Learn More About Kenny

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

I have been lovingly and professionally caring for pets for over 20 years. What started as a lifelong passion has become my full-time profession, allowing me to dedicate my complete attention to the animals in my care. My experience is extensive and includes caring for senior cats, administering oral medications, and providing attentive companionship for cats with a wide range of personalities and needs. I pride myself on being reliable, observant, and intuitive.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Ensuring the safety of the cats and the security of your home are my absolute top priorities. For the cats, I am meticulous about following all feeding and care routines. I ensure all doors and windows are secure before, during, and after my visit. I do a visual check on each cat upon arrival and before I leave to ensure they are happy and healthy. For your home, I am very mindful of security. I make sure the door is always locked securely upon entry and exit. I also make it a point to bring in any mail or packages to give your home a lived-in look. I am a respectful and tidy guest, always leaving your home just as I found it.

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

My approach is built on patience and respect for the cat's boundaries. The most important rule is to let the cat make the first move and control the pace of our interaction. I start by avoiding direct eye contact and using a calm, quiet voice. I'll often sit on the floor to make myself smaller and less intimidating, and let them approach and sniff me on their own terms. I use "slow blinks" to communicate that I am a friend and not a threat. For some cats, the best way to build trust is through gentle play with a long wand toy, which allows us to interact from a distance where they feel safe. For others, the best care I can provide is simply a calm, quiet presence, ensuring their needs are met without forcing interaction.

Kenny was an amazing sitter. We were gone for two weeks and he came in daily to care for our two cats Angel and Diana. Diana doesn’t like meeting new people and spent the first two days under the bed/sofa but Kenny won her over and soon she was greeting him at the door. Kenny administered topical treatment for Angel every day and included their supplements. He kept the litter boxes immaculate and sent us pics and videos of the cats playing. It was easy to set up access because Kenny was already familiar with our building’s system. We needed an extra day due to flight delays and Kenny stepped in to cover the gap. We will definitely be using Kenny for all our trips!

Kenny was fantastic! I have a timid cat, and he did a great job of respecting his boundaries and even made him feel comfortable enough to play while I was gone. Kenny was very communicative and caring, and I would definitely recommend him!

Kenny took care of my two boys (12-yr-old male cats) for several days. I asked him to come for 45 minutes, which I am sure the kitties appreciated. He is super friendly with the cats, and played with them and cuddled them, and they seemed very content after I returned. I’d recommend Kenny to anyone looking for a gentle and caring cat sitter.

Kenny has been absolutely wonderful with my pets. He's calm, patient, and genuinely cares about their well being. My cat Ace can be very anxious around people, but Kenny earned his trust quickly as well as my other three cats. It's clear he understands animals on an emotional level, and that makes all the difference. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for someone who treats their pets with the same love and respect they do.

Kenny is such a caring cat sitter. He is a real animal lover and loves to dote on others' fur babies. He's also responsible and a good problem solver. He has experience giving cats meds and figuring out how to handle unfortunate medical surprises! I wish we still lived in the same area - I wish I could still hire him to take of my little fur buddy

Frequently Asked Questions

San Francisco cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
