Learn More About Linda

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I really love helping a pet through their parents being away. I am especially grateful when the cat(s) can enjoy my company and take advantage of pets and play and a warm body to sit on in the absence of their regular family. It makes me feel good to leave them happy and comfortable.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. I am frequently in town for many holidays and weekends and am happy to help people during these busier times.

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

Timid or anxious cats need space and time to get comfortable at their own pace. Some cats don't want to be petted or picked up or even acknowledged!! Sitting in their space quietly and letting THEM approach ME is key. Speaking softly and encouragingly to them can also be an ice-breaker!

Linda was fantastic with our cats. She went above and beyond to adapt to their different personalities as they like to play and show/receive love differently. It was a joy getting videos each day, especially of our older cat playing, who is a tough egg to crack. Additionally, not only was she also a great communicator, but she quickly responded to an incident that we noticed on our cat camera that needed quick attention while we were 3500 miles away from home. She accommodated the urgent need into her day despite her scheduled visitation time being later in the day. We would definitely trust Linda with our cats again!

Linda took such great care of my kittens! She had them playing and snuggling, and sent great pictures. One of them had a minor eye infection and she handled his medicine like a pro. I’ll definitely book her again. Thank you, Linda!!

Linda did a fantastic job and Bella was very calm and happy when we returned. She sent pics and got Bella to leave her hiding place, which isn't the easiest task.

I ultimately booked Linda because a review described her as a very smart and perceptive woman — and I found this to be extremely accurate as well! Linda anticipated needs and actively problem-solved to ensure our kitty was well taken care of, which eliminated any stress I had leaving him alone for so long! Linda was extremely communicative and timely, with hilarious messages and adorable photos of our Earl. Linda graciously accommodated any requests, kept our kitty feeling loved and entertained, and even cleaned his area so it was spotless when we got home from our long trip. You can tell Linda truly loves what she does. Earl now has a new best friend in Linda, who I trust will be there to provide all the cuddles, scritches, playtime, and kisses whenever we’re out of town! I simply could not recommend Linda more and will be referring her to the other cat-parents in my life!

Linda is THE best cat sitter we’ve had and I’m so lucky we got her to take care of our kitties Wally & Eva during the Christmas break. We were gone for 10 days and that’s the longest we’ve left them under someone else’s care. Linda sent us daily pictures and gave her impression of how the cats were doing. She gave them snacks and treats and lots of playtime. This is the first time I haven’t been worried about our cats since they were under such great care. Thank you so much Linda!♥️

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!
