I'm Nix

Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

As an experienced and caring cat-sitter and former foster volunteer, I genuinely enjoy every opportunity to care for these incredible feline companions. What I love most about cats is the unique bond they form once trust is established—their affection is deeply rewarding, and their quirks and beauty always bring a smile to my face.

When meeting new cats, I prioritize patience and respect, letting them set the pace for our interactions. I work closely with their owners to understand each cat’s personality and preferences, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in my care.

When meeting new cats, I prioritize patience and respect, letting them set the pace for our interactions. I work closely with their owners to understand each cat’s personality and preferences, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in my care.

With over three years of experience, I’ve developed a solid understanding of cat behavior and care. I’m skilled in administering medications, including oral treatments, ointments, and eye or ear drops, and I’m committed to keeping the cats I care for happy and healthy.

I’m dedicated to providing peace of mind for pet owners, keeping communication open with regular updates and photos. My goal is to exceed expectations, creating a seamless and stress-free experience for both cats and their humans.

My schedule is flexible, and I offer overnight stays. I’m available for anything from quick visits to extended care.

I also prioritize safety, especially in light of COVID-19. I’m happy to wear a mask if requested and always leave clients’ homes clean and tidy.

Friends often comment on how quickly their cats warm up to me, which is one of the best compliments I can receive. Outside of cat-sitting, I’m a filmmaker and product designer with a passion for the arts. Spending time with cats—whether mine or someone else’s—is always a joy.

Nix did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Suki, during our holiday trip. She provided detailed updates, photos and videos and was able to give our kitty her medicine each day. Thank you!

Nix was fantastic! She asked every question when she came over to meet TJ and Sophia. Sophia has allergies and Nix was great with her. She got real stuffed a few times and Nix cleaned her nose as well as giving her her nebulizer. She gave constant updates and sent photos too! The cats liked her. We will hire her again! Thank you Nix!

Reservation was easy as always. This is the second time that Nix sat for us and she was fantastic. The cats were taken care of well. One needs medication and Nix is great with her. She shares photos, the cats really like her. She gives them pets and attention. The litter box is always clean when we get home. I highly recommend Nix!

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!
