I'm Nikki | Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

Hello! Looking for someone to lovingly attend to your kitty whenever you need to take a trip for business or head out of town on vacation? My name is Nikki; I'm a fun-loving, super-smart, trustworthy intellectual with a warm, caring, compassionate nature and a huge soft spot for felines. I would be absolutely delighted to tend to your cat whenever you travel. I've been cat-sitting steadily through multiple house-sitting platforms since 2015, with a long list of very satisfied references and glowing testimonials. Simply reach out to me, and I will be happy to share my extensive reference list with you. All owners have been thrilled! I offer more than a decade of experience in taking care of cats, including administration of medication (primarily oral so far) and assistance with senior kitties (including a former cat of my own, who lived a charmed life to the age of 16). I absolutely adore caring for felines; they dig my energy, and vice versa. I was raised in a small suburb of Philadelphia, and have gradually migrated to larger and larger ponds – first Penn State University, then Washington DC, and finally New York. At the close of December 2014, I left a permanent apartment in the Upper East of Manhattan behind to start exploring more of the world; I live for the opportunities that travel offers to see things from new perspectives in every possible way. ...

Nikki was very sweet and got along very well with my cat. She stayed overnight and helped my cat deal with my absence. I have a long list of instructions for taking care of my cat and Nikki was able to handle all of it with no issues. She was very communicative and I felt at ease being away from my cat with all the photos she sent.

Nikki was wonderful!!! She took care of our cat for a few days around Christmas, and she did a fantastic job. Our shy cat Mango LOVED Nikki, and we loved looking at all of the pictures Nikki would send in her updates. Nikki was very timely with her responses, a perfect communicator, and was overall a pleasure to work with. We are definitely looking forward to working with her again!

We could not have been happier with our whole experience with Nikki and Meowtel. We had never left our kitties for more than a week, and we knew that a drop-in cat sitter would not be enough companionship for our little fur babies, so we really wanted an overnight sitter. Nikki provided the peace of mind that we needed. She kept us updated regularly with photos and it was clear the kitties enjoyed her company, bonded with her, and were loved in our absence. Nikki left the house spotless and in order for our return. We will definitely use Nikki and Meowtel again.

Our cats are senior- rescue kitties. We felt guilty going on holiday until we met Nikki. Nikki immediately put our fears and worry at ease, kept us posted daily with behavior, and photo check ins, and made the entire experience very very positive and allowed us to o have a fabulous holiday. We are so grateful for her, she’s a true and trustworthy gem with your kitty angels! 😻

I had to cancel at the last minute, but Nikki was very nice and concerned about kitty who had gotten sick. I kept reservation and paid her because she did meet with us and was prompt and polite and I would have left my kitties with her, before one needed emergency care (then she needs her mommy, not a babysitter) :) I have zero concerns and would use her again and hopefully actually go that time!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $42.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes 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 comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
