Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Kristin. Animals are my passion… particularly felines! I grew up with many cats, currently have two kitties and have been working at the SF SPCA as a cat/dog adoptions counselor for 7 years. Prior to that, I volunteered at SF Animal Care & Control & SF SPCA as a cat socializer for a combined 6 years.

I grew up with many cats, currently have two kitties and have been working at the SF SPCA as a cat/dog adoptions counselor for 7 years. Prior to that, I volunteered at SF Animal Care & Control & SF SPCA as a cat socializer for a combined 6 years.

All of this experience working & volunteering at both shelters has allowed me the pleasure of getting to know a variety of cat personalities. It has also prepared me for meeting each cat where they are in the present moment.

As The Mindful Feline Sitter, I offer peace of mind for you and presence for them. I look forward to meeting you and your felines!

Learn More About Kristin

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

I have been cat sitting for various friends for many years. Now is the time to start doing it professionally and I’m thoroughly looking forward to it!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 2 year old, medium hair, black female cat named Moonlight Miracle. She’s our diva. I also have a 6 month old, medium hair, brown and white male cat named Wolf. He’s our fun lovin’ snuggler.

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

The safety & security of your cat(s) and your home are my highest priorities. To ensure everything runs smoothly, I come to our free meet-and-greet with a comprehensive checklist so we can cover every detail of your cat’s routine and care. I pride myself on being exceptionally detail-oriented, giving you total peace of mind while you’re away.

Kristin was an amazing pet sitter for my cat, Willow. She spent her caring for Willow and playing with her. The daily updates and pictures while I was away were the highlights of my day. She was very through and considerate of all my needs. She went above and beyond to care for my place as well while I was away (vacuuming litter & taking out the trash)! She also was very accommodating to my place with little furniture as I had just moved in! Can’t thank her enough for taking care of my kitty and my space while I was away. I would recommend Kristin to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about your pet while you are out of town.

Kristin took great care of my cat while I was gone on vacation. She was gentle and thorough, and was able to brush my cats’ teeth during the first visit. I’d love to hire her again in the future.

Kristin took great care of our cat! So much so that our cat seemed disappointed we returned home. Kristin’s communication was consistent and prompt, with lovely photographs to match. Everything was clean and tidy upon our return also. We’d be really happy to book with Kristin again!

Thank you so much for your review Nicola! I had so much fun getting to know Lady Grey a bit and participating with her in treat hunts each visit! :)

I can’t speak highly enough of Kristin - she went above and beyond from the meet and greet to the close of her final visit. She came prepared to take notes, asked thorough questions and showed a clear understanding of the instructions provided. She showed our girls personalized love and care with a high attention to detail. We are so very grateful for Kristin and her exceptional care!

Thank you so much for your review Connor & Lindsey! I really enjoyed my time with Willow & Biggie! It was fun playing with Biggie & nice to see Willow start to open up and trust me a bit. :)

Kristin was wonderful, and accommodated a number of unexpected curveballs during the week+ we reserved her services. Would absolutely hire again (and I pray not to be so high maintenance next time!).

Thank you so much for your review Mikhal! It was no problem at all to accommodate your changes. I'm so glad everything worked out! :)

Second time working with Kristin and it was a breeze. She tried her best to play with my cat which is not always easy.

Thank you for booking with me again Luna! Mochi was so close to playing! I'm glad that she got down onto the floor and was at least tracking the wand toy and laser. Maybe next time! :)

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 $40.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
