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

I have had cats in my household my entire life except my freshman year of college. Therefore, I moved off campus, and immediately went to the local SPCA to rescue a stub tail kitty who would be my loyal companion for many years! He would be the first of many additions through the years after leaving my childhood home, and while raising my own daughter. My friends and family call me the cat whisperer as I have rescued some with behavio...

Gayle is amazing. She’s watched our cats twice now and always goes above and beyond. She made fast friends with our friendly female cat and worked hard over many visits to coax our shy male out for pets. She’s also gone above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of!

Gayle is by far the best cat sitter we've ever had, and we can't believe our luck that we found her! She took care of KitKat for 12 days in a mix of drop-ins and overnights, and she truly went above and beyond in every way. She sent detailed updates every single day with multiple photos, and clearly spent a lot of quality time playing with kitkat (and we could see from the photos and videos that KitKat was loving it!). She also did extras like watering plants and cleaning up, and even texted us to make sure we arrived back safely. This was the first time we'd left our kitty for that long, but with Gayle taking care of her we had no worries at all. She clearly truly loves cats and takes incredible care of them!

Gayle is terrific! I was so nervous about leaving my kitty alone but as soon as I met Gayle for our initial meeting I knew we were in good hands. While I was gone Gayle sent lots of updates and pictures so I felt completely connected. I highly recommend her services! Clean, professional, timely and highly responsible!

Gayle was wonderful with my 2 boys! The meet and greet went well and Gayle was very attentive to my concerns and getting to know my cats. I was very happy with her daily updates and photos. Little Nibbler is curious but very hesitant of new people and I was so happy to see the GREAT pictures of him playing, eating, and getting more comfortable with her. Peter Parker is a love bug and they got along purrrfectly. I highly recommend Gayle and know that she will take excellent care of youur cats :) I will continue booking Gayle in the future.

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

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.
