Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA

I've had cats my whole life and get along with many.
I'm able to read their body language and care for their needs. I have experience bottle feeding my two kittens, Peach and Mango. I understand what it's like to miss them, so l'd like to help others know that their pets are at ease.
I'm WFH 8am-5pm M-F, so I can check in on various times per day. My weekends and nights are also very flexible so l'm able to help keep your pet's routine....

I'm WFH 8am-5pm M-F, so I can check in on various times per day. My weekends and nights are also very flexible so l'm able to help keep your pet's routine.
I'll be the first to say that I pay great attention to how others interact with my pets and how they would treat my home. I want to extend that attention to your pets and your own home. I have experience of tending to round the clock needs, and am very conscientious of treating your home with respect and avoiding any incidents.
For example I have a strong habit of making sure no critters scurry past any doors they cannot pass through.

Learn More About Nick

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

I’ve been formally cat sitting for over two years. I have cared for 85+ different cats as of writing and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity and trust. I have two cats that are my life and I’d want to extend the reassurance I’d expect for them.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The cats! It’s always a joy when a cat has the zoomies and they’re just running wild and being silly. I’m also glad to just keep them company as well.

What is your favorite cat toy?

One of my cats, Peach, destroys every string he can find. Therefore, regular string toys don’t last long. There’s a rod called “Lightning Rod” sold at a big pet retailer that uses braided safety wiring as its string so he can’t bite through it. My cats love chasing after this, it comes with a clip to use with your lure of choice. They prefer the caterpillar ones. I highly recommend it!

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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
