Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA

Hi there! I’m a lifelong cat lover who grew up with two kitties since a young age and now care for my own beloved cat full-time. I understand just how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously.

I’m a lifelong cat lover who grew up with two kitties since a young age and now care for my own beloved cat full-time. I understand just how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have experience administering medications and inhalers, and I’m attuned to the subtle cues cats give when they’re feeling shy, stressed, or curious. I always let cats warm up on their own terms, creating a calm, safe environment that helps build trust. I’m happy to do quick visits to make sure the cats have their basic needs or spend a bit longer to and give them some love and attention!Outside of this I do clinical research at UCSD and am applying to medical school for the following year. I’m looking to make some extra money doing something I love to help pay for tuition! Please reach out if you have any questions 😇

Learn More About Jessie

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to spend time with other kitties besides my own because I find each one is so unique! building relationship where they trust you is so rewarding.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one siberian kitty named Dexter who is 5 years old 🐾 He is curious, mischevious, always likes to be in the same room as me but also maintain his independence!

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

I would prefer to meet in person first to make sure it will be a good fit. This is also an opportunity to be shown where any food, toys, or treats might be in the home and how to access them.

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 $33.00. 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!
