I'm Mackenzie
Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA
Outside of cat sitting, I am a performer, instructor and personal trainer. My specialty is handbalancing, dance and contortion and love creating moving art... I am a cat lover living in the heart of downtown SF! I love cats for so many reasons! I am intrigued by their behavior and so many different personalities, and I absolutely love how weird and silly they can be. What I love most though is how loveable and grounding they are. I have two cats of my own, Akuma and Khaleesi, who I love and adore. They are both very different in personality, one is pretty sassy and has strict boundaries while the other is a softy silly goose who is always hungry. I have had cats and other animals all of my life (32 years), and I have always valued their companionship.
Outside of cat sitting, I am a performer, instructor and personal trainer. My specialty is handbalancing, dance and contortion and love creating moving art. I enjoy helping others get healthy and strong!
My most available time of the day is morning and midday around Nob Hill, Union Square, and Tenderloin District. But I am also willing to travel depending on the situation. My main mode of transport is either biking or the bus, so locations within 2 miles is optimal.
My medication experience comes from growing up with cats my whole life. I have some experience giving eye drops, topical ointment as well as oral medications from time to time.
My schedule changes from time to time due to my other job as a coach, personal trainer and performer (especially). I definitely make sure to update my schedule so that it is always up to date!
Covid safety protocol! I am fully vaccinated and will wear a mask and wash my hands before and after I leave anyone's home! I wear a mask at both of my jobs that also require vaccinations from employees as well as customers and clients. I am willing to discuss any additional requests pertaining to Covid.

Mackenzie was fabulous!! She was able to coax my very shy kitty, Mr. Bates, out from under the blankets on my bed and had him snuggling up to her in no time. She sent several pictures everyday and kept me updated about Mr. Bates activities. It made my time away so much more relaxing knowing that my boy was in such good hands and was being so well looked after. I would request Mackenzie next time I traveled in a heart beat!

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 $38.00. 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!

Mackenzie is my go-to cat sitter. She is reliable, communicates well, and is very attentive to my kitties, one of whom is shy, the other more prickly. My cats both adore her! I feel very reassured leaving them in her care. We are all her fans 🤩!
