I'm Hannah
Cat Sitting in San Marcos, CA
I am familiar with feline behavior and my top priority is keeping your cat comfortable. I will be as patient as any shy cat needs, even if that means they want nothing to do with me. I would rather they are not stressed than attempt to force any unwanted interaction on them... I have over 16 years worth of experience in the animal care field, working in veterinary clinics, animal shelters and pet sitting. I do not discriminate against size, breed, or age: I get to meet some pretty great felines every year!
I am familiar with feline behavior and my top priority is keeping your cat comfortable. I will be as patient as any shy cat needs, even if that means they want nothing to do with me. I would rather they are not stressed than attempt to force any unwanted interaction on them. I am used to picky eaters, special diets, and administering medication (oral, topical and injections) so no need is too much for me.
Having worked in the animal care field, I can recognize an emergency, so (god forbid) if anything were to happen, I will act calmly and quickly. I just ask that your kitty’s profile is up to date with all the details I will need so I am fully prepared. I look forward to making sure that you are at ease while you are away, because your furbaby will be in care you can trust!
Since I've left the animal care field as my main career path, I have found a fully remote position that I love! It makes it so easy to hang out with kitties during the day while I'm working on my laptop, with a free lap for cuddles. If you have anything else you'd like to know about me, please don't hesitate to ask!
Learn More About Hannah
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
16+ years. While working in multiple animal shelters, I would also foster 'shelter cats and kittens' that were underage or ill, nursing them back to wellness.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a 15 year old tuxedo cat named Missy. She has been with me through multiple relationships, several moves to different states, sharing her home with foster cats and dogs and is the most unique, resilient and relaxed kitty. She is spoiled by my fiancée and always taken care of when I'm at sits.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Trust your gut when it comes to hiring someone to care for your beloved cat! If it doesn't feel right, that doesn't mean the sitter is a bad person, it just means that it's not a good fit for you, and that is okay. You should feel comfortable and confident in the sitter you hire, because that will give you peace while you are away, and that is what every sitter wants to provide for you!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I give timid or anxious cats time and space. I keep the environment calm and soothing, and use a very soft and slow voice. I sit still to allow the cats to feel that they have the upper hand and can come up to explore me if they feel comfortable enough to do so. I will leave treats or their favorite toy nearby to entice them to come near. I will not force them into a corner or reach for them under a bed if they are not yet comfortable to come out. I want them to feel that they do have a safe space while a stranger (at first) is in their home.

Hannah was so great with our cats! Even our shy boy came out when she was there, and we loved the photos she took of both cats with every visit! Her communication throughout our trip was excellent, and her responses when we had questions were quick. We came home to a very clean house, both the feeding areas and especially the litter box areas, which we so appreciated!

Hannah was exceptional to work with. She took great care of Inky and Sox while we were travelling and made sure we were kept apprised of how they were doing each time she visited. She also had some insight and suggestions regarding the cats which were very appreciated and helpful. We'd certainly invite her to work with us again.

We were out of town and the friend we had scheduled to check in on our cats was unexpectedly tied up and unable to do so. We considered cutting our trip short and coming home, but first checked in "last minute" with Hannah to see if she could help out. She was indeed available and took care of everything! We were so relieved - and enjoyed the rest of our time away. The cats were happy and healthy once we returned home!

Hannah was great. Our cat is very shy and always hides when others are around. Hannah was able to get great pictures of her every day. I was amazed that she came out of hiding while Hannah was here. She must have been as happy with Hannah as we were.

Hannah was fantastic. We did a met and greet before our trip and from the beginning Bella (our cat) was excited to spend time with her. Hannah was easy to talk to and has a lot of pet experience. We went over food/water/litter/house instructions and i left a written copy at our house. She sent daily photos and we texted daily as well just to confirm everything was going smoothly. I will definately have her cat sit again.

Hannah was FANTASTIC! She kept us well updated and sent the cutest pictures. On top of that, she went above and beyond when she discovered ants were getting at the food in the automatic feeders we had set up. She communicated super clearly and quickly with us, and even innovated a solution to keep the ants away from the feeders without us asking. She was a seriously incredible cat sitter and we'll absolutely be booking with her again!

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!

Hannah is an angel on Earth, I cannot recommend her enough! She is very quick to respond, and is so kind. Hannah was so good with my cat, Wyatt. She administered his medication every morning and night with ease. She let me know whenever she arrived and kept me always updated. I will always be asking Hannah first to take care of Wyatt if I ever go on vacation again. She truly is the best!!
