Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA

Meowdy! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. Cats are the best! It amazes me how my comforting it is to care for them. I’ve had cats for most of my life. I’ve been a pet sitter for 15 years. It’s such a fun and rewarding job.

I promise to care for your kitties as if they’re my own. Their health/well being is my top priority. I will send you detailed updates and lots of pictures/videos. I will respect you, your cats and your home...

I’d be happy to bring in your mail/packages and water your plants however, I’m currently unable to lift more than 10 pounds due to an injury. Looking forward to hearing from you! 😸

A few other details:

-Please let me know if anyone else will be in your home while you’re away. Even if they’re planning to come while I’m not there.

-While traffic may affect exact timing, I always aim to arrive as reliably as possible.

-For clients who prefer guests to remove their shoes, please note that I have orthotic inserts and need to keep my shoes on. I’m happy to wear shoe covers.

Learn More About Julie

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

I’ve been a pet sitter for 16 years! It’s such a fun and rewarding job. I grew up with cats and dogs. Then a couple friends asked me to pet sit for them and it took off! I have always worked with cats the most. I’ve been with Meowtel for 5 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

How can I pick just one thing?! I love bonding with the kitties and watching them warm up to me. Especially the shy ones! I love cuddling and playing with them. Who doesn’t? I also enjoy giving kitty parents peace of mind. It feels very rewarding.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have 2 adorable cats. Maya and Frank. We believe that Maya is part Norwegian Forest cat! She’s so floofy and sweet. Frank is a tabby and most importantly a big goofball. They’re both love bugs. Frank can be known to cause some mischief but his silly personality makes up for it. My husband takes care of them while I’m working.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Trust your gut when picking a sitter. It’s an important decision. Feel free to ask us questions. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible. Writing out instructions definitely helps us.

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

I’m very big on double or triple checking things. Especially door locks, alarms, how much food and water the cats are consuming, etc. I’ll always alert cat parents if I notice anything out of the ordinary with their cat.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I’m available most holidays. Even if I’m not available, let me know the dates you need and I can try to find another sitter for you!

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

I let them come to me unless a cat parent tells me otherwise. I speak to them in a soft and gentle voice. I make sure to not make any sudden movements around them. I have a lot of experience with kitties like this and they usually end up being some of my favorites! I love when they warm up to me and start to feel more comfortable every visit. It seriously warms my heart!

Julie, was amazing! My fiancé and I are two overprotective parents to a “furbaby” that has a reputation for being less than welcoming to strangers. He’d only been boarded once before and Julie was our introduction to using a cat sitter. We were very lucky to have found her. She was patient, flexible, and impeccably communicative with us. More importantly, she was sweet and attentive to our cat. We’ve had veterinarians tell us he was “horrible” and she was nothing but positive and understanding of his occasional off-putting disposition. Overall it was a successful experience from our perspective. If we had to find a negative it’s only that we can’t use her immediately again. Should she ever return to this type of service you would be remiss not to hire her to care for your own pet.

Julie was a wonderful caretaker for my shy boy Tien. I was anxious about leaving him alone for the first time and he has never done well with strangers, but Julie was very sweet and patient with him. She made gentle efforts to interact with him everyday until he became comfortable enough to finally come out of his hiding spot. Julie was also an excellent communicator and very easy to work with. She has very timely responses and gave us plenty of updates while we were gone. I highly recommend Julie for your kitties, especially if you have a shy one :)

Julie is fantastic and always gives great, timely updates. This recent visit she made a point to give extra love to my newly solo cat as this was my first time away since my other cat recently passed, I was a bit nervous she would be lonely by herself but Julie put my mind at ease knowing she was in good hands!

Julie was such a wonderful caretaker for our kitten while we were away for multiple days (she came and checked on her multiple times). She was incredibly attentive, thoughtful in her care, and a great communicator. I appreciated all the thorough updates and felt confident our cat was in great hands. Would be lucky to have Julie as a cat sitter again!

As usual, Julie was purrfect with my 4 boys. She approaches the boys with ease which make them more calm with her and in return, they trust her. she administered medication with confidence which makes it easier for them to relax. if there was an issue with the litter robot, she takes the time to trouble shoot the problem and reach out to me when needed. her photos are sometimes better than mine! having Julie care for my boys while I’m away puts my mind and heart at ease. I know they are in good hands with her.

This is our third time booking Julie to look after our elderly cat Gordon. she has been incredible every time. this most recent booking Gordon had started 2 new medications since the last time Julie had seen him. she took this in stride and easily gave him his thyroid medicine and heart medicine. she also gave detailed reports on how every visit went (how much he'd eaten,litter box use, temperament). I feel fully confident anytime we book Julie and can actually enjoy my vacation without worrying about Gordon. don't look elsewhere just book her!

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 $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!
