Learn More About Diane

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I worked for Meowtel in Los Angeles about 13 years ago. I am the go-to pet sitter for family and friends.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting and getting to know cats and their cute personalities. I enjoy everything from playing with them to snuggling!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite experience was in Marina Del Rey where the cat started out aloof but we quickly became best buddies. He loved bringing me his favorite toys - so proud of them.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties, sisters Lua and Mochi, age 1 1/2.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I enjoy laser lights almost as much as cats do!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

When I first meet a cat, I move slowly and speak softly. I let the cat initiate the interaction and use praise or treats for encouragement.

Frequently Asked Questions

San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
