Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA

Beginning with Emma, my childhood cat (did I name my daughter after my first cat? Maybe!), and followed by Isabelle, Henry, Isla, and Charlie, cats have always been part of my family. That is, until recently—when Charlie went to live with my daughter in Oregon.

For years, I’ve happily cared for my friends’ cats while they traveled, ensuring they felt safe and loved in their own space...
Beginning with Emma, my childhood cat (did I name my daughter after my first cat? Maybe!), and followed by Isabelle, Henry, Isla, and Charlie, cats have always been part of my family. That is, until recently—when Charlie went to live with my daughter in Oregon.

For years, I’ve happily cared for my friends’ cats while they traveled, ensuring they felt safe and loved in their own space. Even while staying in Greece, I found myself looking after the local cats from my Airbnb! Cats have always been a part of my life, and I truly understand their unique personalities, quirks, and needs.

I look forward to getting to know your cat—how they love to play, their favorite cozy spots, and what makes them feel most at ease. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I can also administer medications if needed.

Living aboard my sailboat on Harbor Island, I am comfortable with boats and marinas if you and your cat liveaboard too. ⛵️

I can't wait to meet your kitty and provide them with the love and attention they deserve! 🐾💕

Learn More About Nicole

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

I have been cat sitting all my life for friends and family. With Meowtel since January 2025 and grateful for the opportunity to look after cats when their people are unavailable.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Watching the most shy cat begin to come around and express their personality. When their cat parents are gone cats can be stressed so seeing them relax, eat and play is so rewarding.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I am super flexible. I am also available for overnights, early mornings and evenings. My children are grown and I work from home so early mornings and evenings are ideal for me.

Nicole stayed overnight with our cat while we were away for the weekend and did an incredible job! She is extremely communicative, responsive, followed all instructions, and sent the best photos and such thorough updates. Nicole is such a kind soul who cares deeply for cats, and put us at ease taking care of Ms. Vader while we were out of town. I look forward to using her services again in the future!

cannot recommend her enough! She was absolutely amazing with my pets—so caring, patient, and attentive. What really stood out was how flexible she was with my schedule, even when things changed last minute. She kept me updated the whole time and made me feel completely at ease knowing my babies were in great hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals, she’s the one!

Nicole was there to help me out when I was out of the country for 2 months after I had just adopted a kitten. She took care of my cat like her own, helped with training, medicine administration, and created a loving environment. She did a great job keeping me well informed the whole time, with updates and lots of cute pictures. I would trust her with the care of my cat anytime!

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!
