I'm Rina | Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA
Hi! My name is Rina and I am a certified cat lady. I have had cats or volunteered/fostered for about five years. I’ve had three forever fosters: Violet (a sleek grandma black cat with stage 4 CKD), Nora (sweet round black cat with cancer), and Goose (a 16 year old grey girl who had IBD). Forever fosters have medical needs and I have experience with administering oral and topical meds as well as subQ fluids. My overall cat experience includes kittens, healthy cats, older cats, kidney cats and cancer cats! I also “adopted” Lemons, a sassy 14 year old tortico, when I moved in with my partner here to North Park, San Diego. I’m a full-time marketing manager and have always been WFH. My schedule is therefore a bit flexible since I’ve never had an office. If you don’t mind me working from your home, I’m happy to sit and provide some human company to your fur babies as well! I live in the northern part of Nor...

Rina's Reviews
Nelson
Rina did a great job on communication and engaging with our two boys: Morphy and Neo. She had made a great first impression with Neo who doesn't open up to strangers right away. We were away on vacation for 6 days and booked Rina for 5 and they went well. Although there was a calendar conflict that had occurred on the first day, it was quickly resolved by the next day. Had received plenty of photo/videos and status updates of the cats demeanor and them playing. Helped us alot to have a peace of mind without worrying much about their wellness. I highly recommend her and will be booking her for future trips.

Rina was so wonderful and I highly recommend booking her for your fur babies! She sent us lots of picture and video updates, played with the kitties, and gave them all the food/medicine they needed. She was very sweet, even to our very spicy 🌶 Mia! ❤️❤️❤️
Natasha

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
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 $34.00. 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.
