'Shelly was a literal angel in my life and in the life of my cat Jupiter. I highly recommend her services and care. She is kind, professional and utterly committed to cats and what they need. Whenever I would marvel at her abilities, she would humbly say; "I'm all about the kitties." '

"As a veterinarian and a friend, I feel extremely confident in recommending Shelly and Tales of the Kitty. She is caring and very experienced, with superb judgment when it comes to the health and well-being of cats. I have had the pleasure of joining her on some visits and found her to be thorough and respectful of clients homes and personal spaces. Most importantly, she loves the kitties, treating them as though her own -- understanding their individual needs (and wants). Shelly also doesn't hesitate to call me if she has any pressing concerns about a kitty's health. Once you meet Shelly, you will understand what I mean and you will also know that she has impressed her high standards on the other kitty caretakers in her company. And if you're not in a neighborhood serviced by TOTK, Shelly can personally recommend alternatives.  Tales of the Kitty is the way to go when looking for the best in kitty care in San Francisco."

"Of all the pet caregivers you'll come across, Tales of Kitty are the absolute best. I'm quite sure they were cats in their former lives. They are caring, playful and attentive with our two cats, Miyu and Lolo. But even more, we've found Shelly and her team to be consummate professionals who are trustworthy, and possess a deep empathy for both cats and owners alike. Last year, they went well above the call of duty for myself and my husband. When we suddenly had to go east to attend to a family emergency, the Tales of Kitty team not only cared for our two little ones, but they also helped us with gathering some personal documents from our home. Despite the stressful situation, we were able to rest assured that Miyu and Lolo were in very good hands during our absence."

"Nicole has been cat sitting for us for almost 2 years. We rely on her to take care of our little prince, Gizmo. Nicole just loves Gizmo and has been taking care of him since he was a kitten. She is thoughtful about sending us an email or text message after her first day of cat sitting to let us know he is doing. When we return from our trips, we often find Nicole has left us with a new cat toy or fun treat. I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided by Tales of the Kitty - Nicole's approach is professional and reliable - and we leave on trips confident that our little kitty is in good hands."

"Tales of the Kitty is a blessing. I have worked with Shelly for many years and I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving my kitties in her care. She is attentive and communicates with you while you are away. She even went as far as to send me pictures via email when I was gone for a long time. Shelly and team love what they do and it shows. My kitties adore her."

"As a fellow pet sitter, and Registered Veterinary Technician, I must say, Shelly is the best cat sitter I have ever met. Her attention to detail, and genuine love for cat's amazes me. She is a true professional, and anytime I have a kitty sitting question, she is my go to girl!"
