Gayle is absolutely wonderful with my boys, sends amazing photos, and even keeps up with the food for the strays outside. I truly don’t have to worry about my boys when she is watching them and have peace of mind that they are being well cared for when I’m gone.

Gayle always goes above and beyond for our babies. I know that they will be in good hands if Gayle is watching them. She takes multiple pictures and sends detailed updates. She puts on movies for them to watch! I highly recommend Gayle for all your cat sitting needs!

Gayle was wonderful to work with. she was able to come out and meet my boy on short notice and he loved her visits. she was communicative and sent great photos and videos. I felt comfortable knowing she was coming to spend time with him. I’d recommend her every day.

Gayle was amazing. I recommend her for sure. It was my first time leaving my cat alone and I wasn't worried at all with Gayle watching her. She did everything I asked and did her best to make sure my baby was comfortable and well. I would definitely hire her again.

This was our second time with Gayle as our cat sitter and she was amazing. she provided detailed updates and the cutest pictures. She took good care of our 2 babies, ensuring to give our asthmatic boy his inhaler per instructions. She even played movies for our babies to watch. Gayle is the best and our cats love her!

With two senior kitties, one of whom needs twice daily insulin shots, it’s a bit nerve-wracking to leave them even for a short time. But Gayle gave us great peace of mind. She followed our very specific instructions with great care and it was such a relief to know that they were in good hands over the holidays. Thank you!

Gayle takes wonderful care of my 2 cats. Feeds them, plays with them, and cleans out their litter each visit while sending wonderful photos of my boys and detailed updates. She even helps with some of the neighborhood strays that I feed. Gayle is absolutely wonderful!

This was our second time booking Gayle, and she again went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was taken care of in every way. She got her to take her medication, fed her and played with her, and I could tell from the many photos she sent that KitKat really loved her! Gayle is also incredible at sending very detailed updates so that we know that all is going well. She's the best sitter we've ever had!

This is the second time booking with Gayle and I cannot sing her praises enough. Being away from pets can be scary, not knowing if they’re ok, but Gayle is so reassuring and takes amazing photos to show they’re safe and happy. She’s also great at playing with them and noticing when they have needs you didn’t plan for (like needing a second water bowl because it’s an extra hot week). if you’re looking for an amazing pet sitter-Gayle is the right pick!

Gayle was an amazing sitter. She kept us updated with wonderful photos and details about our babies each day that we were done. She was able to administer an asthma inhaler for our asthmatic baby with no issues. We could tell she really cared about our cats so that gave us peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Gayle for all your cat sitting needs.

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 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.

This was our first time with a cat sitting service - our sitter backed out last minute. WE were a bit anxious but Gayle eased all our fears. She came over for the meet and greet and we felt like we had made a new friend. The updates and communication were great and we were able to focus on our time with family knowing our kitties and our home were in great hands. Our big orange cat warmed up to Gayle quickly and she was even able to get acquainted with our very shy scared grey tabby cat. When we came home they were happy to see us and very clearly well taken care of. I would 100% recommend Gayle and we will be using her again in the future.

Gayle was available last minute when our other sitter suddenly became unavailable for a few days we needed them. So Gayle was understanding of this abd able to care for our kitties with only a few days notice which we so appreciated! She communicated well, my cats went right up to her for some love, and she made sure to sweep up after my cats spilled litter / food around. Thank you again !!

This was our first time with a cat sitter. Gayle responded to the reservation and any questions quickly. She met the cats beforehand and already knew how to take care of the cats so we had to inform her of very little. Every day she visited them we got updated with how they were doing and pictures which were better than the ones we could get of them. A+ experiance and sitter and will use this service and Gayle again for our future needs

It's been a long time since we've taken a vacation, so we were nervous about being away from our 4 kitties, especially our senior kitty that needed meds and is a picky eater and another kitty that can be a bit bossy. Gayle was very reassuring and put us at ease. She texted updates and took pics. We felt better as each day went by that she was taking care of them. Thanks Gayle!

Gayle is a cat sitter I booked for the second time, and absolutely happy with her every time. Definitely my go-to sitter, as she was able to find a common language with my cat, who has trouble connecting with anyone but me. Correction: everyone but me and Gayle.

We have been using Gayle to watch our kitties when we go out of town for almost a year now. She is seriously the best and has basically become a little extension of our family. The cats love her, and we are so happy we have someone that not only loves our cats as much as we do but that we can also rely on to show up and properly feed/ medicate, as one of them has special needs. Gayle always sends really cute photos and updates. She’s even left us little notes and gifts. Gayle, we don’t know what we would do without you! If you need a trustworthy person to watch your fur babies so you have peace of mind, look no further than Gayle.

I have never left my senior cat with a stranger to care for her before, so I was a bit of a nervous Nelly using Meowtel for the first time. However, Gayle is so sweet and friendly and put me at ease with her lifetime experience caring for cats. I felt loads more comfortable having my cat be with a "cat person" instead of a dog person through Rover. Gayle made the whole experience as low stress for me as possible (even though I felt like a crazy cat lady with all my detailed instructions and feeding specifications) and she didn't even bat an eye when I added my two newly adopted kittens into the mix! I was out of state and out of the country for the days that Gayle took care of my fur babies and I'm happy to say that everyone was as happy as a clam when I returned. Believe me when I say I had somewhat complicated feeding and medication instructions for these 3 cats and Gayle managed wonderfully. You will know your animals are safe and loved when Gayle is in charge of them! Now I know why she has so many repeat clients. I hope she's willing to take care of my cats if I ever need her help again!

Featured Cat Sitters Near San Diego, CA

Frequently Asked Questions

San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
