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.

Frequently Asked Questions

San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
