Learn More About Katie

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

A have two boys. Bob is an 8 year old who I've had for 7 years now. I found him living in a hotel parking lot in Orlando. I immediately fly him home with me, and he's traveled with me across the country in my ownrelocation. He is the easiest and nicest of cats. Cappy is a 2 year old who I received a a kitten. He was the last one in a litter from a stray. Nobody wanted him, likely sure to him being black. He is a living and spicy boy who has tested my limits.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love feather or string teasers. They offer a real exercise benefit without leading to frustrating since there is a tangible object they can catch. A feather teaser can get a cat running around, jumping up and down, or just happily batting while on their back.

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

I like to have timid cats take it at their own pace, ensuring not to cross their boundaries. I'll make myself present for them, being around and offering play and treats. But it is up to them to take that. Over time, they recognize that I'm not going to violate their boundaries, and are more willing to approach me.

Katie was an amazing sitter for our older cat with health needs. She sent daily photos, videos, and thoughtful updates that gave us so much peace of mind. When he was acting a little off one day while we were away, Katie took extra time to find him and gently soothe him. I highly recommend Katie as a cat sitter and will absolutely be using her again.

I hired Katie on very short notice to care for my cat while I left the country for 10 days. My cat is a bit anxious when we're separated, since she's a rescue, but Katie played with her a ton and gave her just the right attention she needed. Katie followed all my instructions as requested and let me know exactly what she observed after each visit. As a result I found my cat a lot less stressed when I got home than other times when I've gone away! Katie was also extremely easy to communicate with, and clear, always sending pictures from her visits and very prompt with key exchange etc. I will definitely hire Katie to care for my cat next time I leave town!

Katie was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our cat! She was responsible, communicative, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She went above and beyond to care for our kitty, making him feel loved and comfortable while we were away. Katie administered his pills, ensured he ate his special diet, and spent plenty of time playing and snuggling with him. We would definitely book Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive cat sitter!

Katie made this experience hands down a smooth and easy process. She was so kind, thorough, and super attentive to my girls. It was my first time being away from them for a long period of time, so I was super anxious at first. However, I was immediately put at ease with how caring and informative Katie was throughout the time. Ten out of five stars! :)

Frequently Asked Questions

San Francisco cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
