I'm James | Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA
Hello neighbor! I'm James, and I am an enthusiastic cat lover living in the Castro, San Francisco. I have rescued cats for almost 20 years. From all ages to all behavioral styles, my experience with cats has allowed me to care for a wide array of our feline friends. I have owned 6 cats during my lifetime, and while I no longer own any, I want to put my time to use helping with yours! I have strong experience with administering medication, managing temperamental and shy ani...
James's Reviews
Lexi
James is a fantastic caretaker. He has been taking care of our kitties for over 2 years now! I always feel safe knowing I'm leaving my cats in his care. Always going above and beyond!
Camila
James is awesome! Domingo liked him immediately and so did we. He was punctual, caring, super responsive and sent us updates with photos every day. We will definitely be booking with him again!
Matt
James was warm, friendly and very thorough. He came over to meet our cat and get all the details right for his first visit. While we were away, he was excellent in communicating with us (and in engaging our cat, Nico, who can be a bit anxious around new people). We were surprised to get pictures of Nico cuddling on James' lap on his second visit--James really won Nico over quickly! We look forward to hiring James again in the future!
Samantha
James was an unbelievable cat-sitter. He went above and beyond for our cat, Sophie, and knowing the safe hands she was in while we travelled made a world of difference. We can't wait to book him again!
Lexi
James is absolutely wonderful, a cat expert! We couldn't book James for the full extent of our trip this time, relying on a friend to watch our kitties on the days James couldn't. Where our friend struggled in working with one of our anxious cats, James was able to handle him with love and patience. I absolutely love having James watch our cats, it always gives me such piece of mind that I am leaving them in good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
