Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Kennedy and I'm excited to get the opportunity to cat sit for you! I absolutely adore cats and have owned cats all 24 years of my life! I have owned a total of 5 cats and 3 are still with us today. Their names are Carmen (12 years), Clyde (10 years), and Clay (5 years) and my family and I have raised them since they were kittens! They each have very different personalities ranging from extremely shy/timid to playful/outgoing so I've definitely learned how to care for... Hi! My name is Kennedy and I'm excited to get the opportunity to cat sit for you! I absolutely adore cats and have owned cats all 24 years of my life! I have owned a total of 5 cats and 3 are still with us today. Their names are Carmen (12 years), Clyde (10 years), and Clay (5 years) and my family and I have raised them since they were kittens! They each have very different personalities ranging from extremely shy/timid to playful/outgoing so I've definitely learned how to care for all cat personality types!

I recently moved to San Francisco in 2022 and I have been greatly missing my kitties back at home. I thought what better way to connect with my love for cats than by providing a helping hand to cat owners in my local community! I also have 8 years of pet sitting experience, most of which have been from recurring clients that trusted me with their kitties over years!

I am a working professional that has some flexibility with my weekly schedule. I am able to do morning and evening visits and I'm happy to talk through any additional visit requests if needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and thank you for trusting me with your kitties!

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

My cat sitting experience dates back about 8 years ago when I started looking after kitties in my local community. Over the years I formed trusted relationships with my neighbors and would look regularly watch their cats throughout high school and during the summer when I was back home from college. When I am able to visit home, I still often help out when needed!

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

Having grown up with a cat that is extremely shy/anxious around people, I have learned how to navigate this dynamic. Personally, I believe the most important aspect when dealing with a shy kitty is cultivating a space that feels calm and welcoming. I always ensure I am giving a shy cat space to take their time to warm up to me. I do this by allowing them to approach me when they feel comfortable. By not pressuring them to play or be pet, it’s allowed the shy cats I’ve watched to gain a sense of trust that I’m not a threat.

Kennedy is a wonderful cat sitter! She looked after my Colonel Fluffypants while I was out of town and it was such a relief to know he was under such good care. She sent me daily updates and photos and, when he stopped eating his wet food after a couple days, was really on top of encouraging him and keeping me updated on it. She also was very resourceful and went above and beyond with cleaning kitty barf and trash removal! She is a kind person and bright soul to be around. Highly recommend.

Kennedy was great! We got pics of our babies from every visit, she gave them plenty of play-time, and she cleaned up vomit when the change in diet upset their stomachs. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Kennedy was a fantastic cat sitter. Our cat is not easy to deal with ; she not only managed her super well but also went above and beyond to keep our cat engaged and our plants alive during our long stay away.

Kennedy was amazing with our two cats! She updated us with adorable pictures and we felt totally comfortable and confident that our cats were getting all the love and care while we were gone. She even was able to coax our shy cat out from under the bed! Will definitely be using Kennedy again in the future

Kennedy was an amazing sitter. Our cat, Chuck, is extremely shy and we thought she would likely not even see him when she stopped by. We were pleasantly surprised to receive video/photos of her playing with Chuck! We would definitely recommend her to others or try to book Kennedy again if we go out of town.

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 free Meet & Greet!
