I'm Jen
Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA
My visits follow steady routines, enrichment that fits your cat’s personality,... I’m a retired federal employee and Army veteran, and an experienced cat sitter with a calm, low‑pressure approach that helps even sensitive cats feel secure. I pay close attention to emotional temperature, stress cues, and each cat’s preferred interaction style - whether they’re offering slow blinks from across the room or trotting over for immediate affection.
My visits follow steady routines, enrichment that fits your cat’s personality, and clear, thoughtful updates so you always feel connected while you’re away. I’m trained in pet CPR and first aid, fully insured, and experienced with cats at every life stage, including seniors with medical needs. I also keep multi‑pet homes balanced and peaceful with organized, confident handling.
My goal is simple: your pets feel genuinely cared for, and you feel complete peace of mind knowing they’re in capable, compassionate hands.
Learn More About Jen
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I began cat-sitting when I retired from federal service but have been volunteering at shelters and caring for others pets throughout my life. I’ve been a pet care professional since 2025 and have been caring for cats for decades.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
My favorite cat sitting client is a drop in client - a Maine Coone kitten who is growing into an adult and who lives with a German Shepherd. Watching him grow in confidence, balancing his needs with the other pet in the household, and ensuring he felt safe and confident enough to eat (and the food met his discerning tastes :-)) was an absolute joy. By the way he is just one of my favorites!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My typical process involves a meet and greet where I learn about you, your home, and your cat. If there are meds, dietary needs, play requests, or cuddle requests, or quiet space requests we go over that. I’ve had others care for my pets over the years and know just how important it is to trust the person caring for your cat and in your home.

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!
