I’ve been around pets my whole life, but cats have always held a special place in my heart. I’m fascinated by their unique personalities and enjoy earning their trust at their own pace. During each visit, I focus on building rapport with your cat while following their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’ll also treat your home with the utmost respect—like a guest, not just a sitter. What sets me apart is my deep intuition with cats and my calm, grounded presence, which helps even shy or anxious cats feel at ease. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priorities.

Learn More About Briana

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I love most about cat sitting is meeting new feline friends and helping them feel safe, loved, and cared for while their humans are away. Building that trust and connection—even for a short time—is truly special.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 17-year-old beautiful calico named Ivy Tiger. She started as a stray, showing up for dinner nightly, and slowly adopted me. She was shy and a little wild at first, but with time, patience, and lots of quiet moments together, we built a strong bond. Now she lives a cozy indoor life, loves to sunbathe in her favorite window spot, and plays “catch the snake” like a kitten. Gaining her trust has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life—she’s not just my cat, she’s my dear friend.

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

For timid or anxious cats, I move slowly, speak softly, and give them plenty of space. I let them approach me when they’re ready, never forcing interaction. Building trust takes patience, and I’m always respectful of their boundaries.

Briana did such a great job caring for my kitties! I have one kitty who takes medicine for his thyroid, she asked questions about him and my other kitties and took notes , so i felt comfortable that she would take good care of them. She sent text updates every day so I knew they were all okay. I would definitely use her again.

Brianna was simply amazing. I have 5 shy cats that need a little time and patience to warm up to a new person. Briana handled this like a champ and was able to get all of them to warm up to her. I set the bar pretty high since I used to own a pet sitting business in Manhattan. I can honestly say she lived up to my expectations and I’ll definitely keep having her back.

I am so thankful for Briana’s taking care of the essentials for my cats while we were out of town. I booked very last minute, and I was very thankful and impressed with how our virtual meet and greet went. She was very attentive and asked many questions to make sure she was ready when she came by the house. One of my cats can be grumpy and hissy, and the other hides from everyone; Briana understood they needed their distance, and she took care of business. Thank you so much, Briana!

From the moment I met Briana I knew she was a great fit to watch my fur babies and she did not disappoint. She sent me a text each day to let me know she had arrived. And sent pictures of the kitties she would see. She was determined to cokes out as many as she could. I knew she was accepted when Gracie came out to give her love and purrs. Then when I came home to a swept up and in order house, it made me so happy. That I didn’t have to do anything when I’ve got home from a long trip. Briana earned a Gold Star in my book and I look forward to having her watch my fur babies in the future!

Briana was amazing!! I have a super needy cat and a very shy cat who both struggle when I leave for extended time. Briana did a fantastic job with both and my shy cat warmed up to her in a way she has never done with anyone else. She is an excellent communicator and left my home nicer than she found it. I can’t recommend her enough.

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 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 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 Meet & Greet!
