Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

HI!! I am Jess. I would be an amazing cat sitter for your purr-baby. I have had cats my entire life. My mom would tell me stories of me bringing cats/kittens home. Most of our family cats have been because of me haha. I currently have a black short haired boy named Oliver. He is 11yrs old and I have had him since he was a kitten and I lived in Ohio. I also have a 2yr old tortie named penny who has brought so much joy to my life. That is something that is very important to me... HI!! I am Jess. I would be an amazing cat sitter for your purr-baby. I have had cats my entire life. My mom would tell me stories of me bringing cats/kittens home. Most of our family cats have been because of me haha. I currently have a black short haired boy named Oliver. He is 11yrs old and I have had him since he was a kitten and I lived in Ohio. I also have a 2yr old tortie named penny who has brought so much joy to my life. That is something that is very important to me. I moved here from across the country, and made sure that he came with me, always looking for places to live that would allow cats. As I made friendshere, it became more and more important to me to have that community of people you trust to help care for my fur baby.

I am a caretaker at heart and in my career. I teach gymnastics. I was also a dog walker and dog sitter. Taking care of cats is a passion of mine. I really love being in their lives,
even if they are not my tiny baby. Cats truly bring me joy. I truly hope you consider me in caring for your fur-baby!
I have experience administering medications for kitties , such as , insulin , flea /tick, oral or topicals. I also have experience clipping nails on cats .

Jess is always the best! She is patient with our boy and always sends us pictures when we are away to let us know our cat is in good hands. he’s not the most social, but that doesn’t mean Jess doesn’t try to win him over every time!

Jess was an absolute dream. My cat is EXTREMELY feral and can’t stand 99% of people. Jess is the 1%!! My cat warmed up very quickly. Jess was also very careful administering my cats insulin. She is not only the best cat sitter I’ve experienced, but also just a very kind and caring person 🙏.

Jessica was really wonderful with my two young, high energy cats while I was gone for 10 days. She sent picture and video updates every day of playtime and food fill ups, and my cats were happy when I returned. I will definitely book with her again!

Jessica was an amazing sitter for my 11 year old cat Callie. She gave me updates each time she visited, letting me know that Callie had her meds, she was fed, and had her litter box cleaned. I loved the videos and pictures that she sent and look forward to having her sit in the future!

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 $41.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
