I'm Dory | Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA
**Introducing Your Cat's Personal Vacation Ambassador!** Hey there, feline enthusiasts! I'm Dory, your very own Cat Sitting Extraordinaire! 🐾 Let me share a little bit about my purr-sonal journey that led me to this feline-filled adventure. Having relocated to the US five years ago, I left behind my beloved companion, Missy, in the care of my amazing parents. But let's be honest, I miss her terribly! So, what better way to fill the void than by providing top-notch care for your majestic furballs? Back in my homeland, I had a noble mission: rescuing stray cats and finding them their forever homes. It was a passion project that brought me immense joy and fulfillment. Alas, upon arriving in the US, I noticed a lack of strays—otherwise, I would have continued my mission here too! However, my heart still aches to shower some tender love and care on your regal kitties. I'm well-versed in administering medicine to our adorable whiskered friends. Through Missy's eye surgery, I became a pro at handling medication, from pills to eye drops and ointments. Rest assured, your fur babies will receive the utmost care under my watchful eye! But that's not all! Beyond my cat-loving superpowers, I have a background in architecture, having worked in the field for a considerable time. Now, I'm pursuing my BFA in fashion design at the Academy of Art Un...

Dory's Reviews
Rob
dory was excellent. on top of it with great updates and cat charming that left our three very happy. did they even miss me while I was gone???
Lori
We have 2 senior rescue lady cats & 1 is aloof. She’s a territory and attention hog, and perpetually abusive (alpha) to the other. We are always nervous about being away even with a stay over sitter. The kitty who is constantly getting attacked, is skittish, scared of people, and when we return from a trip she’s glued to us, for days. Here’s why this is important for anyone reading this comment: Dory is a cat whisperer, had both of our cats literally eating out of her hands, sleeping in the same room, she sends amazing updates, pix and videos, is communicative without having to ask, she’s attentive, she cleaned up (like really cleaned up) and is so great to work with our cats are still waiting by the door for her 😻, she’s their new fur-ever aunt. love her! Dory is trustworthy, thoughtful, empathetic, so caring, And introduced our girls to their new “favorite channel on tv” the cat channel 🐾🫶🏽🐾 Dory is a special and warm human, & such an absolute delight that we will schedule our next trip around her availability in 2025.

This was my 3rd time booking Dory for taking care of my furry baby. I guess that says it all! Dory was excellent as always and will be my go-to cat sitter for as long as possible!

I can't say enough good things about Dory! She takes care of my cats like they are her own. She really goes above and beyond for my boys, whether it's bladder expressions & butt baths for my urinary incontinent kitty, or it's extra playtime and treats for the other two. I have tremendous peace of mind when I'm away, and I can't thank her enough for how well she cares for my boys (and communicates with me!). You'll see at least several other reviews from me for Dory -- there's a reason I keep coming back! :)

Dory is an amazing cat sitter! My cat is a little shy but Dory has really managed to get her out of her shell. Dory feeds her, gives her plenty of play time and lots and lots of love. I never have to worry about Nyla when I’m going because I know Dory’s totally got it under control! She’s great with directions and gives regular updates with pictures and everything. She’s already by go-to cat sitter and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, sweet and thoughtful sitter for their feline babies!

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 $42.00. 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.
