Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

🐱I have been around cats my whole life and have a deep understanding of their behavior. In fact, my first job as a teen was cat sitting for neighbors and friends. I have also volunteered at the SFSPCA, working with cats of all ages and personalities.
🐱I take great pride in providing excellent care for your pets. Whether your cat is shy or active, young or old, cuddly or sassy (or often times both!), I respect their boundaries and space.
🐱I currently have one 5 year old cat named Ihmotep (Imo for short) who keeps me on my toes everyday!
I’m looking forward to meeting your feline friends!
🐾 Fun fact: Neko means cat in Japanese
Learn More About Nicole
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a 5 year old cat named Ihmotep (Imo for short). I adopted him and his sister Oni in 2021. Unfortunately we lost Oni from FIP when she was 2 years old. Imo is very active and loves jumping on the cabinets, chasing the wand toy, and playing fetch.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I’m usually available during the holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I can provide cat sitting services for longer streches of time as well.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Having worked with timid and anxious cats before, I like to make sure the cat feels as comfortable as possible. What this often looks like is sitting in the floor near the cat and speaking to them in a calm voice while watching their body language. From there, if they look comfortable, I’ll offer them my hand to sniff. I will never grab, yell, or force interaction with a cat.

Nicole was the best! I had just moved to San Francisco and had to spend three weeks away. I was worried that my cats would be stressed by both the recent move and my long absence, but they were so happy with Nicole. She was incredibly sweet with them, and from the photos she sent, I could tell they had so much fun playing with her. She was also very helpful and accommodating in returning our keys late in the evening. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is amazing!

Nicole is our go-to sitter for my anxious older kitty, Penelope. Pen hates when I leave and doesn’t take well to new people, and Nicole is always very understanding and respectful of Penelope’s boundaries while making sure she feels cared for while I’m gone. Penelope has stomach sensitivities and Nicole is very helpful with that as well. Thank you, Nicole!

Nicole took wonderful care of my Cat Miso for a long weekend. I had just moved to SF and my cat was naturally anxious and unsettled with the ease. She very quickly warmed up to Nicole, and Nicole did a great job feeding her, keeping my home tidy from my cat’s messes, and playing with her. Would strongly recommend Nicole and look forward to having her sit again!

Nicole did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Mango! She was incredibly communicative, prompt, trustworthy, and so kind. We felt completely at ease on our trip knowing Mango was in such great hands. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely love to work with Nicole again soon!

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 $40.00. 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!
