Learn More About Lianna

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

I have been cat sitting since 2013 (in addition to dog sitting & little human nannying as well long before then!). I grew up with pet cats, dogs, and birds. Up until Meowtel, I have pet sat professionally for friends and referrals.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Giving parents peace of mind that their fur baby is in good hands while they’re away. I love meeting new kitties and find joy in understanding each cat’s unique personality, since they are all so different! I have experience with all sorts of cat personalities — rambunctious kittens, shy/timid, aggressive, senior, etc. While my approach with each cat varies based on their personality, I maintain a strong level of scrutiny, attention to detail, and genuine care for all of them.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My fiance and I have a 4 year old chonky cow cat named Ms. Vader. She hates being held, but loves belly rubs. She is also extremely hard to entertain and is WAY too smart for us mere humans. Fun fact: I taught her how to sit, high five, and spin for treats as a kitten! (note: because of my fiance's unpredictable/last minute work travel schedule, I am currently unable to do overnight visits since we prefer Ms. Vader not stay alone overnight)

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I have a thorough list of questions/items to verify prior to meeting a new parent and their cat. My goal is to ensure ALL of our bases are covered prior to your departure so that you can enjoy your time away from home stress-free, while I take care of your kitty and home as if they were my own!

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

I will double check home entry instructions with parents prior to the reservation, as well as conduct thorough walkthroughs of your home before departing your kitty(s) to ensure all windows are closed, litter boxes are clean, no evidence of sickness (i.e. vomit, unused litter boxes), and everything is appropriately cat-proofed until my next visit or your return home.

Are you usually available during holidays?

In 2025, I'm currently available for Labor Day weekend and Christmas/New Years.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I have extensive experience with timid, anxious cats that have experienced trauma — I adjust my energy to be a calming, quiet, safe presence for them and follow their pace. I keep physical distance at first & slowly crouch down to their level, typically leading with laying out treats to try and establish trust. I will put my hand out or give them my jacket so they can learn my scent, and will never force myself upon them. I'm good at reading their behavior and will let them approach me when they feel comfortable.

Lianna is known for being the world’s best cat mom. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your cats like royalty, look no further. She goes above and beyond to ensure every cat in her care feels safe, loved, and totally spoiled.

Lianna is an exceptional cat sitter. A dedicated and loving cat owner herself, Lianna is extremely friendly, trusting, and focused on the health and safety of your pet. My 9 year old husky has an open wound where she has a ruptured tumor, and Lianna is one of the only people I trust to watch and care for my dog. She has watched her overnight and been extremely respectful in my home. My dog trusts her, and so do I. She has helped me in stressful situations such as washing my dogs open wound and administering her medications. When I’ve been extremely stressed, I’ve felt so grateful to know I can call lianna and rely on her to come help me take care of and treat her. Your pet is in no better hands than with Lianna- she is a joy to be around with amazing energy, and beyond that she is extremely reliable and trustworthy.

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 $32.00. 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.
