Loving And Reliable Cat Sitter

I'm Kaitlyn

Cat Sitting in San Marcos, CA

Hi! My name is Kaitlyn and I’m a lifelong cat lover with years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities.

I grew up with my first cat, Felix, who was part of my life for 10 wonderful years. When I was 10, we welcomed our second cat Lily, my parents current Ragdoll, into our home. Through caring for both of them, I’ve learned just how unique every cat is.

I understand that cats aren’t one-size-fits-all—some are social and playful, while others need patience, space, and time to build trust. Lily is very selective about who she bonds with, which has taught me the importance of moving at each cat’s comfort level and earning their trust gently.

Whether your cat needs lots of attention and playtime or a calm, respectful presence, I will tailor my care to their individual personality and needs...

Whether your cat needs lots of attention and playtime or a calm, respectful presence, I will tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

What I offer during visits:
• Feeding and fresh water (following your cat’s routine exactly)
• Litter box cleaning and general tidying
• Playtime and enrichment based on your cat’s energy level
• Gentle attention, pets, or simply quiet companionship for shy cats
• Daily updates with photos so you feel connected while you’re away

My cat care skills:
• Reading cat body language and respecting boundaries
• Building trust with shy or anxious cats
• Experience with different temperaments, from affectionate to independent
• Keeping routines consistent to reduce stress
• Patient, calm, and attentive approach to every cat
Whether your cat needs lots of attention and playtime or a calm, respectful presence, I will tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member!

Learn More About Kaitlyn

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

I’ve been cat sitting for neighbors and my parents for 15 years. During that time, I’ve gained a lot of experience caring for cats of all ages, making sure they’re fed, happy, and well looked after while their owners are away.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is spending time with the cats and seeing their unique personalities. I love giving them attention and care, and knowing I’m helping them feel safe and happy while their owners are away.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I would advise anyone looking to hire a cat sitter to choose someone who is reliable, experienced, and genuinely loves cats. It’s important to ask about their experience, how they handle feeding and litter care, and whether they’re comfortable with any special needs your cat may have. MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY LOVE CATS!

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 Marcos cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
