Ruthie took great care of our cat and sent daily updates and photos. She was also kind enough to bring in our mail and take our trash cans out to the curb. I highly recommend Ruthie and would absolutely book her again.

Ruthie was a great sitter! She was very communicative and was able to get my very shy kitten to play. I would highly recommend her as a cat sitter!

Ruthie was the first sitter I have had and she has been taken care of Sunny in the past year whenever I was away. Sunny could be a bit naughty when I was away but Ruthie was always patient and took very good care of him. She sent me messages and pictures daily to let me know how things were doing. I was very lucky to have Ruthie to help take care of Sunny. Strongly recommended!

Ruthie did an amazing job watching Harley while I was out of town for Christmas! All Harley wants in life is to be cuddled and be given attention and Ruthie delivered! She sent regular text and pictures which was really great! Would definitely recommend Ruthie to watch your kitty!

Frequently Asked Questions
San Francisco cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $39.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
