Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA
I’m a compassionate and observant cat lover who’s ready to help! I have years of experience taking care of, loving, and playing with my two cats. Good company and play time are essential to keeping cats stress free while you’re away, I know what a difference it makes when you get to come home to a happy cat :). Having a stranger in your home isn’t always the first choice, so I treat every space with the ultimate respect.

I’m a compassionate and observant cat lover who’s ready to help! I have years of experience taking care of, loving, and playing with my two cats. Good company and play time are essential to keeping cats stress free while you’re away, I know what a difference it makes when you get to come home to a happy cat :). Having a stranger in your home isn’t always the first choice, so I treat every space with the ultimate respect.
I live in the Clairemont area with my husband and two cats, I am an interior designer by trade, working from home with a flexible schedule. I’m very detail oriented and can help administer medications and help document or report back on any behavioral or litter box using patterns if you need. I have personal experience with high-needs cats and know the peace of mind that comes from a communicative, attentive cat sitter. Pictures and text updates are the best!
Learn More About Sarah
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two kitties, a male tabby cat named Toby and a female lynx point simese named Wren. Wren is incredibly playful while Toby is easily stressed, it’s quite the dynamic to manage but we’re a happy family.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Go with your intuition, many people here are capable of doing the job, but who will leave you feeling the most comfortable while you’re unable to be there for your best friend(s) in person? Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s not! I’m here to help either way.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I have a lot of experience with this one, when Wren was a kitten from the streets it took a lot of patience to build trust, and understanding her tendency to hide and where she hid helped us be there for her overall wellbeing and physical health. Toby is anxious and very sensitive, knowing the signs and being there to play without crossing boundaries is important. Clean litter, water, a quiet environment without fast movements, and access to food can go a long way.

This was our first time using a pet sitting service and couldn't have been happier with Sarah. After our meet and greet we felt very comfortable giving her access to our home and caring for our cat. We received daily updates with pics and vids, and she was exceptionally sweet, caring, and reliable.

Sarah was great! She kept our baby company & played with her every day we were gone. She also sent videos & pics so we could see how our kitten was doing while we were away. Would definitely use her again

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!
