Volunteering at animal rescue sanctuaries is another passion of mine.

(They’re famously sly) Also love baking (I make a great blueberry pie!), music, and thrift store shopping. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies.
Happy tails, guaranteed!
Learn More About Samantha Noelle
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've been cat sitting with Meowtel since November 2021. Every cat truly is like a little person to me. I see them as the intelligent, sensitive being that they are, and respect their needs and preferences. Many of my clients call me a cat whisperer because most cats feel comfortable with me quickly. Giving fellow cat parents the joy of knowing their beloved baby is going to be lovingly cared for while they're away gives me a huge sense of fulfillment.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
One of the things I enjoy most about cat sitting is tuning into their energy and being able to communicate with them as the individuals that they are. Being able to be in a place of just pure love and goofiness with cats is the best.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
One of the funniest cat sitting experiences I had was with two kittens- a Sphinx and a Devon Rex. They were these tiny little gremlins who loved to pounce on each other and race up and down the hallway. Hearing their tiny little galloping sounds just cracked me up to no end. Another one was with a cat that was so shy at first, she hid behind a mirror. After a couple of days, she started coming out and letting me pet her. That was fulfilling.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My three cats are all rescues. Max Tango, a blue point Siamese. He loves bringing me "gifts"- his toy mice that he "hunts" at night time, then drops in my bed. Theo- my orange and white tabby. Found him wandering around a gas station on Hwy 99. He came right up to me as if he'd been waiting for me. And Colette- she was a neighborhood stray that I fed once, and then she quickly decided I was her forever mama. All of my cats are indoors only so that birds and other living things outside are safe.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Based on my years as a sitter, schedule a long enough visit so that your sitter can give your baby enough quality attention time, after the essentials of feeding and litter box care. Unless your cat is a total hider, most cats need (and deserve) human interaction, petting, playtime of at least a full 20-45 minutes per day, every day.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
For new cat parents - I listen closely to their needs, wants and concerns about leaving their kitty, and share similar experiences so they know I completely understand their needs and how they're feeling. Leaving our cats at home is hard! I totally know that tug at my heart when I want to travel/go on vacation. No one can replace the actual parent, but the right sitter will provide the right sense of safety and comfort to tide them over until mama or daddy gets back.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
1. Before leaving the meet and greet, I test the keys to make sure they work, or that I understand how to work around tricky locks. 2. Practice situational awareness by making sure there's no one hanging around outside of the building, hoping I'll let them come in behind me, or when I'm exiting. 3. Lock the door upon entry. 4. Double check that the door is fully closed and locked before leaving. 5. I anticipate that the cat may be right at the door as I enter, so I open it just a bit at first, and carefully enter quickly so the cat cannot rush out. 6. Before exiting, I look to see where the cat/s are, so I know I can exit safely while keeping them inside. 7. I prefer to leave my shoes by the door. Fewer germs on the floor makes for healthier cats.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes- I am generally available for all major holidays. It's a time when my clients depend on me the most, so that's important to me. I am extremely reliable, which is key for the busy holiday season, especially if you have a kitty on any type of medication- subcutaneous fluids, diabetes/ insulin management, oral medications, you name it, I have administered it.
What is your favorite cat toy?
Paws down, my favorite cat toy is the Cat Dancer. So many clients who thought their cats didn't like playing saw their cats come to life with this toy. It's such a simple toy, but totally interactive. It brings me so much joy seeing my clients having so much fun chasing it, stalking it, and leaping for it!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
First, I avoid wearing any scented products- lotions, perfumes, even heavily scented hand soap can be a major turn off for cats, since their sense of smell is so keen. Then, I'm mindful to move slowly and softly, and just sit on the floor. I give the cat time and space to approach me without trying to pet him or her until they choose to make contact with me. I speak to them in a very soft, quiet voice, and quickly take note of how they like to be petted, if at all.

Our little fluffy girls could not have been in better hands, Samantha is a person whose passion is evident, she took care of the kitties, she sent us photos and videos, she was attentive to every detail with the food, the water, the sand, her chuuru… and she even gave us cat tips (now addicted to cat tv haha). Definitely will book her again.

Always provides excellent and timely updates regarding our two cats. This most recent sit, Samantha noticed a pipe leaking in our sink and rapidly removed items and cordoned off the area for us to keep our cats away. Could have ended poorly but instead her rapid and sensible actions ensured our cats were safe until we could have a contractor stop by!

