I'm Taylor

Cat Sitting in San Marcos, CA

Hi, I’m Taylor! Your local cat-less cat lover 😛While I am currently cat-less (thanks to living in a no-pet zone), I grew up surrounded by all kinds of breeds. This is my way of still being around cats and giving them the love and attention they deserve! I think I get as much if not more out of this than most of the kitties.

I volunteer at a senior animal rescue, so I have experience with everything from administering medication to helping with pet socialization. Whether your cat is a lap lover or a bit standoffish, I’m known for my calm, gentle approach that helps even the most aloof cats feel comfortable and safe.

If your cat needs someone who’s not just a pet sitter but a cat whisperer, I’m your person...

If your cat needs someone who’s not just a pet sitter but a cat whisperer, I’m your person. I genuinely love animals and am passionate about making sure your kitty has a stress-free, positive experience while you're away.

What you can expect from me:
-I’ll always be happy to be there—your cat’s happiness is my priority!
-Expect lots of love and attention for your pet. I’ll spoil them with affection if they’re down for it.
-I respect your home and will always leave it as I found it. The only sign of me will be your happy, well-cared-for cat.
-If your kitty needs extra time or attention, I’m happy to stay longer to make sure they’re feeling good and safe.
-You can count on me to always take care of those kitty chores—litter box, feeding, playtime, all of it.
-I’m a professional photographer, so you can expect some intentional photos (if they agree to modeling of course) to keep you connected while you’re away!

Looking forward to meeting your feline friend and giving them all the love they deserve!

Learn More About Taylor

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

I have been cat sitting for about 10 years now. I started pet sitting at a young age and started doing it as an actual job in 2018

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The cats! I have a huge heart and love animals more than anything. So nothing brings me more joy than getting to offer as much or as little love and attention to other peoples cats.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Just last month I got to cat sit two amazing rag doll brothers named Vito and Vinny and ended up absolutely falling in love with them. They were so funny and affectionate and had their own unique personalities. They would hide from me and jump out at me, I’ve never experienced anything like ti!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Absolutely! My family was never big on holidays so I am more than happy to spend them with your babies.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I am a fan of the classic laser! I have never found a cat thats not entertained by them, even the most luxurious breeds :)

Taylor did an excellent job with our 2 cats during a longer 2 week trip. One of our cats is very shy, and Taylor made him feel comfortable enough to come out and visit her after only a few days! On top of that, she was on time for visits, communicative to us with pictures, and gave us a sense that she truly cared for the well being of our cats while we were away. We highly recommend considering Taylor for your next trip, and we won’t hesitate to book her again in the future!

Taylor’s care for our two fur babies was absolutely wonderful! She sent us daily updates and was communicative throughout her stay. We have one cat who takes quite a while to warm up, Taylor was very respectful of this and by the end of her stay got some pets in with our shy girl! We would absolutely have Taylor care for our cats again.

I’ve hired Taylor multiple times, and she has always gone above and beyond for my cat, Grey. She is kind, respectful and attentive, and she has somehow made my cat feel safe and comfortable, which is nearly impossible to do given he was once feral. She truly loves cats and gives me peace of mind that my cat is in good hands while I’m away.

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 $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!
