I'm Gabriela
Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA
I'm detail oriented and will keep your cats' daily routine to help them feel safe and... I've been on the other end of finding a cat sitter, and understand the anxiety of leaving your pet in the care of someone else. I can assure you your fur babies will be loved and attended to as if they were my own. To say I love cats would be an understatement (on my free time I love to foster kittens, help trap and neuter, and visit my local cat cafe!)
I'm detail oriented and will keep your cats' daily routine to help them feel safe and comforted! I understand your home is your kitties safe haven and will make every effort to keep them at ease and respect their boundaries.
I'll provide updates during my visit so you can get live updates of your fur babies and allow for some peace of mind.
*I serve primarily near National City/ Central San Diego area. If you're not sure if I serve your area, please feel free to send me a message before booking reservation.
I typically due once a day visits due to work schedule but if you have any regarding availability or other inquiries, please feel free to message me! Thank you for stopping by, have a meow-tastic day!

Highly recommend! Gaby was so wonderful to our fur babies while my husband and I were away for a week. She sent me photos and updates every single day, even texted me when on her way to visit the cats and when she left - excellent communicator. I loved that she took notes during the meet-n-greet.

Gaby is a wonderful sitter and I will definitely be using her to take care of Jeffrey in the future. She was conscious of his needs, played with him, and brushed him. He is quite shy but warmed to her almost immediately. I received 3 pictures of him twice a day, and an itinerary of his activities while she was with him. Wish I knew of this services years ago, it would have save both Jeffrey and I the worries when I travel.

Great service! She took notes of all the details that I mentioned. Then she sent pictures and told me details about each visit which made me feel better while I was leaving my babies for two weeks. The most important is that both of my cats like her.

Gaby was communicative and played with my cat every time she visited. She checked all the things I asked her to check and made sure he had food and water and clean litter.

She did a great job and provided updates as well as photos. My cat Tater Tot doesn’t take to new people easily and he warmed up to her quickly. It put me at ease to know my cats were happy and comfortable with her while I was gone because leaving them gives me anxiety but now I know they are in good hands and would definitely use her as an ongoing sitter.

I would recommend Gaby anytime! She is absolutely amazing and took excellent care of our fur babies! She is caring and truest lives animals. She sent pictures and played with my kitten until he tired her out! My other cat is very shy but she was still able to pictures of her. I just want to say I will absolutely use her again in the future. She is very detailed and she had no problem doing any of my crazy requests! (I’m OCD about my cats). Again I will say Gaby is the best! I recommend her highly!

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 $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 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!

Great cat person, conscientious and good judgement. Also adapted to last-minute surprise (night we left neighbor cat showed up with her kittens!) with appropriate calm and good humor. She'll be our first call next time we make plans.

Gaby was wonderful! My cats loved having a sitter who played with them and gave them lots of love. She also sent me pictures and updates every day so I knew all was well!

Gabriela was an amazing pet-sitter! i met with her before the reservation so she could meet the cats and I knew right away she was a perfect match with her attention to detail and visible love of cats! She texted me updates and sent photos every time she visited my cats, and I know my cats were very well taken care of. I think the cats even missed seeing her when i got back! Highly recommend!

Both our cautious cat and the big guy come out to play when Gaby visits. Heck, even the neighbor cats stop by. Deeply grateful when we can get into Gaby’s schedule.

Gabriela was absolutely wonderful! She's communicative, reliable, nice to work with and treated our kitties like they were her own. She sent updates so we knew how things were going.. She gave us so much peace of mind..We will definitely be booking with her for all of our kitty sitting needs.