Samantha was so great with our little guy! she was super communicative, always shared photos and updates, and spent time getting to know Vik and play with him daily while we were away. I felt way more comfortable being away knowing that he’d be in good hands and well cared for. Will definitely book with her again next time! :)

Samantha is a treasure among cat sitters! She is dependable and conscientious, and so caring towards her clients. She is very gentle and attentive with our fur baby, who usually can become stressed and agitated when we’re gone. But Cookie has become so comfortable with Samantha she now will eat Churu treats right from her hand! We appreciate the thorough updates with photos & videos from each visit. It is difficult when we have to be away and leave Cookie at home, but having Samatha makes it easier and less stressful on all of us!

Samantha has been our sitter multiple times over the past year and we are so thankful we found her! She is very responsible and it truly lessens the anxiety of leaving our kitty knowing we have Samantha there caring for her. She is so thoughtful and gentle towards her clients. She has won over our usually-moody cat who is now happy to see her “Auntie Samantha” arrive and this last visit was playful and rolling around on the bed. We appreciate her timely communication and all the updates and pictures/videos she sends during her visits, as well as the extra work she does to vacuum and wash dishes etc so we come home to a tidier house.

Samantha has real care and concern for her clients (both people and felines). For every visit, she sends me pictures and videos of my cats and gives me an update of how they are doing. She also points out unusual behavior (e.g. not peeing regularly) so that you are informed while away. She's a reliable resource and I'm really glad we have connected. She gives me peace of mind with my cats while I'm away from home! I highly recommend Samantha.

San Francisco cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. 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!

Samantha did an amazing job caring for my cats, and clearly spent the time to play with them with different toys to keep them engaged. She also managed to give a daily inhaler to a new cat (which is not easy) and kept his feline asthma under control!

This was our first time leaving town since moving to SF and it just happened to be during a heat wave. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were comfortable and we had peace of mind. She is so kind, caring, communicative, and gave the best updates. We are so grateful for her and will certainly be booking again for next time!

Samantha is a detail-oriented, empathetic, trustworthy, and incredibly talented cat whisperer. Her genuine love and care for cats and their wellbeing exudes in everything she does. I couldn’t imagine traveling without Samantha’s steadfast (and fun!) care for my old kitties. She’s a pro with my spicy elderly kitty and excellent at injections and fluids, and she’s now best friends with my shyest cat. We love Samantha!

Samantha truly cares about cats and got along very well with my cat Chipi. She stayed longer than her scheduled visit to ensure Chipi ate, was very thorough and most importantly ensured Chipi enjoyed the entire time she was there. Because of Samantha, I am looking forward to trips again.

I so appreciate the attention to detail and updates we get while we’re away, and I feel at ease knowing that Vik is in the care of someone who cares for him and spends dedicated time with him while we’re away. My partner and I (and Vik too) are so grateful to have found her!

I’ve been lucky enough to have Samantha cat sit for me several times and she always goes above and beyond in her care. My cat is madly in love with her. While I was away this time I was a little concerned that he hadn’t been eating very much and she made an extra check on him and was able to coax him to eat. It was so wonderful to be able to worry a bit less because he was being watched over by someone who genuinely cares deeply.

Samantha is the most kind and caring person and she was an exceptional Cat Sitter for my little boy buster ! She spent time with playing with him, cleaned his cat box and fed him on schedule. She even pointed out to me some safety issues which helped me. She is very kind and trustworthy and I will always book with her in the future if she is available. Samantha is the best!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Samantha is absolutely, unequivocally THE BEST! She has taken wonderful care of our senior (age 15) Honey Bee for over a year now and every time we leave Honey Bee we are more that satisfied--we actually feel a little inadequate as Honey Bee's parents. She plays bird videos for Honey Bee who is deaf and (as Samantha says) needs the extra sensory stimulation. She is very reliable and our Honey Bee a/k/a The Queen has medication twice a day and lots of other special needs--drinking water out of the various sinks in the house, etc. I appreciate this App because it has led us to Samantha.

Samanta was great taking care of my elderly cat, Coco. I was so grateful that she was able to kitty sit for us with so little notice before my departure. She came by twice a day to check on Coco and alway shared videos of the visit. Samantha is very kind and was so gentle with her as well as made sure she got her medicine twice a day. I was very happy with the care Coco received and highly recommend her! I'll definitely engage Samantha again in the future.

