I'm Jin Ha
Cat Sitting in San Marcos, CA
After cutting the umbilical cords, I have thoroughly learned how to take care of newborn kittens-bottle(syringe)feeding, litter-training, wetfood feeding, bowel-stimulation. I have given them painkiller pills orally when they were neuterd&spayed then eye drops and topical ointment when some of them had allergic reactions to new food.
I also have petsit adult and senior cats for my friends and family. I will be able to use an inhaler or give kitties different types of medical care with detailed explanation and demonstration... Ever since a pregnant stray cat gave birth to a litter of 6 in my closet June 2024, my life started revolving around my kitties.

Multiple cats are not an issue for me at all as that’s my daily life but please choose 60min if there are more than 3 cats so I can give each kitty enough play time and attention.
I own an automatic water fountain, automatic dry&wet food feeders and automatic litter boxes so it will be easier for me to handle similar machines with basic instructions. My normal litterboxes that some of my cats prefer get scooped three times a day in my house so your kitties’ litterboxes will be well cleaned as well!
I can also take the trash out and bring packages while you are away.
Since I was a little kid, I’ve always loved animals and been kind to them as we can mean the whole world to them. I will be gentle and do my best to take great care of your babies with so much love!
Learn More About Jin Ha
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
My first ever catsitting was for one adult cat in 2021 for 2 weeks or so. The next one was in 2022 for 7 adult cats my ex had and it was for a few months intermittently with his mom’s help. In 2023 I catsit a senior cat for a week or so then “fostered” a pregnant cat who gave birth to 6 kittens in 2024 and now I am a guardian of my own 4 cats. (3 kittens went to lovely houses)
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I make sure to crack open the door while blocking the gap with my body in case kitties try to pop out then lock the door. I’ll be able to spot immediately things that can go wrong with kitties like plastic bags & small objects kitties might accidentally swallow or loose electric chords to play with. If there is a pet camera that are recording or monitoring, that’s totally fine with me and honestly it’s better that way when the guardian is away. I’ll double check if all the windows and doors are properly closed and locked and no fire hazard is on before leaving.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I am a cat-breathing user. The cat bender. A hardcore old-school-wand-swinging expert. I have been playing with multiple kittens for over a year every day. I did try using automatic toys or a laser pointer but nothing beats imitating a small bug movement to stimulate the kitties.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Never rush. Kitties need to come to you. It’s smart for them to be cautious with a stranger so I’ll stay calm while taking care of basic necessities such as cleaning the litterboxes, refilling food and water. Kitties observe you and decide if they can trust you or not. I’ll try to give them some snacks like Churu to be more friendly but if they are not interested, that’s totally okay. I’ll just make sure to move quietly and slowly so the cats won’t get stressed.

Jin Ha is an absolutely phenomenal sitter! I can not recommend her enough. She was very responsible and kind and patient with my two boys. She spent extra time every day playing with them (she even brought extra toys!) and ensuring they were comfortable and their spaces clean and ready for them. I will definitely be requesting her for all further trips!

Jin has exceptional communication skills and I can think of no one who cares more for animals. She's guided her own cat through birth and cat sitted for my family on a number of occasions, always enthusiastic to provide the highest standard of care.

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 Marcos 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!
