Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA

Hi everybody! I am an animal lover and currently have a lot of experience with fish tanks, hamsters, dogs, and rabbits aside from cats. Taking care of cats has been my hobby on the side, from raising kittens abandoned on the street to fostering with Love Your Feral Felines(LYFF) fostering litters of kittens to sick adults. I currently have 2 cats that I rescued, 8 y/o Bubble and 6 y/o Kona! They are my babies and introduced me into the world of being a cat mama.

Amanda was so great with our kitties! Right before we were due to leave, one of our cats fell sick and needed to take medicine. Amanda was a gem, and always found a way to make sure our cat took her medicine - even when tried and true methods were proving difficult. She always kept us up to date and sent pictures too. So grateful to have her care for our cats! And I’m sure they were grateful too.

Amanda was at thoughtful with messaging me on updates with my senior cats. On top of managing litter, food, water, playtime and treats, she helped troubleshoot an issue that came up with the automatic litter box. I plan to have her as our cat sitter again

Amanda took great care of our cats including providing medication for one of them. She is always able to get our shy cat Moki to come to her for pets, brushing or games, while other sitters find Moki hiding under the bed whenever they come.

Amanda was AMAZING! She came by my house before the visit actually started to meet my cats and go through instructions. My cats aren’t the fastest to warm up to strangers, but she spent plenty of time with them while I was gone, and I could really tell. I will definitely have her back next time I’m gone!

Amada immediately bonded with both our cats, even the shy one, during her meet & greet visit. She provided great video and photo updates daily plus txt updates. She watered our potted plants while we were gone. She even mailed us an item we forgot to pack for our vacation, which is going above and beyond.

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.

San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
