Cat Sitters in San Diego

Your cat stays in their own home, with their own routine

San Diego cats settle into homes that often include catios, sunny window perches, and supervised outdoor moments, environments they would not easily replicate at a boarding facility. Cat sitting drop-in visits on Petme connect you with verified San Diego sitters across La Jolla, Pacific Beach, North Park, Hillcrest, and beyond who come to your home so your cat stays in their own space the whole time you are away.

Petme charges San Diego cat owners 0% commission. The per-visit rate is the full price. You get up to $22,000 through the Protection Plan for eligible vet costs, useful coverage if your cat ever needs VCA Mission Bay or VSH San Diego. Cashback compounds with each visit.
