Learn More About Sanny

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to understand each individual cat’s personality. They're all so unique!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Please let me know where you keep your cleaning supplies. Cats get messy. :)

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Doors always locked when I leave, triple checked!!!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! If my calendar isn't open, feel free to send me a message with the days you're looking for and I'll see if I can open up availability. I usually keep my calendar open 2-3 months out, but happy to open more upon request.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Cat dancer. I usually pack one with me on drop-in visits. It really gets them going.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Sit and chat with them. Sometimes they will come out with a little bribe like Churu or wet food. Most shy cats will come out for me after a few visits, some take months over multiple bookings. It takes time to build trust, that's ok!

Sanny took absolutely amazing care of our three little ones. Not only did she do an excellent job taking care of them and taking pictures--she also identified and then helped us navigate through a health scare, going above and beyond to make sure our kittens were all right and talking things through with health professionals. And all through the holidays, when a lot of care facilities were shut down. Absolutely unreserved recommendation.

Sanny did a wonderful job taking care of Matilda and Richard! She sent me updates on how they were behaving and on the tasks she completed every visit, along with many pictures and videos. They were so relaxed when I got home, even though it had been two weeks. Will be very happy to book Sanny again in the future!

I had such a great experience with Sanny and will definitely be asking her to cat-sit again. I was a little nervous having a stranger check in on my cat, Kiba, because he is very territorial and has had problems adjusting to new people in the past. Sanny listened to my concerns, was very careful with Kiba, and everything went great. I felt so much better about going out of town knowing that Kiba was in good hands. The photos, videos, and texts Sanny sent clearly reflected the good care she was providing and how she was getting to know him. Excellent experience!

This is our seventh or eighth time having Sanny babysit our sweet boys Boba and Neutra. Love her care, attention to detail and updates to let us know how they're doing and what they're up to—her pictures are fantastic; and they're always in great hands with her. Leaves our house clean, our cats happy, and takes our packages in for us whenever she spies them too which is a nice bonus in San Francisco where packages sometimes go missing.

We just had Sanny look after our two older cats for the third time. She does a fantastic job and I can relax while out of town knowing that our cats are well cared for. We now have to give medicine to one of our cats and I was very pleased that was also a success while we were away. I highly recommend Sanny for your cat sitting needs.

Sanny was fantastic. She took really good care of our cats, sending us regular updates. She was able to provide subcutaneous fluids as well as give multiple medications to our cats. When we came home, everything was spotless and my cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. Would highly recommend her

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

San Francisco cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $38.00. 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!
