I'm Noreen
Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA
In September of 2022, I added a leopard gecko to the family. In June 2023, I acquired a gargoyle gecko. I also now have jumping spiders.
In the past our family had a cat who lived to 14.5 years which we had since he was a kitten. I love animals... I’m a San Francisco native. Currently I own one cat, an orange tabby who is 8 years old and spoiled rotten. I adopted him when he was 2 from the SPCA in Dublin, CA.

Growing up I had a lot of pets - dogs, frogs, salamanders, birds, fish, rabbits and even a rooster (lol). I am very compassionate, considerate and punctual.
I take COVID prevention very seriously. I am fully vaccinated when I can get the boosters. (Last one 9/2024)
I am happy to water any plants you have, take in mail during my visits. I like to do a meet and greet (in person or online) before the actual sitting.
I have Litter Robot experience (thanks Jonah!) and have a bit of experience with giving oral liquid meds.
My regular clients for 2025: Please message/text me with your potential sit dates. Thank you.

Noreen has been watching Banana for years, always does an amazing job. but I wanted to highlight our most recent sit. it was super last minute because we had a death in the family and needed to travel right away. we’re so grateful to her for being available and trustworthy. it really let us focus on our human crisis without worrying about our pet.

After a year and a half at home with my COVID Cat, Annie, I was really nervous to leave her when I went on my first trip. Noreen put all those worries to rest. She was terrific: came over and met Annie before my departure and took careful notes. Once I left, she messaged me every time she came over, with pictures of Annie and reports on her food consumption (Annie a picky eater). I'm so glad to have a sitter like Noreen, and look forward to using her again.

Noreen was amazing. It’s that simple. If you’re on the fence about a cat sitter to choose, then just pick her. She came over to our place before we left town to get to know us a little bit, meet our two kitties, and receive some instructions for caring for them. We were a bit nervous leaving them alone and having a new person over to care for them, but she was super friendly and put us at ease. We also have a self-cleaning litter box, which comes with specific cleaning instructions. If you do it wrong, then the cats can’t access the litter. She followed instructions perfectly. And she Facetimed us each time she came over, played with the kitties, and gave them treats. Noreen is great! :)

once again, Noreen did an incredible job taking care of Annie. we were gone for a long time and abroad, she provided us with updates every time she came over, played and snuggled with Annie, and even figured out how to text us on our new numbers.

Noreen is the best! She took my super last minute cat sitting request and went above and beyond to take care of my Cosmo while we were gone for the weekend. She was punctual, communicative, gave updates and sent super cute pictures :) We will definitely be using her in the future.

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 $37.00. 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!

Noreen visited when scheduled and sent pictures of Leela so we knew she was okay. She also provided updates about how much food Leela had, what she gave Leela, and other details, which made me feel comfortable being away.

I absolutely recommend Noreen! She’s incredibly friendly and responsive, and you can just tell that she’ll love your kitty. My cat, Hana, was extremely well-cared for and Noreen provided me with daily updates (pics and videos). Thank you for everything, Noreen!! Hana loves you, too!

Noreen was super friendly and attentive to our two 10 month old kittens during their first nights away from us. She was comfortable with our automated front door lock and working the automated litter box (Litter Robot), which was a major plus.

Noreen was super friendly and communicative (which was great for my first cat sitter hire outside of friends & family). She took great care of my 2 girls while we were away for over a week. She has a high level of attention to detail and I felt very comfortable knowing she was going over to sit with them so they weren't too ancy.

Noreen is a great cat sitter! She offered in-person greeting before cat sitting to get to know my cats and took notes for my cats’ habits and preferences. She sent photos/videos on a daily basis when she was visiting. She was super responsive and accommodating my requirements. My cats love her!

I’ve lost count how many times we had Noreen sit for us: she’s just that good. we never worry about Annie when she’s in Noreen’s care. we get updates about all her activities and they play and snuggle well together.

Noreen was very reliable and I really appreciate her frequent communication. She made sure Stella was well fed and taken care of. When I returned from my trip Stella wasn’t stressed at all and seemed like she had a good vacation herself!

Our go-to cat sitter! So glad we found Noreen, she has taken care of our two cats multiple times and we know that our kitties always will be in safe hands. Noreen is an excellent communicator, and we love the photos and videos sent when away!

Noreen was great to communicate with and very great with my kitten (although he may like her more than me now). I would definitely use Noreen as a cat sitter again.