As a first time solo cat owner, I am so grateful I came across Samantha's profile. She is kind, approachable, and was so generous in helping me figure out the best routine for my cat as this was the first time I've left him alone. Bielo is incredibly shy, and somehow she not only got him to come out, but he actually engaged with her lovingly and seemed absolutely relaxed at her presence. I know that because she sent me thorough updates and pictures/videos. I cannot recommend her enough!

Samantha is professional, kind, detail-oriented, and a true cat lover, and I'm so thankful we found her. I have two elderly kitties, and this is the first time I've been able to go on an overnight trip in 2+ years since one of them needs daily medicines and fluids. Her updates were wonderful and helped calm my own anxieties, and she was a medication pro! My cats were both so happy and healthy when I got home, and my home was cleaner than when I left. Thank you, Samantha!

Samantha is an INCREDIBLE cat sitter! We have two young kittens that we were leaving for the first time, and her excellent communication and thoroughness really put us at ease. She always responds super quickly, and sent us frequent updates, pictures, and videos of very happy fur babies. In our eyes she really went above and beyond and cared for our kittens like they were her own. Our younger boy was sick right before we left, and Samantha gave him his oral medicine and took his temperature at every visit. On top of that, she left our place spotless and had some great kitten-proofing tips (which we really needed!). Basically, we are elated to have found the ideal cat sitter, and I know our kittens are already excited for the next time they get to see her.

I feel I have achieved special status from the gods who through this App has granted me the privilege of having Samantha be the caretaker of my Angel, Honey Bee who is a 15 1/2 year old feline who is both sugar and spice. Samantha loves Honey Bee even on her Salty days. When she gives me her report she tells me how “their” day has gone. She always has at least 5 pics or videos. She is well beyond the top.

Samantha went above and beyond in taking care of my babies. She sent timely updates and videos, even when my shy kitty was hiding.

Samantha went above and beyond when watching my two senior girls. I told her before I left that the litter robot was malfunctioning. She went out of her way to call the company's customer service and was able to get it completely reset. I couldn't be happier with the help she provided!

Samantha was incredible checking in on my cat while I was away. Not only is she super friendly, but she's accommodating in every way. She made sure to ask if there was any preferred times to stop by, if she should hold onto my keys or return them to the front desk, and even double checked his medication timings since my Meowtel profile was out of date! Every day she stopped by she sent a friendly update along with a bunch of videos to help me see how things were going. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
Jill

Samantha provided us with lots of videos and pictures while we were away which helped set our minds at ease. She was super responsive when we had trouble accessing the app messages and sent them via text instead per our request. Most importantly, our cat was really well cared for - lots of interactive play time, daily litter scooping and she followed the feeding schedule perfectly. Moreover, she left the house completely clean including vacuuming and washing the bed sheets (we did overnight stays). We will definitely book again with Samantha!

Samantha was a TOP NOTCH cat sitter for our little ones! I'm talking captioned photos, detailed descriptions of the most personal quirks of each one of our kitties, proof photos of medicine delivery, the works. She is a master of speaking the cat language and our cats very clearly adored her. I'm eager to schedule another visit with Samantha and highly recommend introducing her to your cats! 10/10!

I typically have friends offer to watch my boys when I leave town but I prefer leaving them in the hands of a trained professional like Samantha so they can be spoiled the way they deseve, its like making them a reservation for the Ritz instead of the Hyatt 😹 They had the time of their lives on their staycation! Samantha sent so many pics and videos so I could see what they were up to. They got so much playtime and pets. She also went above and beyond cleaning their tear stains twice daily. Her attention to detail was phenomenal and she will definitely be coming back soon! I’m so thankful she was available and with such short notice

Sam is a true cat lover and incredible caretaker. My kitty can be shy around strangers but he was clearly drawn to Samantha’s calming energy. She sent lots of video as and pictures, asked all the right questions and made us feel so comfortable leaving our kitty with her for the week. it was our first time leaving him since his brother died and we were worried. Sam made us feel at ease and our kitty seemed so relaxed and confident when we came home. we are grateful for Sam!

Our boys love it when Samantha visits! They have a little separation anxiety, so having a friendly face checking in eases them whenever we are out of town. Samantha keeps us well informed when we are way with lots of photos and videos, and we really appreciate getting to see how they are doing. She also takes her time to address any of their individual needs (especially outside of the necessities); whether it’s play time, brushes, or washing bowls, she goes the extra mile and it’s noticed and greatly appreciated by both the cats and their humans. Highly recommend meeting with Samantha if you have needs for a sitter!

