Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

Hi, my name is Brandon. I grew up with cats, and other animals (shocking amount of iguanas), but mostly cats.

Where most say cats are tricky and stubborn, I've always thought maybe they're not giving them a chance. I certainly don't just warm up to someone I only just met, why would they. Once you do have them relaxed around you, they can give dogs a run ...
Hi, my name is Brandon. I grew up with cats, and other animals (shocking amount of iguanas), but mostly cats.

Where most say cats are tricky and stubborn, I've always thought maybe they're not giving them a chance. I certainly don't just warm up to someone I only just met, why would they. Once you do have them relaxed around you, they can give dogs a run for their money on loyalty and understanding space.

Currently there is an old finicky lady name Jasmin who lives with me. She does her thing, I do mine, and we still hangout. Especially after dinner, its tie between she wants love or her tumny is full and to please rub it.

Whatever you choose to do, follow your instincts. Rarely will they stir you wrong.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been cat sitting off and on most of my life. At 44 I have animel sat for friends, family, friends of family & friends since I was 20. Cat sitting out of all feels like breathing air.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Something that is a benefit, I am born and raised here. My family are all over the Bay Area. So pretty much all holidays, even the big ones I am normally around and available.

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

With cats who are far more nervous of you than you are of their claw, the most important thing is to pay attention to their body language. A hiss doesn't mean you'll never be friends, it simply means "back off, not right now." Remember, you're a new and unknown presence, and you're much larger than they are. If something as tall as a house was trying to pet you with hands bigger than your head or pick you up, you'd probably be nervous too. Watch how they react when you approach. Do they recoil, run away, hide, or become defensive? Their behavior tells you how comfortable they are and what boundaries they need. In most cases, only get as close as the cat is comfortable with & sit quietly nearby. Sometimes that means sharing the same room or it means staying farther away while they get used to your scent.

This week

Brandon provided updates and photos of our cats everyday. He payed close attention to our cats eating habits and helped make sure everyone was fed and happy. On the last day he even helped turn over the trash with litter so we came home with a fresh trash can!

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!
