Cat Sitting in South San Francisco, CA
I am a lifelong animal lover, with cats and seals being my favorite animals. In addition to cat sitting, I also volunteer with Harbor Seal pups at T... I love cats! I love their wide range of personalities, and the fuzzy feeling when they warm up to you. I have one cat of my own, a tortoiseshell rescue named Aya that I've had since 2018. She means the world to me!
I am a lifelong animal lover, with cats and seals being my favorite animals. In addition to cat sitting, I also volunteer with Harbor Seal pups at The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito! Since 2014 I've helped prep food and feed the seals, as well handling lots of pen cleaning and record keeping.
I serve the Peninsula area at all times of day. I know how important cats are to their owners, and my goal is to give you the complete peace of mind on your trip that your cat is being well loved and taken care of!

David took care of our anxious kitties and cleaned up after some messes! One of our cats is easily startled and made a mess after one such events. David took pictures so we could figure out what happened and cleaned up well! The cats have also taken a liking to David and would play with him.

David is a true cat person. He showed up at the first meet the cats meeting and just beelined for the cats :D. He is professional, thorough and the shy cats were coming out to greet him after the few initial days. They now ask me daily where that guy went. Highly recommend!

David is awesome and was super thorough in his visit. He was very detailed at taking notes in our first meet and greet, and sent me a play-by-play of his visit on the day of (with humorous flavor). My cats were also comfortable with him right away; they probably sensed his good vibes :)

David went above and beyond with his feedback after each visit; he gave a rundown of the foods he gave to our cats each time and let us how much each one ate. And he provided some funny anecdotes of his interactions with each cat. He did a great job learning and catering to their personalities and made us feel confident that our cats were being well taken care of. We would absolutely book David again!

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.
South San Francisco cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. 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!

David did a great job watching Diego our senior shy cat with stomach issues. David did a good job making note of what Diego ate each day and sent us pictures of how he was doing. I would definitely book David again on Meowtel because I was happy with how he cared for Diego.

David was polite, kind, professional, dependable, punctual, and detail oriented. He wrote meticulous notes and followed instructions perfectly. He sent a step by step report of the care taking with many pictures. He definitely loves cats and that makes all the difference! I will definitely want to hire him again!

David managed to get my shy cats to warm up to him, and he spent quite a bit of time just sitting with the cats! He was observant and cleaned whenever needed. We enjoyed his updates with an album of our cats’ pictures. Thank you David!

David was amazing! Not only did he understand our requests perfectly but he also went above and beyond to make us feel reassured about being away from our cats for a little bit. During one of the visits we ran out of litter and David found the exact brand and store so that he could go pick up more. He also left thorough recaps and cute pics of the visits each time. I would book with him again 100% and cannot recommend him enough.

David was a godsend when we needed a catsitter on short notice when I was leaving for 10 days, and each cat needed specific care instructions. Our cats warmed up to him right away, and he truly delivered care beyond the feeding and litter scooping. He's also a great cat photographer, and took some photogenic shots of our cats! His reliability and compentency gave me great peace of mind, and I think our cats miss him!

This was the 3rd time David has sat for me. As always, he was fantastic. My girls each have ‘personalities’ 🥴 and he literally had them eating out of his hand. I recommend David to everyone! 👍😎

David was our first kitty caretaker from Meowtel and he was wonderful! He was prompt with his feedings, gave us great, thoughtful updates with each visit, and took excellent care of our kitty. He managed to help our shy cat warm up over the few days he took care of him and sent great photos to us. He exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be hiring him again!

David did a fantastic job taking care of my girls. Jett is a daddy’s girl who gets very grumpy when I’m gone and Ali is skittish and usually hides the entire time I’m away. David was able to get Jett to relax a bit and was even able to pet Ali. I recommend him to anyone, especially if you have finicky cats. 👍😎

David obviously loves cats and appreciates all their different personalities. my cat is anxious and not great with new people. He was sweet and gentle with Minnie and made her feel safe. David also have very detailed reports. I would gladly hire home again.

David did an awesome job of taking care of my kitties. He followed directions and understood their needs. My kitties warmed up to him and he knew how to overcome any of their hesitations as they got to know him. He was clean and took the time to do everything right, including giving one her needed medication. On top of this he sent great reports and photos to assure me all was well at home1 I highly recommend David, I would definitely hire him again. Very satisfied client!! :))

David is a rare find. Trustworthy, friendly, the best updates and pics ever. it is so easy for me to travel knowing he’s caring for Bandit. I think Bandit likes him more than me because David spoils him well. Definitely a keeper and highly recommended.

While we went on a 10 day holiday, David took care of our 2 cats with very different personalities. One kitty is very shy and the other one can't get enough pets. David was wonderful with both fur babies and we got detailed updates and photos daily. We also have 2 reptiles and fish that he cared for. We returned to a house and pets in tip-top shape.

this is the third time we have had David pet sit for us and he has been 100% amazing each time. Great communicator, takes care of food, water, litter box maintenance flawlessly. And the most important is that he spends quality time with our kitties. I never worry when I’m away when David pet sits for us. He gives us such great peace of mind.
