been checked by Meowtel.
Yujie
What makes Katie the best sitter is not only because how much she truly loves animals but also how respectful and caring she is. You can trust her with your bank accounts if you ask me. She’ll always leave the house as you left it and my cats will miss her when they see her next.

Katie is incredibly responsible and attentive with our fur babies. In general, she is just a very generous and sweet soul. We have senior kitties and I adore how dedicated she is with their special needs. Huge relief for me when I travel to know they are with someone like Katie when I cannot be there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Palm Desert 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.
