I'm Emina | Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’ve been a cat mommy to my Bengal mix Kismet for over 3 years, since he was a couple of months old. I love him dearly and he’s basically my child. I recently moved back to SF from Berlin and I am waiting to fly him out here. Although Kismet is being spoiled by my brother, I miss him badly. Caring for a couple of friends’ cats this summer has helped ease some of the pain of our temporary separation and I look forward to giving love and cuddles to many more fur babies until I’m reunited with my own. Kismet is highly active, needs a lot of stimulation as well as cuddles, loves to talk and sing or complain to me, and follow me around the house inspecting everything I do. I enjoy all of it equally and so far have bonded with all types of cat personalities, including getting through to extremely shy cats and appeasing the rare aggressive cat. Almost all of the cats I’ve cared for, whether for friends or through here, have enjoyed my belly rubs and head massages, or even taking naps on my chest. Besides giving lots of love, I enjoy playing with retractable toys to encourage exercise, and will be reward them with healthy treats afterwards. Let me know what your cat needs and loves. At least once a day I clean my own cat’s litter box,...

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been a cat mommy for nearly 3 years myself. In the past I have cat sat for friends who would bring their cats over to my house for several weeks at a time. At present I have been cat sitting in San Francisco for friends and friends of friends, staying overnight usually, for several weeks during longer, and occasionally dropping in for short absences. Overall I have about 2-3 years of cat sitting experience (total of 8 different cats, usually single fur children but occasionally up to 2 siblings).

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My baby is called Kismet. He’s a 15 lbs bengal mix and the king of my castle, with the sweetest disposition and the most loving personality. It sounds cheesy but my life changed after he came into it, hence his name.

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

I spend extra time with them, respecting their space and showing them I’m safe whilst keeping a distance. I have been able to make even the shyest cat come out of their shell and enjoy a great and a chest nap by being consistently patient and soothing.

Emina was a great playmate to my cats and a very caring cat sitter. She also watered my plants and was overall very responsive and helpful.

Emina saved the day! My usual cat sitter was unavailable so I needed someone last minute. My kitty was well cared for and there were no issues. I highly recommend!

Emina was an amazing cat sitter to my two Persian babies! She was punctual, communicative and attentive to my fur babies! I will definitely hire her in the future!!! I had her watch them as they are new to each other and she was very helpful in this process.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $45.00. 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.
