I'm Sharna
Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA
When it comes to meeting new cats, every kitty is different and it's so important for me to adapt to each cat. I really love to take time to get to know the cat, focus on building trust with them on their timeline and making sure I am a safe calm space for them... Hi! My name is Sharna and I am an avid cat lover of about 30 years! I am familiar with the hard work that comes with caring for a cat. From cleaning litter pans for 4 indoor cats at age 7 to navigating the vet care system in my 20's with my two current kitties, I have experienced many situations and feel confident in my cat care skills.
When it comes to meeting new cats, every kitty is different and it's so important for me to adapt to each cat. I really love to take time to get to know the cat, focus on building trust with them on their timeline and making sure I am a safe calm space for them. I have been fortunate enough to connect with many shy and withdrawn cats right from the start. I love to challenge the stereotype that cats are independent and aloof, as a lot of cats are social and adore receiving attention (on their terms) from people.
After graduating with my masters in the healthcare industry, I adopted a beautiful tabby cat named Max from the Humane Society. Four years later I adopted a second cat, a little tuxedo named Gracie, who has become such a sibling to Max. Medication skill-wise, Max, requires a pill each night, so I have become pretty good at pilling him through a positive reinforcement behavioral training method.
I would love to be considering in caring for your fur babies while you are away! Please reach out if you have any questions! :)
Learn More About Sharna
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I truly love and enjoy building relationships with other cats and all the fun playtimes and cute snuggles that come with this.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I have continuously been a colleague's cat sitter for over 6 years and her two kitties are so precious! One of them is usually shy but warmed up to me almost immediately. I found their favorite toys and made sure to snap adorable photos and videos of the kitties daily to send to my colleague. I will cat sit them 3-4 times per year and look forward to every visit with them.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love finding interactive cat toys such as "da bird" and any long string toys that I can run around the house with to get the cats moving.

It was so smooth and I knew Momo was so well taken care of, even though this was Sharna's first time caring for her. She walked right up, and Sharna was very intuitive to her grooming and play needs around mealtime. She also followed instructions well and is very sweet and organized! All the photos and updates were also very detailed and welcome! Will definitely book again.

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!
