Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA

Hello, fellow cat-lovers and cat-parents! My name is Jonnie; I'm a San Diego native, born and raised. I'm a huge nerd, live and breathe movies, TV, anime, comics, and video games. But most of all? I absolutely adore cats! I have an eight-year-old tortoiseshell calico at home named Harely-Quinn whom my wife and I love more than words can say. I am a lifelong cat aficionado—I see a cat on the street? I will drop everything I'm doing in an attempt to pet it and make sure it's safe and uninjured... Hello, fellow cat-lovers and cat-parents! My name is Jonnie; I'm a San Diego native, born and raised. I'm a huge nerd, live and breathe movies, TV, anime, comics, and video games. But most of all? I absolutely adore cats! I have an eight-year-old tortoiseshell calico at home named Harely-Quinn whom my wife and I love more than words can say. I am a lifelong cat aficionado—I see a cat on the street? I will drop everything I'm doing in an attempt to pet it and make sure it's safe and uninjured. If there's a piece of pop culture or paraphernalia that involves cats? Count me in!

Cats and their health/happiness is extremely important to me, so rest assured, if you choose me as your sitter, your fur-baby will be in great hands! I have ample experience with transferring cats to crates for transport, administering flea medication and eardrops, adhering to a specialized diet, playing until neither of us can continue standing upright, and am happy to risk a few bite and claw marks in the pursuit of giving a cat the love and attention it deserves.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting on and off for friends and relatives for several years, including feeding them, cleaning up after them, spending quality time with them, giving them ample amounts of attention and care, as well as administering medications, if applicable.

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

I like to do a thorough once-over of the home (while making sure not to violate anyone's privacy) to check for open doors or windows, possible escape points a particularly mischievous cat could take advantage of, making sure there's no stray plastic or small objects they could swallow and hurt themselves with, and to check for any items lying around that could prove potentially hazardous or fatal to cats, such as certain types of plants or flowers. If any such items are discovered, I would take measures to either remove them or move them to a location inaccessible by the cat (after consulting with and getting permission from the owner, of course).

What is your favorite cat toy?

There's a type of toy my cat really loves that is essentially an unbent, very thin and wobbly wire hanger with a few pieces of rolled paper hooked on the end. It makes a crinkly noise when it touches surfaces, and very subtle movements with it can mimics the way an insect flies, which makes most cats I've tried it on go crazy for it.

Jonnie took care of our cat, Piper, for two weeks while we were on vacation. Piper is a very shy cat but Jonnie put in great effort to get her to warm up to him. He was very thorough with his updates to us both during and after the visits and arrived when he said he would. While we were away, we had an ant infestation and Jonnie went above and beyond cleaning them up and trying to contain the issue for us. We felt so at ease knowing Piper was being well taken care of while we were away and would recommend Jonnie to anyone in need of a dedicated and attentive cat sitter!

Thank you so much Nicole for your generosity and kind review! Piper was shy, but I could tell she was a sweetheart and I would happily try again! 😊

As always, Jonathon took great care of our kitties while we were traveling overseas. The daily photos/messages he sent to us put our minds at ease and made us smile. He kept the home front nice and tidy too - litter-free floor. Thanks for letting us fully relax on our vacation 🙂

It's always hard to leave our pets behind when going on vacation. You can't help worry about their well-being... especially if a stranger is taking care of them. Jonnie quickly put our minds at ease upon meeting him. Annie was taken well care of and pics/videos were sent daily for peace of mind. Thanks to Jonnie, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our time away from home. We highly recommend him for kitty sitting :)

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!
