I'm Destiny
Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA
I’m a San Diego–based college student, lifelong pet sitter, and proud cat parent of two years. I’ve been caring for all kinds of pets my whole life, but having my own cat really sharpened my feline skills—especially after helping her through surgery and daily oral medications (she was not thrilled, but we survived).
I specialize in reliable drop-in visits for when you’re traveling, working long hours, or heading out of town for the holidays. I focus on keeping your cat comfortable and on their normal routine, whether your cat wants nonstop cuddles or prefers a respectful “hello” from across the room.
What every visit includes 😸✅
- Clean litter boxes
- Fresh food and water
-... Hi! My name is Destiny.
I’m a San Diego–based college student, lifelong pet sitter, and proud cat parent of two years. I’ve been caring for all kinds of pets my whole life, but having my own cat really sharpened my feline skills—especially after helping her through surgery and daily oral medications (she was not thrilled, but we survived).
I specialize in reliable drop-in visits for when you’re traveling, working long hours, or heading out of town for the holidays. I focus on keeping your cat comfortable and on their normal routine, whether your cat wants nonstop cuddles or prefers a respectful “hello” from across the room.
What every visit includes 😸✅
- Clean litter boxes
- Fresh food and water
- Playtime, enrichment & cuddles (or respectful space)
- Quick health and comfort checks
- Daily updates and photos
I’m comfortable administering oral medications, as well as topical, eye/ear meds, and I have hands-on experience with post-surgery care. While I don’t currently have experience with all med types, I’m always open to learning if you’re comfortable walking me through your cat’s routine!
I’m happy to commute up to 30 minutes around the San Diego area for drop-in visits and am open to traveling farther for overnight care during busy travel seasons. I’m punctual, easy to reach, and big on communication! I take an unreasonable number of photos of my own cat, so expect plenty of pictures while you’re away. If you’d like, I can even create a mini “vacation album” of your cat—because yes, they’re absolutely that cute 📸🐈
I’ll keep you updated so you can enjoy your trip knowing your cat is safe, cared for, and probably being told how cute they are. I look forward to meeting your biscuit connoisseur!
Learn More About Destiny
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy learning cats and their personalities, especially since cats are pretty self sufficient it’s nice to see a glimpse of each of their worlds.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a Siamese cat named Katie. She’s cross-eyed but this doesn’t stop her from making the world her own. She’s super sweet and has 3 heart shaped spots all around. (But is willing to steal the hearts of anyone she meets!)
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! Most times I am if my family doesn’t spontaneously plan anything. (They usually give me a heads up a couple days in advance though so I’ll update my schedule as needed!)

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!
