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

I have 3 rescue cats that are my absolute whole world; Copper, Chasen, and Lily. I have had cats (and dogs) most of my entire life. I also have had birds (wild rescue care and exotic), fish (tropical and saltwater), and reptiles. I love all creatures big and small! Before I became a paramedic and firefighter first responder, I was a veterinary technician. I also worked in police forensics. I no...

We have booked Charla several times now. She always goes above and beyond and really spends quality time with our two cats. I really think they look forward to seeing her because she plays so well with them. This is saying a lot because one of our cats hates everyone and she trusts Charla. I highly recommend Charla.

Best cat-sitter there is. Our cats are almost disappointed when we get home.

As I’ve written previously (this is No. 4), my wife and I had a wonderful experience with Charla tending to our four cats on this trip — two male Burmese and two female rescues. By this time, all four cats always come running to meet Charla when they hear her voice at the front door. They know her that well! We go through the drill of making sure Charla knows where we keep medical records on all four, how to reach the vet, where we keep the cat carriers, and so on. Information Charla already knows but we go over it because I will always forget. Charla would be comfortable in anyone’s home with cats. We ask her to feed ours twice daily, she checks litter boxes upstairs & down, stays alert for any issues (our male Burmese is a little aggressive) and makes sure all four cats get equal time. AND, Charla brings … toys! We keep plenty of cat toys too, but Charla is the best at playing with our cats. Charla also sends lots of still pictures & video imagery each day so we know how things are going at home. It’s interesting that those stills and video clips are fun to look at, but also give us ideas for playing with our cats when we return. Finally, we sincerely appreciate the time and effort that Charla puts into every visit she makes to our home. Our cats certainly appreciate it; and my wife and I are always confident that we can trust Charla to take care of all four cats and the house while we’re gone.

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.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $38.00. 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.
