Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA
I live with Gregorio, my 8-year-old fluffy black cat who inspires my calm and gentle approach to caring for all kitty personalities. I have experience with shy and anxious cats, confident social butterflies, and seniors who need extra patience and tenderness.

• Liquid medications administered via syringe... Hi, I’m Natalia. I’m a dedicated cat sitter and feline behavior enthusiast based in San Francisco.
I live with Gregorio, my 8-year-old fluffy black cat who inspires my calm and gentle approach to caring for all kitty personalities. I have experience with shy and anxious cats, confident social butterflies, and seniors who need extra patience and tenderness.
I have hands-on experience with a wide range of medical needs, including:
• Oral medications in pill form, including antibiotics, chronic condition treatments, and other prescribed therapies
• Liquid medications administered via syringe or mixed into food or treats
• Topical medications applied to the ears for appetite stimulation or other treatments
• Subcutaneous fluids for CKD and kidney support
I always work with gentle hands, patience, and respect for each cat’s comfort level.
Understanding feline body language is central to how I approach cat sitting. I pay close attention to small cues like slow blinks, tail flicks, ear positions, and soft purrs, and I respond in ways that help kitties feel safe, understood, and relaxed. My visits are calm, consistent, and tailored to your cat’s unique personality and needs.
I love capturing each cat’s best angles and sending thoughtful photo updates so you can feel connected with your fur babies and at ease while you’re away.
I’m available for cat sits anywhere in San Francisco, and I’d love to meet you and your feline family!
Learn More About Natalia
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve lived with and cared for cats for most of my life. My first big adult choice at 18 was adopting a cat, and I’ve been involved in cat care ever since. Over ten years ago, friends and family began asking me to look after their cats because I was patient and calm with sensitive kitties. For the past four years, I’ve been cat sitting professionally, gaining experience with a wide range of personalities. I’ve cared for cats with medical needs, followed detailed care routines, and learned how to adjust my approach so each cat feels comfortable, safe, and secure in their own home.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most is the privilege of getting to know each cat's unique personality. I love the process of earning the trust of a shy cat, seeing that first slow blink, or discovering that a supposedly aloof cat is actually a secret cuddlebug once they feel comfortable. It's incredibly rewarding to provide a sense of consistency and calm for them while their family is away, turning a potentially stressful time into one filled with play, purrs, and gentle companionship. It’s not just about filling a food bowl; it's about being a temporary friend.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
My top priority is creating a safe and secure environment for every cat and home I care for. It all starts with a good meet-and-greet to really get to know the cat's personality and routine. When I come for a visit, I’m super careful about locking doors and windows every time I leave, and I’m vigilant about preventing escapes when entering or exiting. I keep a close eye on the important stuff, like how much they're eating, drinking, and using the litter box, since that's the first sign if something's off. I send thorough daily updates and plenty of photos so cat parents can relax and know everything is perfectly fine back home.

Natalia was wonderful with Winnie and communicating with me. she sent loads of pictures an detailed reports of their antics (lasers! naps! brushing!) and handled challenges like a pro (medication, monitoring her eye injury, and adapting when ahe needed a little extra TLC). I came home to a peaceful cat who’d been well looked after.

Natalia did an amazing job taking care of my cat who is on a restrictive diet and needs to receive medicine every 24 hours. Natalia was super communicative, followed my instructions perfectly, and took great care of my place while I was gone. My cat is a very snuggly lap cat and Natalia went the extra mile to give him all the snuggles and attention.

Natalia was amazing with our shy kitty and made her feel comfortable in the short amount of time they had together! Every direction was followed perfectly and she even did extra when necessary without us asking! KitKat looks forward to having Natalia watch her again!

We hired Natalia to care for our two cats for 11 days, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she works with and is respectful of their routines and of your home. I had been a little nervous using a new sitter (who wouldn’t be? You’re entrusting them with keys and your fur babies while you’re away) but she immediately put us at ease. Throughout the trip, she was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates and plenty of photos. Our cats adored her, and we came home to two relaxed, happy kitties who weren’t nearly as angry at us for leaving them as they had been in the past. Natalia is professional, thoughtful, reliable, and clearly dedicated to what she does. We’re so thankful we found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again.

I can’t recommend Natalia highly enough ! From the moment we met, I felt completely confident leaving my cat in her care. I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned — which says everything. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, loving pet sitter !

This was my first time using a pet sitting service and it went amazingly smoothly. Natalia was very responsible and spent lots of time with my cat. she provided very detailed daily summaries with lots of cute photos. I didn't have to worry about anything while I was gone. she is newer to meowtel but has been professionally cat sitting through other platforms for a while now, so is very experienced. My cat was happy and well cared for!

San Francisco cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $39.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!

In April, I had to travel last minute to Mexico for an emergency trip, and I couldn't take my cat with me. Natalia changed her schedule and made herself available to take care of Penelope. She cares deeply about Penelope and was there for both of us when we needed. I didn't have to worry about anything while I was gone.

Natalia is the best cat sitter I have ever had! Super responsible, always goes the extra mile when sending reports and pictures, she truly loves kitties and is very gifted with them. My fluff ball (Jack) immediately connected with her. I feel 100% confident and reassured when I travel because I know Natalia will come over to feed, care and play with him. Thank you again!
