Cat Sitters in San Francisco

Your cat stays in their own home, with their own routine

SF cats live in some of the most distinctive apartments in the country, Edwardian flats with bay windows, Mission lofts with skylights, Castro top-floor units with city views. Removing them from that environment for a boarding facility almost always creates more stress than the trip itself. Cat sitting drop-in visits on Petme connect you with verified SF sitters across the Mission, Noe Valley, Bernal Heights, Castro, Pacific Heights, and beyond who come to your home so your cat stays in their own space.

Petme charges SF cat owners 0% commission. The per-visit rate is the full price. Every booking includes up to $20,000 in vet protection, important coverage in a city where emergency-vet visits at VCA San Francisco or SAGE Centers can otherwise run into the thousands.

SF cat drop-in visits typically run $28 to $50 per visit, among the highest US metro rates. Pacific Heights, Marina, and Noe Valley sit higher; Bernal Heights, Inner Sunset, and Outer Mission run lower. Petme charges 0% owner commission.
Are SF cat sitters comfortable with apartment access?▾

Can sitters give medication or subcutaneous fluids?▾

Can I book a sitter for an out-of-town trip from SFO?▾
