Hi guys! My name is Natasha and I'd love to take care of your kitty kids!
I have 7 years experience in the veterinary field working as a technician, and have been regularly kitty-sitting for 7 years. I've taken care of all kinds of kitties: senior cats, kittens, diabetics, kitties who need topical and oral medications, cats who need subcutaneous fluids, affectionate cats, shy cats, aggressive cats, you name it! I'm comfortable providing whatever medical care your kitten may require while you're away, and of course will make sure they get all the fun and affection they need, all in the comfort of their own home!

I have a good understanding of the different personalities, behaviors, and needs of cats and strive to provide the best sitting experience for them, whether it be lots of playtime action, super snuggles, or just to respect their personal space. I understand that each and every cat is different and requires individualized care. I like to spend a little time speaking with kitty parents to find out what their routine is and what their cat likes, and do my best to stick to their daily schedule, because we all know cats can be a touch stubborn and appreciate things be done a particular way.

I will also send you a text update and photo(s) of your kitties during each visit. (as long as they permit it of course... some kitties can be a bit camera shy).

I've been a cat lover and owner for all my life, and currently have 3 of my own: Caesar and Sphinx (littermates I've had since they were 4 weeks old; they're 12 years old now), and Jasmine, a rescue I've had for about 6 years. My cats are quite intelligent, so I am always putting out different toys for them to play with and puzzles for them to solve. Jasmine has even learned to do some tricks, like wave, spin, and high-five (check her out on YouTube!---> bit.ly/Jazzycat) I think it's really important to provide our pets with an enriching life regardless of whether we're home or away at work. A lot of people don't realize the abilities of cats, but their mental capability is astounding, it just requires a bit more patience to discover.

I hope you choose me as your kitty-sitter and I look forward to speaking with you! Please feel free to message me anytime with any questions.

Recently I left for a trip and my sitter (Natasha Nichols - San Diego) noticed my cat Jack had some blood in his urine in the litter box and a blot clot on the floor. She notified me immediately and we decided it would be best to have him taken to the vet. She kept me in the loop the whole time and kept this worried cat mom calm! Her background as a vet tech was invaluable as she was able to not only convey accurately to my vet team what was going on with him but she was also able to break it down for me as to what was going on with Jack. We got him all checked out and she was even so gracious to stay with him longer and more frequently to make sure he wasn’t stressed and also to deliver all of the appropriate medication he was given. He couldn’t have been in any better hands! On top of that I still got beautiful photographs and and fun videos of Jack. It’s people like Natasha, who really go that extra mile, that make the Meowtel service wonderful.

Natasha watched my 11 year old cat Jack for 3 days while I was out of town. From the get-go she was very responsive and professional. She helped give Jack is medication each morning and spent a full hour with him each visit. Jack ate extremely well and seemed absolutely smitten. She brought over a box with holes cut out and a laser light to make for a fun play house. The pictures and videos uploaded to dropbox were top notch! I could not have asked for a better sitter (and I am very picky when it comes to who watches Jack!). We look forward to having Natasha sit with him again.

I have 3 cats, and she sent the BEST photos and detailed updates about what toys they played with, how each cat individually was doing, how much of their food they ate, litter box updates, generally much better updates than any other cat sitter I’ve ever had!!! my cats loved her and I didn’t feel any anxiety leaving them under her care. she even battled some ants and watered our plant seedlings and we were so grateful. thanks Natasha!

I was thoroughly blown away by Natasha's level of excellence! She made time for a walkthrough on short notice. Her checklist was thorough, she sent amazing updates & she was perceptive about each cat's individual needs. She went over & above in every way. I couldn't be happier about their care.

I was so thrilled with Natasha. From the time I met her, it was clear that she is definitely a cat person. I was concerned about leaving my older and shy kitty Zev, but Natasha was patiently able to get her to come out and interact, and even sent me photos and progress reports. Natasha put cat videos on the TV so that Zev could have some stimulation between visits. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that Zev was well cared for. I would happily recommend Natasha to anyone!

Natasha is amazing! always on time and very attentive. My cat requires some medicine and has some chronic tummy issues so I worry when I need to leave her. However, Natasha takes all the worry away! Extremely responsible and sends great updates and pictures. Will definitely book her again?

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 $32.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
