Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Michelle and I’m a devoted cat mom to two adventure-loving kitties. I understand how important it is to have a trusted, detail-oriented sitter when travel or demanding schedules take you away.

My name is Michelle and I’m a devoted cat mom to two adventure-loving kitties. I understand how important it is to have a trusted, detail-oriented sitter when travel or demanding schedules take you away. I provide calm, professional in-home care so your cats and home are always in excellent hands.

Each visit includes fresh food and water, litter box care, playtime or quiet companionship tailored to your cat’s personality, and light home check-ins (mail/packages, plants, tidying cat areas). I’m experienced with multi-cat households, shy or anxious cats, feeding schedules, and detailed care instructions. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and litter habits and will notify you promptly of any changes.

You’ll receive thorough updates and photos every visit, so you can travel or focus on work with complete peace of mind! I treat cat-sitting as a professional responsibility and pride myself on punctuality, communication, and respect for your home and privacy.

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!

Michelle was very friendly and responsible. I got lots of pictures and videos during my trip and updates on how my cat was doing. I didn't have to worry about anything - she knew what to do and when to reach out for clarification. My cat felt comfortable around her on the first day and really enjoyed her company! she left everything tidy and was very respectful of my space. highly recommend :)

Michelle was absolutely amazing with my cat and went above and beyond — she not only spent quality time playing with her, but also cleaned up around the litter area. She’s thoughtful, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I felt at ease knowing Metro was in great hands. Highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter — I would definitely book with her again!

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!
