Hi!
For the last 30 years I’ve had the pleasure of living with cats. From a young age I began caring and looking after cats and kittens with different needs and personalities and absolutely adore them. Whether you have a spicy cat or a shy one I am ready! I also have prior experience cat sitting friends and families cats and hope to share that experience to bring a loving and safe environment for your cat while you are away. I am detail oriented and dedicated and in my free time I enjoy running and hiking or reading a good book! I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your cat sitting needs. Feel free to contact me and share anything that may help me best support your cats needs. I look forward to hearing from you soon :)

Learn More About Domonique

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one 5 year old cat named Bastian. I adopted him as a kitten and we’ve been inseparable since. He’s quite a cuddly boy :)

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I am my own boss at mu primary job and set my own schedule allowing me to work most holidays

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I think the key is patience. I think it’s important to understand that they may be scared or nervous when a new person enters their home while their person is away. I tend to try to have their favorite treats or toys readily available to create trust while providing them to space to approach at their pace.

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.

Santa Barbara cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
