I’m a lifelong cat lover with years of experience caring for felines of all ages and temperaments. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, or needs special care, I adapt my visits to their unique needs. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior and know when something might not be quite right—like changes in appetite or mood. My visits include feeding, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of love and snuggles (if your cat’s into that!). I treat every cat like my own and keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. I hope to meet your kitty boy/girl.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting new cats as they are my favorite animal. They all have different personalities and a lot of the time they make you earn their attention (unlike dogs lol). They are the best!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I usually stay local for the holidays so I’m likely available to care for your cat(s) if you plan on traveling around that time

Katie was really attentive and caring to our cat. She sent us photos every day and went out of her way to address an issue with an automated feeder.

Katie was awesome! She was super responsive and friendly. We had a little ants problem and she was a total hero vacuuming up the ants, so they wouldn’t get in the kitties’ food. I highly recommend Katie to anyone!

As always, she did absolutely great and followed my instructions. She also went above and beyond locking up my house, and any kitty leftovers were stored securely.

Katie is absolutely amazing! She stopped by for a meet and greet with my kitties, gave updates and sent pictures each visit. She took very special care of one of my kitties who is very scared of new people and was very accommodating to each of their needs. 10/10 recommend!

Katie was fantastic and took amazing care of my two cats while I was away. She provided daily updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. She made sure they had fresh food and water, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing with them each day. I came home to two happy cats, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Katie!

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!
