Learn More About Michelle

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I’m a proud cat mom to two adventure-loving cats: Bellatrix (Bella), a vocal and sassy diluted torbie and Theodore (Theo), a rambunctious yet super sweet and affectionate mini black panther. They’re both full of personality and keep me very familiar with everything from playtime and enrichment to litter routines and feeding schedules. Having my own cats means I truly understand how important consistency, observation, and gentle care are when someone else is looking after your pets.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to start with a quick meet-and-greet to understand your cat’s routine, personality, and any special instructions. I follow detailed care notes closely and prefer clear instructions so I can keep everything consistent while you’re away. During visits, I provide fresh food and water, litter care, playtime or calm companionship depending on your cat’s temperament, and light home check-ins. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and litter habits and will notify you promptly if anything is out of the ordinary. After each visit, I send detailed updates and photos so you will always know how your cat is doing.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I’m typically available during holidays, particularly the major ones (Christmas and Thanksgiving). My immediate family lives nearby, which gives me flexibility during holiday periods, and I understand how difficult it can be to find reliable care during those times. I’m happy to help with both short trips and longer holiday travel plans!

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 $38.00. 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
