this was Melissa’s third time sitting for us and it was another great experience! When our flight coming home was cancelled she went above and beyond making sure our cat was comfortable for the longer wait for us to get back. so helpful!

Melissa is a diligent and communicative cat sitter. She always takes great care of Bash and sends plenty of photos. Melissa also goes above and beyond -- I was across the country and there was an issue with my keys, but she patiently and calmly let me know and was fine with the extra mile it took to pick up the right set of keys. My boy is always happy to see her and healthy on my return. I'd definitely recommend Melissa for any cat sitting needs for any length of time. I plan to keep her on as my cat sitter for as long as possible!

Melissa did a fantastic job looking after our shy cat while we were away for a couple of weeks. We appreciate the effort she put in to win his affection - this can take some effort not all cat-sitters are willing to put in. When we came back he was happy and healthy. Also as others have commented, Melissa's communication is great. We hope we can secure Melissa again for future trips.

Melissa was great, maintaining the food, water, and litter for my two cats and sending detailed updates with multiple photos each day. She even coaxed my male cat, who is normally extremely shy, to come out from hiding every visit!

Melissa house sat for me with my 2 Sphynx cats. She kept me updated everyday with detailed notes and sent lots of pics and videos. I felt comforted knowing my bffs were in good hands. They got plenty of play and attention. When I got home it was as if I was never gone. They were completely content.

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.