Samantha was so wonderful patient and thorough with Tiger who was shy at first. She cleaned bowls regularly, kept her litter box tidy, have lots of cuddles and followed instructions perfectly. Super responsive and I always received videos and photos of updates of their time hanging out!

this was our second time with Samantha and she is really just the best sitter we’ve had for our sweet shy guy JoJo. She is very patient and loving towards him and you can tell she cares so much. Every video of him is purring and rubbing on her and he is normally very shy around people he doesn’t see every day. We’re so lucky she was available to take care of our guy!

My cat loves it when Samantha comes over! I know that she’s in good hands while I’m away and she gets genuine care and playtime. My building can be tricky with access but Samatha handled every step professionally with the care of my cat top of mind.

Samantha is absolutely terrific! She has been watching my babies for over a year now and is not your average cat sitter - in the very best of ways! She introduces new games to my playful cats so they are never bored and always prioritizes their health and safety. She is timely, communicative, and sends the best photo/video updates. Very grateful to have found her!

Samantha has taken care of my two kittens twice, and it has been great! She is generous with her time and sends lots of pictures and videos! It's also been easy to schedule key pickups/dropoffs on relatively short notice. She's played with them a bunch, taken care of all of their food needs, and cleaned the litter box AND around the litter box because they've been digging machines. She's been terrific!

Samantha was an amazing pet sitter! She provided ample photos, videos, and updates throughout my trip. My cat is very social and Sam took the time to play and provide him any needed cuddles. While it’s still hard to be away from my cat, Sam definitely makes it a little easier.

Samantha was a wonderful sitter! I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her hands during an international trip. She sent lots of great photos and videos and even took in our packages. We came home to a very calm and fulfilled kitty and will definitely book with her again!
Taylor

Samantha was the greatest! Updated me on every visit to let me know how the cats were doing and sent some great pics. One of my cats even snooped in her bag and found a toy she just got and let him keep it because he loved it so much. Thank you again Samantha! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

Samantha is my go to whenever I need someone to look after my kitty. She is super responsive, reliable, and makes a mm effort to accommodate even on short notice. I look forward to her detailed updates and photos while I’m away, and she always keeps my cat engaged with plenty of play time and cuddles. I would absolutely recommend her!

3rd time having Samantha watch our cats and was great. Always very communicative and focused on making sure our cats are happy, well feed, and cared for. She was extra careful of making sure our one extra needs cat got his medication in a timely manner. 10/10 would recommend
Alessandra

Samantha was FANTASTIC. So many updates with pictures and videos, she took great care of my kitties, she even bought a toy to play with them and they clearly looked forward to her visits every time.

Samantha is the cat whisperer!! Like any attentive cat parent it’s hard to leave our babies. Sam kept me up to date with not only glamorous photos, but updates on daily needs such as how much they ate each day and clean litter box photos. She brought a special gift, kept them engaged, and gave plenty of snuggles when needed. If you’re looking for guilt free travel and peace of mind I highly recommend. 10/10!!
Renee

Samantha was the perfect person to take care of Oliver while I was away for an extended period Not only did she provide excellent care but she also took the time to engage him with new ways to play and gain enrichment. He loves his new toy! the videos always kept me up to date and I never had to worry. Thank you so much I would recommend her to anyone seeking a cat sitter.

This is my 2nd time working working with Samantha and I already have a 3rd lined up. Sam is wonderful with my cats! She always takes the time to get them acclimated to her so that they enjoy playtime all that much more. My tripes are free if worries when Sam is taking care of things. Thanks Sam!!

Wow! My first experience with Meowtel could not have been better. Samantha was the best and took wonderful care of my girlfriend's cat, Delilah. She communicated with us daily, sent pictures and videos and let us know that Delilah was in good hands. Thank you, Samantha! And thank you Meowtel.

Another work trip another blessing for my baby with Samantha. I don't think I have any other positive words to say besides yet another 5 star review <3 My baby has major stranger danger and it's so comforting knowing he feels at home with Samantha.

