Learn More About Kelsey

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one cat, Margo. She is an almost 2 year old brown tabby. We just celebrated her 1 year adopt-a-versary. She is a loving tabby cat who is playful and very talkative! Her favorite toys are springs and any toy that chirps like a bird!

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

As someone who uses cat sitters themselves, I think the meet and greets are so important! You’re able to get the vibe of the sitter and see how they interact with your fur baby. It always makes me feel at ease meeting and seeing the sitter who will be watching Margo before I’m away.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I currently have a flappy bird that chirps and vibrates that has been a fan favorite! It keeps Margo entertained for hours.

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

I grew up with veryyyy timid cats. I know that they take some time to warm up to new people and that persistence is key when it comes to earning their trust.

This was my first time hiring a cat sitter and I’m glad I had Kelsey! She was very communicative from handoff of our keys to sending daily updates of our cats. Not to mention, our cats warmed up to her quickly and felt comfortable around her. Highly recommend for a cat sitter in SF. She also takes the best cat pics!

Kelsey was a thoughtful cat sitter and my cat absolutely fell in love with her! I appreciate Kelsey's messages and pictures while she catsat, and she was able to make my shy cat come out and play which is miraculous.

This was our first time using a catsitter/service and Kelsey immediately mitigated our concerns when she asked thoughtful questions, respected a kitty boundary during introductions, and when our other kitty flopped down for immediate attention. She kept us updated, shared very good photos we looked forward to, and took on some of the additional challenges of our very particular cats without hesitation. We look forward to working with her again and we recommend you book her for your upcoming travel!

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.
