I would love to have the opportunity to care for and get to know your beloved feline friend. I have 2 playful cats of my own and have experience volunteering for animal rescues in the San Diego area. I love playing with cats, spending quality time with them and making sure they are receiving healthy moisture rich meals to ensure they live long and enriched lives. My personality is very calm and inviting and I believe that the cats I’ve spent time with pick up on this very quickly and approach me with that understanding.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 cats myself. My first cat is a 5 year old tuxedo cat named Cleo. She is very majestic and is the queen of the house. My other cat is 2 years old her name is Binx and she’s the silly, rambunctious one who is the most lovable.

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

I would first check with the cat parents to see if the cats have any unsafe behaviors when under stress or in the presence of a new person so I can be aware of triggers. Aside from that I would always make sure to keep away any toxic materials (food, plants, etc), keep all doors closed and be aware of anything else in the environment that could be dangerous.

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

Giving them the time and space to approach me with no added pressure. I would make sure to have lots of reinforcement nearby when they do build up the courage so that they know I’m a safe and fun human to be around.

Courtney took our request quickly. She communicated great and we set up a first meeting with the cats before the sitting dates. She was friendly and sweet and the cats took to her. During the sitting, she text me and sent pictures of the cats and kept me updated. Great experiance!

Courtney is an amazing pet sitter. She is very attentive to our cats needs. She made our cat feel safe and supported even though he is a little shy. She had great communication and kept me updated the entire time she was watching our cat.

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!
