Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

I love cats for their different individual personalities and for their natural independence but also lovable nature. I have one kitty of my own and couldn't imagine how it would be at home without her. I like to spend my spare time running through Golden Gate Park, making art, and around animals. I tend to take my cat with me when traveling if I can because it makes me sad to think of her at home by herself so I am happ... I love cats for their different individual personalities and for their natural independence but also lovable nature. I have one kitty of my own and couldn't imagine how it would be at home without her. I like to spend my spare time running through Golden Gate Park, making art, and around animals. I tend to take my cat with me when traveling if I can because it makes me sad to think of her at home by herself so I am happy to help relieve some of that feeling for others by cat sitting. I love to cuddle and play with kitty pals but also respect when they want their space. My visits include refilling food and water, cleaning litter boxes and sweeping up, treats, playtime, snuggles, and basic housekeeping such as watering plants and bringing in mail. You will receive photo updates from every visit. I can’t wait to meet you and your kitty!

My cat sitter was nice but I always had to contact her to see how my cat was doing and ask for pictures. In fact I had a lot of anxiety during my whole trip because I was not getting any sort of follow ups until I reached out. The sitter did mention having an issue with the app one of the days but it was the same story at every visit. Maybe I was expecting a little bit more. My previous cat sitter would send me videos, pictures, and occasionally an ***** from my cat letting me know what an amazing day she had. Being in the unknown was not fun.

Fantastic service for our three kitties, we were away in Europe and were kept up to date with pictures and messages every day. It made our vacation so much better knowing our kitties were in such safe care. Very grateful for the excellent service.

Ashley was fantastic, while I was overseas. I would hire her in a second again. She had pictures of the cat and when available. She was polite, professional and perfect.

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 Francisco cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $40.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
