I'm Melin | Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA
I used to travel a lot (work/fun) and would feel guilty and anxious about leaving my cat behind. Especially when he became diabetic and needed daily insulin injections, special diet, and TLC. So, I know how important it is to have just the right cat sitter to love and care for my kitties when I can't be there. While my friends were available to help in a pinch, they can be unreliable since they were just doing me a favor. A professional sitter gave me that reassurance that my...

I've had Melin take care of my cats several times over the past two years. She is a wonderful sitter, always gives me updates and really likes the cats.

Julia
Melin has been an absolutely amazing cat sitter! From the very beginning, she took the time to connect with our cats, making them feel comfortable and cared for. She didn’t just drop by to feed them—she really spent quality time playing, petting, and making sure they were happy and content before she left. We also loved how diligent she was with her updates. She sent us thoughtful messages and included the cutest pictures, which helped us feel so much more at ease while we were away. It was clear she truly cared about their well-being and enjoyed spending time with them. We can’t recommend Melin enough! She’s kind, reliable, and genuinely loves what she does. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pets, Melin is the one!

Relatively easy. I am happy Melin took the opening. I would like to have her take care of Rosebud again. She worked hard to help Rosebud overcome real fear and shyness. She was very kind and understanding with me.

Frequently Asked Questions
San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. 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.
