Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

My entire life, I’ve never had a time when I didn’t have a cat by my side. My first word being ‘kitty’, from the time I was young, I would constantly be coming home with kittens I had happened upon… on the side of/in the road, in storage units, stuck in a box… And as you could guess, my passion is definitely cats. Currently I have a few rescues of my own, and previously, I owned and ran my own pet care LLC in Texas.

My entire life, I’ve never had a time when I didn’t have a cat by my side. My first word being ‘kitty’, from the time I was young, I would constantly be coming home with kittens I had happened upon… on the side of/in the road, in storage units, stuck in a box… And as you could guess, my passion is definitely cats. Currently I have a few rescues of my own, and previously, I owned and ran my own pet care LLC in Texas.

I have cared for dozens of kitties outside of my own rescues, and was even asked to adopt a kitty from a client who was no longer able to care from him.
I’ve also been a Vegan for 10 years, and vegetarian for 25. My love for animals does not just stop at kitties!

Professionally, I am a personal and executive assistant. I also paint, create music and jewelry!

I’m located in the San Francisco Area and have flexible availability.

Learn More About Annie

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

I've owned cats my entire life and I've been professedly caring for cats since my early 20's. I've always been the go-to cat sitting friend, and owned a pet care business in Austin, TX from 2017 to 2022 before moving to San Francisco. I happily resumed the pet care life in San Francisco in 2023.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love bonding with the cats and being able to give them some love while their people are away. I always have a hard time leaving my own kitties, and knowing they're getting attention and care while I'm gone is so important to me, so when I'm sitting, I give the kitties the attention I'd want my own to get. I especially love to get to know the more shy and reserved kitties..

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a few kitties of my own, all rescued in a variety of ways from all around the country!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am typically available during the holidays, but they do tend to fill up quickly. The only time of year that I am regularly not available is from Mid August to Mid September.

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

With more timid kitties I like to get down on their level. I'll typically enter the home quietly, do their feeding, water and litter box care, then sit in a central part of the home with some treats or catnip and let them approach me at their own speed. If they come out, I let them sniff me as long as they like without trying to touch them, show them the treats/nip, and if they allow for it give them some pets and scritches. I've had a lot of luck with this method and have befriended some of the shyest of kitties.

Annie was awesome. She kept me well informed every visit with how things went as well as suppling lots of pics and videos of my cats. I have one cat who doesn’t like new people and always hides but Annie won him over immediately with her kind and calm nature

Annie is a wonderful cat sitter. She is friendly and has a gentle approach to cats. My cats love her! She is very conscientious: followed my directions perfectly re feeding, water provision, medication, litter box cleaning. She sent tons of photos and videos of them playing with her and just hanging out. I felt so comfortable with their care while I was away. This is the 2nd time she has petsat for me and we have a 3rd one coming up. Highly recommend Annie!

Annie was wonderful! My cat is very shy and usually hides from new people, but she was patient and gentle and actually got her to come out and socialize. I could tell my cat was comfortable and well cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even watered my plants without being asked, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.

Annie did an amazing job with our cat Kiko. She was patient with her and gave her time and space to feel comfortable. Her calm presence and demeanor was exactly what our finicky cat needed. Annie is definitely a cat expert!

As always, Annie took great care of my kitty while we were away. She’s a bit of an anxious girl, so I appreciate that Annie always goes out of her way just to sit and talk with her if she’s not willing to come out and play. Annie’s the best!

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!
