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 26 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... 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 26 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 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 12 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 12 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 phenomenal and made me feel ease leaving my kitties in her care. my usually very shy cat Ian warmed up to her very quickly and both loved the snuggles she gave them! I appreciate each check in and all the cute photos. I was so anxious to leave them for 2 weeks but with Kennedy taking care of them I was able to know they were in great paws 😉 haha

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.

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.

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!
