Learn More About Miriam

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

I've been cat sitting for over 20 years for friends and family. I started in high school, for one of my teachers and would watch her very imperious gray long haired Maurice when she was on vacation. I'm known as reliable and practical, having been faced with many cat health problems such as heart attack, kidney failure, abscesses, and dementia.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

The most exciting aspect of cat sitting is meeting your kitties, but my most important job is to give you piece of mind! Thoroughly clarifying and understanding your instructions, communicating with you while you're away, being eagle eyed with doors and windows, and checking for normal cat behaviors.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am local, which means I don't travel for the holidays! Instead I wake up to find which ornaments the cats have decided are now their toys (which is why I only put soft, non toxic ornaments on the bottom feet of the tree).

Miriam was awesome. She is truly a cat person and understood the personalities of each of my 3 cats. She sent me nine photos of them when she did her visit which made me feel so much better about leaving them alone. One of my cats is 20 years old and has to have special amounts of food and she took the time to feed him twice during the visit. Also, this was a last-minute time for me to be away, and she was able to fulfill the time that I needed her to come even though it was a day before. I will definitely be using Miriam. I can if I need her to watch the kitties!

Miriam was very responsive and during our meet and greet she took detailed notes all the while asking thoughtful questions. I am glad I was able to find such a great cat sitter. I would highly recommend.

Being a Meowtel cat-sitter myself, I had high expectations of Miriam and I was very pleased. She followed all my instructions precisely and sent some great photos of my cat. She managed to make a fuss of my ex-feral and left a very thoughtful card thanking me for the booking. Nicely done. I would definitely book her again.

I've known Miriam for 26 years, and the care & love she's shown for her own cats--and any cat she sees--is astounding. She's the only one I trust to watch my kitties when I'm out of town.

Miriam is an exceptional caretaker, as well as a highly responsible and compassionate cat owner and sitter. She is organized, reliable, and consistently demonstrates grace, empathy, and sound judgment—particularly in high-pressure or emotionally sensitive situations. Her calm and thoughtful approach instills confidence, and there is truly no one I would trust more to care for my pet or a loved one. She brings genuine care and professionalism to everything she does.

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 $31.00. 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.
