Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA

My hope as your cat sitter is to spoil your cat(s), but my priority is to ease the stress of your absence and disturbance of their daily routine.

My hope as your cat sitter is to spoil your cat(s), but my priority is to ease the stress of your absence and disturbance of their daily routine.

A few things I can help spoil your cat with:
- A clean environment (daily liter box cleaning and fresh water)
- Regular meal times (special diets, special feeding instructions)
- Enrichment (playtime and lots of catnip, with your permission)
- All the love and pets they want (or none if they don’t)
- Cute photo and video updates

My day job as a Personal Assistant has also taught me how to care for others and respectfully manage a home. I currently live in San Francisco with my two girls, Emi and Millie.

Can’t wait to meet your cat (and you too)!

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 $39.00. 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!
