What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cat Sitter position at Tales of the Kitty?
About the Role
Tales of the Kitty has been caring for the kitties of San Francisco for more than 23 years and we're looking to add more cat-loving, detail-oriented people to our team.
Are you a self-described cat person? When you see a cat in a window do you find yourself waving, talking to them or taking a picture?
If you’d love a flexible part-time job where no two days are the same — and where you get paid to spend time with kitties — this might be your purr-fect fit!
Schedule & Flexibility
Visits take place every day of the week, from early morning through early evening.
You’ll need a flexible schedule — sometimes visits change last-minute, and we’re busiest on weekends and holidays.
Holiday Availability Is Required
Our Service Area
We serve the following San Francisco neighborhoods and are looking for team members nearby (you must live within 1 mile of our service area to be considered):
Castro Civic Center Cole Valley Diamond Heights Haight (Upper & Lower) Hayes Valley Laurel Village/Heights Lower Nob Hill Marina/Cow Hollow Mission Mission Bay Nob Hill Noe Valley North Beach/Financial District Pacific Heights (Upper & Lower) Panhandle Potrero Hill/Dogpatch Russian Hill SOMA South Beach Western Addition
Reliable transportation is a plus but not required.
What We’re Looking For
● Genuine love and respect for cats
● Excellent communication and customer service skills
● Dependability and attention to detail
● Comfort working independently
● Flexibility with schedule changes
Note: This is a great source of supplemental income, but should not be relied on as your sole source of income, as hours vary with client demand.
How to Apply
If this sounds like the job for you, please send:
● Your resume
● A short letter telling us about yourself and your experience with animals
Include the word “meow” somewhere in your message — attention to detail is very important in this role!
All employees are bonded, insured, and background-checked through our company. Taxes are withheld as required by law.
We can’t wait to hear from you — and hope you’ll be a purr-fect fit for our team at Tales of the Kitty!
