Learn More About Molly
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Gaining cats trust is the best feeling
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! And I don’t increase my rates!
What is your favorite cat toy?
The Cat Dancer is always a crowd pleaser! But I’ve found most cats go crazy playing in some tissue paper and pipe cleaners- something about the crinkle and fuzzy toy drive them wild!!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
In my experience, giving shy cats space and moving at their pace is best. Toys, treats and catnip are a great way to build trust.

Molly was absolutely exceptional! She took extremely good care of our two cats, one of whom is diabetic and requires insulin (which Molly handled flawlessly) and the other of whom is extremely shy and almost never shows her face to any strangers (to our great surprise, Molly managed to befriend and cuddle with her!). I would give Molly 6 stars if I could; she really made us feel at ease away from home and was extremely understanding of our cats' needs throughout the entire duration of her care.

Molly is hands-down the best cat sitter we’ve ever used! She so genuinely loves cats (and our cat!) — bringing toys and treats for him and going above and beyond to cuddle / spend time with our sweet kitty. Molly is also great about giving oral medications; she’s very observant and will often relay helpful changes / updates. She’s the best!

Molly is amazing! She took such good care of our cats, she was even able to give our grumpy old lady her meds! She sent adorable pictures and made me feel so much better about leaving for two days.

This was my first experience using Meowtel. I was nervous at first, but Molly quickly put my worries to rest. She came to my apartment prior to the scheduled visits to meet my cat and me, and to pick up the key. That already helped me feel that my cat was in good hands. While I was away from home, Molly sent me a photo and a message about each visit to let me know how it went. I would 100% recommend Molly and would have her sit for me again without hesitation.

Molly has a calm and soothing demeanor that was very helpful for my scaredy-cat, Nova. In fact, I was shocked to hear that Nova came out of hiding by the second visit! Molly was also communicative and professional, which I appreciated. This was my first time leaving Nova with a sitter – I wasn't nervous at all because I knew she was in good hands with Molly.

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 $37.00. 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!

Molly is truly fantastic! She takes fantastic care of our kitties and sends tons of adorable photos. She is especially excellent with our shy cat! (I have no idea how our shy cat opened up to her so quickly.) I would 110% recommend Molly to anyone. Knowing that she is taking care of our kitties while we are away is what lets me rest easy. Molly also has fantastic and prompt communication, and she always asks the best questions to ensure that our kitties get the best care.

Molly is just amazing! She takes such good care of our cats and goes above and beyond to make sure that they're happy. She also takes the sweetest photos and videos, and always makes me feel at ease while I'm away traveling. I really don't know what I would do without Molly! I would 100% recommend Molly to anyone, especially if your cats are very timid (like one of ours) or require subq injections (like the other of ours).

Another outstanding cat sitting session with Molly!! I get very worried leaving my cats at home when I go on vacation; the only thing that calms me down is knowing that they are in INCREDIBLY good hands with Molly. She is a cat whisperer! She takes amazing care of our diabetic cat and our extremely nervous cat — and our cats love her! Molly is truly the best.

Molly was amazing! She was very attentive to detail, she sent through updates and pictures each day, and took such great care of our cats— she eve brought special toys to play with them. Her love for cats and talent as a caregiver shone through all parts of her process. She genuinely cares for her clients cats and treats them as her own. I’ll definitely look forward to working with Molly again and highly recommend to any cat parents in the area!

Molly was wonderful! Our kitties took to her immediately and had a blast playing with her—she even took time to learn their favorite toys. She was super responsive and friendly throughout the process and sent great pictures and updates. Highly recommend Molly and will be using her again!

Molly was very responsible, feeding our kitty and cleaning up a mess she made. Unfortunately, our kitten was so scared of other people (she's barely gotten used to us) that she didn't come out of hiding long enough to play with Molly. But we appreciated the daily reports and photo of the kitty running to hide. We'll definitely ask for Molly the next time we need a sitter.
