I'm Joella | Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA

I’m excited to befriend your cats! I always will work to gain your cat’s trust through gentle introduction, playtime, and lots of petting, if your cat enjoys it. Of course I will make sure to check your cat’s food, water, and litter box to ensure they have everything they need. I love animals! I grew up with dogs and cats, and I’ve worked as a rancher raising 25+ animals...

Learn More About Joella

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats named Sesame and Baby! Sesame is a large 2 year old Siamese cat that loves walking with my dog and is a bit of a scaredy-cat. Baby is a 7 year old tabby with an attitude! She acts like the queen of the house, despite being adopted after Sesame and being much smaller. She loves human attention and is very demanding to receive pets.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My typical process for working with a new cat parent is really working hard to build trust between myself and the cat, as well as their client. I make sure to communicate with the pet parent to ensure I receive any vital information and to keep them informed on how their cat is doing.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available during holidays! I’m fortunate to have a pretty flexible schedule, and I know the holidays are a busy time for travel, so I try my best to remain available to care for your pets during these times.

Joella went above and beyond to care for my medically fragile kitty! Joella took detailed notes at the meet and greet and administered the medications wonderfully. They took Poppy’s blood sugar which was helpful for me to know how she was doing. I received many text updates and photos. Joella went above and beyond cleaning up kitty messes and ensured I was aware. Would recommend!

Joella is highly recommended! She was a prompt communicator and provided updates and photos at every visit. She went above and beyond and even helped out with some small tasks in the house. She clearly has a passion for cats and our cat immediately felt comfortable with her.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $34.00. 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.