Samantha is so much more to Chipi than a catsitter. She is invested in Chipi’s wellbeing, cares deeply and goes out of the way to make Chipi’s experience great during each of her visits. I have a thought partner and well wisher in Samantha!
Michael
December 10, 2024
Samantha has been our cat sitter for a few years now and we wouldn’t let anyone else watch our pets. Our cats hide under the bed when any guests come over, even our regular visitors, but they come running down for Samantha! She’s truly a cat lover and it shows.
Max

Samantha has a great touch with Merry who is incredibly shy due to his twice daily medication routine. She was able to provide helpful and frequent updates for both pf our cats.
Sophia

Always such a blessing to have Samantha spend time with my babies. I travel a lot for work and while I have friends who drop in to spend time with my two cats, they absolutely looove Samantha. her videos and photos are always great and plenty. Her updates are detailed and she has gone above and beyond on making sure the babies are safe and taken care of. I highly recommend Samantha.
Viry

Samantha was amazing as always! She took wonderful care of Cleo while we were out of town. She made sure her water fountain and bowls were always cleaned and topped up, and was meticulous about updating us on her habits. Cleo isn’t the friendliest cat we were worried that she wouldn’t get enough social interaction and play, but Samantha did a great job of coaxing her out of her hiding spot. It’s always stressful leaving our cat at home, but booking Samantha eased that stress. Will of course book again!

This was my first time booking a pet sitter on Meowtel for my two cats after moving to the city and Samantha made this an exceptional and worry-free experience from start to finish. The cats love her and I got plenty of updates during each visit. I am looking forward to having Samantha pet sit again for a future trip.

Jan

As I have said before she is THE BEST. Perhaps too good in fact as when Samantha and I were both in the presence of Honey Bee, my sweet Honey Bee (age 15) chose Samantha over me. It seemed very genuine and I don't want to think that she's getting a little senile, but it is proof positive that that Samantha cannot be matched.
Lauren
September 15, 2024
Samantha is an absolutely incredible caretaker, cat whisperer and overall animal lover! She is so sweet, patient and thoughtful with our very particular little kitty guy. She always goes above and beyond to ensure that our cat has everything he needs, including sweeping up any rogue litter, playing Cat TV and filling up his favorite water fountain. I always know our cat will be well cared for and loved with Samantha. Thank you for everything you do, Samantha! Our whole family adores you! 🤍
Eric
October 31, 2023
Samantha is amazing! We were traveling afar and she still made us feel very close to our animals every day, through videos, updates, and lots of pictures! She goes above and beyond in taking care of our pets, even giving one of our kitty cats her chemo medicine which is not easy. She cleaned up their messes on our carpets and bedding and took great care of our apartment. Samantha is the best!!! We highly recommend her.

Samantha took great care of my cat Ella while I was away! Ella is normally very shy but Samantha was able to quickly get her to come out of her shell! She provided a ton of updates and even gave me some helpful tips for care. I would absolutely book with Samantha again as I know she’ll provide attentive care!
Mike

Where is the 6/5 stars option?! I've had a variety of cat-sitters through Meowtel & other services. Samantha has been my go-to kitty caretaker for - wow - twelve reservations so far and sets the bar for excellence so high that it's hard to consider booking anyone else! Punctual, communicative, has clear adoration for our babies, speaks cat fluently (our timid boy, Jean-Luc, is a puddle in her arms), and goes above and beyond to make sure our little ones are happy, loved, fed, and comfortable. Worrying about our cats while travelling is something that I've not felt since we've started having Samantha take care of them! I highly recommend her services.
Tanesha
February 13, 2022
Samatha was great. She's watched our cats twice now and everything went well. She was very friendly with them and interested in getting to know them, sent plenty of pictures and updates. We'll rest easy on any future trips knowing our cats are in good hands!

Samantha was a great cat-sitter. She went above and beyond-- watered my plants, brought my cat a toy, gave me some tips on how to entertain and enrich my food loving kitty. She was very communicative and timely throughout the whole process and sent awesome updates with pictures and videos. I would highly recommend Samantha. It's obvious she loves cats and has lots of experience and it made my time away from home so much better knowing my cat was being cared for and entertained.
Jan
August 10, 2023
Samantha is at the top of the cat sitter list as far as I am concerned and from other reviews I have read about Samantha. She is far more than a "cat sitter." She is a surrogate mom to Honey Bee while I am gone. I think her extraordinary achievements are due to her work ethic, her conscientiousness, her intelligence and her innate goodness and kindness as a person. She has sent multiple videos to me in my absence showing me how Honey Bee feels about her, including ones of Honey Bee wrapping herself around Samantha's legs. The fact that she has four cats of her own is also a plus. I unreservedly recommend her to take care of your loved ones.

I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to use Samantha’s services twice now and she’s the best cat sitter you’ll ever find. Not only will she take excellent care of your fur baby, she will truly and deeply care about your well being! She went above and beyond for me when I was out of the country and got my cat into his carrier for a transportation, which was no easy feat! She is also a total cat whisperer and connected with my standoffish cat. Can’t say enough about this excellent cat sitter!
