Hi there!

Charlie is a rescue who has been with me since he was 4 years old and Rizzo has been with us since he was a kitten! I have experience caring for senior cats, as well as kittens, and will love your little ones as if they were my own...
Hi there!

My name is Leia and I'm so excited to care for your cats! I have two of my own: Charlie (a distinguished gentleman of 14 years) and Rizzo (an energetic 5 year old). Charlie is a rescue who has been with me since he was 4 years old and Rizzo has been with us since he was a kitten! I have experience caring for senior cats, as well as kittens, and will love your little ones as if they were my own. I work at a school M-F , 7am-4pm so I have a certain level of flexibility when it comes to spending time with your furry friends.

I also have experience with health-challenged kitties that require regular medicine/special care instructions. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable that your cat is in good hands! When I'm away, I know how reassuring it is to get a photo or update of my boys so I'll do the same for you! I live in the East Village of San Diego but have a car and can travel outside of the downtown. I'm really looking forward to helping you out and meeting some new cat friends!

Leia was a wonderful cat sitter with a great personality and good honest feedback on the status of the cat. She was flexible and always kept us informed about that status of the cat, especially post surgery and requiring medication. would definitely recommend and use for future visits!

Leia was wonderful during her visit. She always provides videos and photos and it shows that the cat can grow friendly towards her good nature quickly and becomes very comfortable.

everything went great with Leia, the daily updates were so nice to keep us at ease while away from our cats. We absolutely loved the portrait mode photos of the cats she would get. She gave them lots of love and attention and treats. When we got back everything was clean and in order. One of our cats seemed low energy one day, Leia kept us in the loop the whole time and was aware and cautious of his situation. He ended up being just fine, but we felt like our cats were in good hands with Leia.

Leia is great to work with and was easy going when our plans changed. She made sure we were covered, which gave us one less thing to stress about knowing our senior kitty would be well cared for.

leia was excellent as always with our girls. we have a quite shy Maine coon and it takes a lot for her to trust people other than my husband and I, and she absolutely loves Leia’s visits and even knows Leias “sound” so instead of hiding, she greets Leia like family!

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!
