What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new cats and learn about their unique personalities! I love how you never know what type of cat you’ll meet solely based on gender, breed, etc. I love getting to befriend all different types of cats and learning about a new cat quirk.

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

• Schedule a meet and greet: Whenever possible, arrange an in-person meet and greet at your home. It’s the best way to show your sitter how to care for your cats and to make sure you feel comfortable trusting them with your pets. If that’s not doable, a quick video or phone call is still a great idea! • Share your cats’ habits and quirks: Let your sitter know how your cats tend to behave when you’re away. For example, one cat I cared for would always get a little stressed and vomit on the first day. Having that heads-up helped me stay calm and attentive. • Set clear expectations early: Discuss how often you’d like updates and what level of care your cats need. A quick drop-in visit is different from watching a cat that needs more hands-on attention throughout the day. Clear communication gives peace of mind to everyone

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

When I first got my shy cat April, she found a secret hole in my apartment and hid there for the whole day. I was so worried I called all the local rescues asking for advice and whether I should ask the fire department to tear down my walls to rescue her. Luckily, she came out of the hole after a day and now she always jumps on my lap when I sit down! The incident taught me that time and patience are the most important qualities for dealing with timid cats. I make sure that all the yummy food, fun toys, and cuddles are always there for them when they’re ready, but I won’t force them if they’re not.

Frequently Asked Questions

San Francisco cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
