Sara was wonderful! From the initial meet-and-greet, my usually shy cat came right out to her for pets and play. I really appreciated her thoughtful updates with photos and videos, and my place was spotless when I returned. She was also available over the Christmas holidays, which was such a relief. Sara consistently checked in to make sure I was happy and had everything I needed—highly recommend!

Sarah was fantastic. She came and met with us before hand to get all the instructions so she was prepared to take care of our cat. She followed all our guidance and our cat loved her. She sent regular messages and photos to keep us updated. She was an awesome, responsible and caring person. We would 100% use her again!

Sara was truly above and beyond. Not only is she a kind person, but she also has a unique ability to connect with and care for cats. I have a very anxious cat who isn’t comfortable around anyone besides me. But the moment Sara walked in and saw him, he relaxed and felt at ease with her. My jaw dropped in shock! I’ve always been nervous about leaving my kitties, but Sara made it possible for me to relax and enjoy my time away. She truly exceeded expectations, sending me plenty of adorable photo updates and even bringing her own toy to play with them! Additionally, one of my cats had a cut on his paw. Sara was fantastic, she made sure to check on him regularly, kept me updated with photos, and monitored how his paw was healing. I can’t express how much that eased my stress during the trip! All in all, Sara is an outstanding person and an incredible cat sitter. If you ever need your kitties to be well cared for and want 150% peace of mind, Sara is your gal. Thanks, Sara!!

Sara was amazing! My cat Keeks warmed up to our immediately at our meet & greet. Keeks is usually very shy and hasn’t really let even my visiting adult children see her, much less pet her. Within 20 minutes, she was letting Sara pet her and she even let herself get picked up and held!! I was wondering who this cat was all of a sudden! This totally set my mind at ease. During my weekend away, Sara sent multiple pictures of Keeks interacting and gave me full reports of everything she did. Sara went above and beyond! I came home to a happy cat who had obviously been well cared for. I’ve already rebooked Sara for another week when I’ll be away. I highly recommend Sara and am so happy I found her.

Sara did an excellent job watching Charlemagne while we were away. She sent many picture and video updates, and clearly enjoyed the time she spent with him playing and visiting. He was very happy and healthy upon our return.

Sara was absolutely amazing with our four kitties! It was our first time leaving our two youngest ones, and it was their first time meeting new humans besides us 😺 All four of them fell in love with and trusted Sara immediately. Sara sent us many photos and updates, and it was the highlight of our day opening them to see what our babies were up to. We will be sure to book Sara again in the future!

We had the best experience with Sara! This was our first time using Meowtel & were very impressed. She was so quick & willing to help when we booked last minute. Our kitty had to wear a cone since she recently developed a hot spot. Sara was great at managing this & applying ointment while we were away. There was amazing progress once we returned. Sara provided the most thorough updates that made us feel so comfortable with our time away. She gave both our kitty & the house the best care. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future ☺️

Sara took great care of Alex and sent me daily update messages and pictures of her being brushed , cuddling, purring, eating, sunbathing. Someone else said "cat whisperer" in a review and I fully agree!

Sara is an angel. I was out of town for a week and she came to visit my Luna every day! She sent lots of photos daily, along with videos. I felt safe leaving Luna at home for so long because of Sara! I will definitely be booking her in the future when I travel again.

We were super nervous leaving our 3-month-old kitten Toast for the first time but Sarah is truly Meowy Poppins! From the moment she walked in, Toast (our little ragdoll) took a liking to her right away. She has such a warm, calming presence, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. Sarah kept us updated with the cutest photos and gave Toast so much love and attention it put all our worries at ease. We came home to a happy and purring kitten Can’t recommend her enough. She’s a total superstar! 💕🐾

Sara watched my two cats for about 10 days while I was gone. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat nanny or “Meowy Poppins” as she says 😻. she went above and beyond and even taught me a new way to feed one of my cats who eats too fast that prevented her from throwing up. she thinks of everything and does it before I could even ask. need to plan another trip soon so she can come back and hang with my cats 😻😻

Sara did another great job with watching over my 2 kitties. One of them needs meds 2x a day. This time around, they were being shy and aloof because, you know, cats are moody. 😆 She was able to coax them to be more social. I appreciate her efforts!

Sara was a lovely cat sitter! She was responsive when I initially requested her. When she came over for the meet and greet, she took time to get to know both of my cats, including the one that’s a little shy. She sent great pictures and videos of the cats happily hanging out and eating. Would absolutely rebook!

Sara took really good care of my two babies. One of them takes a couple of meds and Sara did a great job with that. My shy girl didn't run off and Sara was able to give her pets and affection. I appreciate Sara so much! She' is my go to cat sitter. 😸

Sara is a cat whisperer. Our cats our shy but when Sara comes to take care of them they come right out to play with her. Sara is very detail oriented send communicates very well. She takes great care of the cats, following instructions well and being very proactive about anything that might need to be done. I highly recommend booking Sara if you get the chance.

Sara went above and beyond. Our meek kitty was charmed by Sara from the meet and greet and we got daily reports and photos of their visits. Would not hesitate to have Sara pet sit again!

My boyfriend and I booked a reservation with Sara to watch our two cats while we were out of town. We would highly recommend Sara to anyone who needs a cat sitter. She is very thorough and a true cat lover. We were nervous about leaving our cats for our trip, however Sara’s updates gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being so well taken care of.

Sara is the best cat sitter we have ever had. She was responsible and took care of our cats well. She is very knowledgeable about cats and our cats got comfortable with her quickly. Her daily messages made our vacation away from home much more relaxed. It would be difficult to find a cat sitter who would be better than Sara.

This was our 4th time booking with Sara & she’s always such a joy! She’s now one of our cat’s favorite people. Sara has such a gift with kitties and provides such peace of mind when we’re gone. We’ll continue to book with her every time - she’s our (& our cat’s) favorite 😻

Frequently Asked Questions
San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
