I'm Dory | Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA
Hey, I’m Dory—part-time cat whisperer, full-time responsible human. I’ve been cat-sitting for a few years, and in that time I’ve met every kind of feline personality: shy, spicy, dramatic, needy, and the ones who stare at you like you owe them rent. I respect routines, I don’t miss visits, and I know the difference between a slow blink and a death glare, and I won’t rearrange your furniture. I’ve handled everything from hyper kittens to elderly cats who just want their heating pad and persona...

Dory's Reviews
Lori
we have 2 senior rescue lady Katz’; a tortie with tortitude, and a diluted tortie who is shy and hasn’t had the easiest time in her life. Our girls have separation anxiety big time, traveling has been unnerving for us to even consider. That was until we met Dory, who has become part of our family. Dory has fantastic energy, is a natural cat whisperer, offers love, face scratches when our girls demand it, and feeds them a purrfect meal each time (our larger gal tells us in her videos that she approves!). Dory enabled us to comfortably book vacations and travel again, and when we return our home is tidier than when we left it. Our previously panicked cats are almost disappointed to have their boring cat-rents back. You can feel confident that if Dory cares for your kitty /kitties, they will be in the very best, caring, cat a riffic, trusting, and safest hands. It should be noted that your own cat pix and videos will be quickly may need replacing…because in addition to her purrfect reports, care, and love for the cats, her ability to video and photograph cats puts the 1500 pix of ours to complete shame; her photos and videos are picture purrfect. Meowtel only allows 5 stars but she’s a 10!

I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dory!! My girl has medication requirements as well as specific feeding amounts and times due to her recent bout of pancreatitis. Dory did an AMAZING job! She was fantastic with updates, sent a ton of photos, which I appreciated because I am such a worry wart when it comes to my kitty. My cat did great and warmed up to Dory quickly. Aoife was in great spirits when I came home which was a sign she was very well taken care of! I was able to actually enjoy my birthday trip because of how well Dory communicated from the get go. THANK YOU SO MUCH DORY!! You are the best! I will absolutely book with Dory for my next trip in August.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee
We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

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 $41.00. 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.
