I’m a lifelong cat lover who joyfully spends my time around them whenever I can. When I cat sit, I believe in more than just feeding and cleaning! I love getting to know each cat’s personality, giving them quality time and attention, and making sure your home feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m conscientious, punctual, and respectful of routines, always keeping open communication and giving you updates. Your cat’s happiness is my priority. I’m familiar with cats of all temperaments and am very patient with shy / reserved pets. Looking forward to helping your cat feel loved and secure!

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

I have several years of experience cat sitting, the most long-term cat sitting job being for a woman who traveled a lot for work where I would live in her home and take care of her 2 cats. I enjoyed the long-term sit because it allowed me to create bonds with her pets.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love the positive mental health benefits of being around and taking care of cats. I also love knowing I’m helping them feel comfortable while their owner is away.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I was flown out to take care of a cat in another state. This was my favorite cat-sit job because the owner’s cat was a munchkin cat! I had never seen a munchkin cat before in person and he was so sweet.

Genevieve took excellent care of my “boys” while I was away. She was in touch with me during the visit so I knew she was following through on medications, food, etc as we had discussed. She had the kitties playing and even won over my shy boy!

Genavie is a great cat sitter! I was so worried about my old man cat, Ziggy, so I set up an extra visit and Genavie was happy to do that. She communicates detailed info and sends photos and videos so I don’t have to worry about my cats while we are away. I highly recommend her!

Genavie is so great with our “boys!” She keeps their routine, plays with them, gives them their pills and treats and lots of petting and love. I get photos and/or a video at every visit so I can see how they’re doing, and I don’t worry at all when we are out of town. Genavie is also flexible and responds timely if there are changes to the routine. She’s the best!

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!
