Trusted Cat Sitters for San Francisco Bay Parents

A purr-fessional provides in-home care while you’re away so your cat can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Services typically include feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, medication administration, grooming support, and daily updates with photos.Experienced sitters also monitor for subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, or litter box habits that may indicate stress or medical concerns.

Most professional sitters charge between $30–$55 per visit depending on visit length, neighborhood, holiday demand, and your cat’s care needs. Overnight care generally ranges from $90–$160 per night. Pricing may increase for multiple cats, medication administration, senior or special-needs care, holidays, or longer visits. While lower-cost options exist, experienced sitters typically provide additional value through fear-free handling, reliable communication, emergency preparedness, and medical experience.

For many cats, yes. Cat sitting in the home allows your cat to stay in a familiar space with their usual scents, routines, and hiding spots. This reduces stress, appetite changes, and litter box issues that can occur in unfamiliar boarding environments. Cat sitting is especially beneficial for anxious or shy cats, senior cats, cats requiring medication, multi-cat households and cats that are especially sensitive to environmental change. Boarding may still be appropriate in certain situations, but many cat parents prefer in-home care because it minimizes disruption and provides more individualized attention.

Most cats benefit from at least one visit per day, though many cat parents choose twice-daily visits for companionship, medication schedules, or additional monitoring. Kittens, senior cats, and medically complex cats require more frequent check-ins. Longer or more frequent visits can also help reduce stress and boredom for highly social cats. And even healthy, independent cats should not be left alone for extended periods without someone monitoring their food and water intake, litter box activity, and behavioral changes.

Many professional cat sitters can administer medications, including pills, liquid medications, topical medications, insulin injections, and subcutaneous fluids. However, it’s important to ask about training and comfort level during the meet-and-greet. Cats with medical needs often do best with sitters experienced in fear-free handling and low-stress medication techniques. Always provide clear written instructions and inform your sitter about any past medication difficulties or behavioral triggers.
