Heath Thompson
SF Cat People did a really great job in looking after my cat Ming.
I had great communication with Wilma who kept me in the loop every step of the way.
I came home to a very happy puss!
I have no hesitation in booking SF Cat People the next time I'm going away

What do you love most about your job?
Cats are my favorite kind of people. What's not to love?!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been caring for other people's Cats for 30+ years. I started Professional Cat Sitting in 2021 after reassessing my life after the loss of my Wellness Business due to the Pandemic. Once I started I remember thinking "What took me so long, this is definitely the job for me" It just seemed so obvious.
Since working with cats in their homes I have realized that my previous career training puts me in an ideal position to be able to offer coaching. As a Cat-Coach I am able to coach folx dealing with behavioral issues, nutrition support and end of life transitions and letting go. The reason I trained in Hypnosis was because I saw how profoundly it helped my husband let go of his beloved 20 year old cat.
Why should our clients choose you?
In Australia I volunteered with the Cat Protection Society so I have interacted with cats of all sorts including shy, neglected and traumatized kitties. Cats seem to love me as much as I love them. I work especially well with Elder Cats and Kitties with special needs. I have a Veterinary Assistant Certification from SF City College. Cat Folx Sf is fully insured and bonded.
I am certified as a Professional Coach and Consulting Hypnotist.
I have served Clients with a high level of professionalism all my life. I owned and operated an Acupuncture Clinic and have been a Practice Manager in the Medical Field. I was a Registered Nurse in Australia before moving to San Francisco in 2010. I'm meticulous and organized and have given all manner of medications.

Kitty Concierge
Key Pickup and Drop Off
Pick up of Food or Litter on the way to your kitty's visit as required. We will use the closest Pet Shop to your home.
Behavioral Consult
Learn how to make your cats happy in the homes that they share with you. Cat problems are people problems and we come from the viewpoint that behavioral issues are most often about surrendering ourselves to the way of the cat rather than making cats change or trying to control their actions.
Nutrition Consult
While there isn't a single diet that is ideal for all cats, in general, most do best when they eat foods that are high in moisture and protein and relatively low in carbohydrates. Cats are Obligate Carnivores so the bottom line—there's no such thing as a vegetarian cat. We suggest a raw food diet for most situations but are able to provide suggestions for specific medical issues and age groups.
Overnight Visit in your Home
Your sitter will stay at your home for 10 hours so can include morning and evening medications and feedings.
There must be an allocated bedroom with clean sheets, towels and privacy.
For periods of longer than 7 days please email us meow@catpeoplesf.com to book.
