I'm Noelle
Cat Sitting in San Rafael, CA
During visits, I keep routines consistent, give plenty of love and enrichment, and pay close attention to their ... With over 40 years of cat-care experience, I bring a calm, patient approach to every visit. I take my time earning each cat’s trust, reading their body language, and meeting them at their comfort level, whether that means playful energy, quiet companionship, or cozy cuddles.
During visits, I keep routines consistent, give plenty of love and enrichment, and pay close attention to their wellbeing. I’m dedicated, gentle, and truly tuned in to what makes each cat feel safe and happy. During each visit, I focus on creating a peaceful environment: fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of affection (if your cat wants it!), and attentive observation to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I also send detailed updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
Cats have been a constant source of comfort and joy in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, and they’ve been part of my home throughout most of my adult years. Caring for cats has always felt natural to me, which is why I’ve been cat sitting for over 40 years. It’s truly from the heart. I love getting to know each cat’s personality, earning their trust, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their family is away. I love getting to know each cat as an individual… the shy ones who need patience and gentle encouragement, the playful ones who can’t resist a wand toy, and the snugglers who just want a warm lap and soft words. I take the time to earn their trust, to understand their routines, and to make sure they feel loved and cared for.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is building a connection with each cat and seeing them feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I love getting to know their personalities—the shy ones who slowly come around, the playful ones who light up with a toy, and the snuggly ones who just want quiet companionship. It’s incredibly rewarding to earn their trust, share in their little moments of joy, and provide care that gives both the cat and their family peace of mind. Cat sitting isn’t just a job for me… it’s a chance to share affection, play, and calm companionship with cats I truly enjoy spending time with.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I take safety and security very seriously, both for the cats and the home. I make sure doors and windows are securely closed, follow any house rules carefully, and keep an eye on any potential hazards so the environment stays safe for the cat. I handle feeding, litter, and play routines exactly as instructed, and I monitor the cat closely for any signs of stress or health issues. I also respect the family’s privacy and property, leaving the home as I found it. My goal is to provide peace of mind so both the cat and their humans feel secure while I’m caring for them.

Noelle was fantastic! I’m so lucky she could take care of my special needs, senior gal. My cat needs to take four pills every day, so leaving her is stressful, but I can fully trust Noelle to make sure she gets her medicine and love.

We felt so at ease on our trip knowing Noelle was staying with our cat Thor. She updated us regularly with pictures and responded quickly when we were getting ready for the trip. Would highly recommend and would have her cat sit for us again!

San Rafael cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $42.00. 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!
