Learn More About Holly
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love the shy cat babies and the seniors! I am so overjoyed and honored when I can get them to come out of their shells. It is a great feeling knowing they trust me and feel comfortable being themselves.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Ensuring the safety and security of your fur babies and home are of utmost importance to me. During the visit I make sure your fur babies are eating well, drinking fresh water, using their litter box, playing and getting any medical needs met. I also take note of any "off" behaviors like vomiting, lethargy, litter box issues and communicate them immediately. I have a check list that I follow when leaving your home at the end of each visit. I make sure to visually see your kitty, I secure any wand toys that have been played with and doors and windows are locked/secured and triple checked before I leave. I also collect newspapers/mail. Safety and security are of utmost importance always!
What is your favorite cat toy?
You might be surprised at this one. A small piece of paper rolled into a little ball is my favorite cat toy. Cats love to chase these little balls as they skitter across the floor. It is a hit almost every time!

Benny & Binx LOVED their time with Holly! She was able to brush BOTH our boys (something we have not been too successful with.) Holly’s pictures spoke volumes of their time spent together. Binx is our stand offish boy. But, two days after we returned home, he waited by the door for Holly’s return. Holly’s communication and photos truly put us at ease in leaving our “kids” for such a long time. Play is EXTREMELY important to Benny. He loves toys and has a lot of them. Holly brought toys that were even more interactive than what Benny already had. Holly discovered both of our boys liked crumpled paper “balls”. It just goes to show that our kids don’t need fancy stuff to have fun. We had our apartment cleaned professionally before we went on vacation. Holly got our stainless steel kitchen sink to gleam to a mirror finish. (Something the cleaners didn’t achieve.) This was extremely important to us because we feed raw food exclusively. Holly understands the extra sanitation required for raw feeding. We mix additional supplements and digestive aids into the raw food. Holly followed each of our instructions without question. She limited treats as instructed and showed concern when Binx wasn’t eating the amount directed. (He is a nibbler and eats small amounts, but eats often.) Her focus and observations really prove her dedication to the cats she serves. Book Holly without hesitation. She provided piece of mind that made our vacation even more memorable.

Holly was an amazing cat sitter! Our cat got along with her very well and we found him happy and healthy after 2 weeks away. Holly sent us detailed updates everyday including pictures. There is no doubt Holly cares deeply about the cats she takes care of. She takes the time to understand the needs of every cat she sits and adapts to them. Holly is also super kind and friendly. Thank you Holly!

Holly took wonderful care of our three cats while we were away for 8 days. It's not an easy assignment -- our cats require some refereeing since they don't always get along, they all want a human's full attention, and one is on daily pills that he would prefer to avoid. But Holly managed to keep the three of them from harming each other, got the pills into the sick one, and really got to know all their unique personalities. She left our home in tip-top shape, too. I hope Holly is available the next time we have to be away!

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 $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!

Holly has always been a great catsitter, but she was especially outstanding this time. One of our cats had disappeared from his area and wandered somewhere in the rest of our place, which is undergoing construction. We could not find him and had to leave for 2 weeks. Holly spent hours to find him, reassure him and lure him back to his safe area, all the while giving us a lot of updates. Truly above and beyond!
Response from Holly
My pleasure Aurelien!! I am so glad I found him safe and sound!

Holly is a terrific cat sitter. I hadn't needed her in a while so I wasn't sure what to expect when I contacted her out of the blue. She remembered me and my cats, but more importantly, they remembered her. They posed for many terrific photos. She also did some minor cleanup in the kitchen, which was definitely beyond the call of duty.

Holly always goes the whole mile to take care of my extremely shy cat. this time she had to pivot because a last minute health issue arose and Holly didn’t blink about doing what was needed. She sent regular updates and kept me up to date. Holly is a pro! 💕

Holly is wonderful! She took on a very tough client last summer - my 19-yr old kitty with several health issues - and treated him like her own. She sent me regular updates, doted on him, keept him healthy, & made him feel safe while I was away. Sadly, he is gone now, but I am forever grateful to her.

Where's the 6th star on this review form? Holly was amazing. We've used the same catsitter for 20 years and suddenly she wasn't available for this trip so we were quite stressed out. Holly put us at ease right away and we knew she was the one to keep him happy for a week of overnights. She updated us frequently and she left the place spotlessly clean. If you want someone who knows how important the details are, Holly is the one.

Holly is the best. She never gave up on trying to coax my invisible cat into showing herself, and did catch a glimpse. I knew Holly was paying attention to all of Franny’s needs and someday, Franny will sit in Holly’s lap. 🤞🏼🤞🏼❤️❤️

Holly was wonderful! My kitty is a pretty big scaredy cat but by the end of the week with Holly she was letting her play and pet her. Holly was on time and always shared updates and it's obvious she's a giant kitty lover.

Holly is fantastic! She was flexible with coming to meet me and my kitties before I left and was happy to also help with watering my houseplants. I appreciated the photos and updates while I was away 😁 I’m impressed that even my little scaredy cat felt comfortable with Holly and came out for pets and cuddles! Thank you Holly for taking such great care of my kitties while I was traveling! 😻

Holly is simply fantastic! She has a great presence and bonded with my (scaredy) cat almost immediately. Holly did more than just feeding and cleaning , she put me at complete ease. I came home to a super relaxed cat and a spotless home. Holly definitely went above and beyond to make us both comfortable and would be an excellent sitter for anyone.

Holly did an amazing job cat sitting my two fur babies! She went the extra mile with cleaning the litter and floors and when I got home from my vacation I could tell my babies were a lot less anxious and nervous than they usually are when I'm gone. Thank you so much Holly!

Holly took care of our three fur babies for several days. They are shy but during the meet and great they came out to say hello. Holly was gentle, kind, and patient with our babies since they take some time to warm up to strangers. We highly recommend and would love to have Holly to catsit again.

I would definitely recommend Holly as cat sitter any day :) She was great with my fur babies who don’t normally warm up to strangers easily! She was very communicative during the entire trip and gave me peace of mind. So glad I had her looking after my kitties while we were away for almost a week!

Holly is excellent! Highly recommend. She took care of our two 15lb boys while we were gone for a week. Holly stopped by to meet both of them and learn about their routines before we left for vacation. Both boys were very happy, well fed, watered, brushed, and clean litter boxes when we returned. Will be using Holly again!
