An animal lover, I've had cats in my life for over 30 years and enjoy everything about them! My current cat, Dude, is a handsome, social Tabby. He is my third cat. I've cat sit for several folks in the last few years and volunteer as a kitty caregiver at a rescue called Fearless Kitty in Fountain Hills. After ensuring the kitties are cared for, I get to socialize and play with them! It's a great way to start my Saturday! Working at Fearless Kitty gives me the opportunity to learn about cat behavior and how to watch for signs of distress.

Learn More About Kathy

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

Beyond caring for my own, I've been cat sitting through Meowtel for over a year now. I also volunteer as a kitty caregiver at a local rescue for the past three years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Playing! I like to get on the floor with some toys and just make it fun. Purrs and snuggles are the reward.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

So many favorites! I really enjoy my repeat customers, Wilbur and Ellie! Mr Bobo Pickles and Lottie are cuddle bugs too! My absolute favorite, though, is my own cat Dude. He's my best boy and we have a solid routine which he is in charge of!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Dude is my big boy! He's a gorgeous tabby that I rescued from the street 9 years ago. We are best buds.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

First, the meet and greet is important. I want to understand your cat's routine and get the layout of the environment. I take extensive notes to ensure the care I give your cat is the same as the care you give.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Always, always let the cat lead the interaction. If your cat hides, that's okay. I will, if course, get eyes on them. But if your cat doesn't want to come out, I respect that. I speak softly, move slowly and wait.

Kathy was absolutely amazing! Took care of 3 needy kitties, one of them requiring mess twice a day. Additionally, Kathy was attentive to my pets' needs and movements and kept me informed during every visit. She instantly learned about their personalities and I was just blown away by her care and obvious experience with cats. This was my first experience with Meowtel and I would highly recommend this service and especially Kathy.

Kathy is very thorough, communicative and trustworthy. My cat is usually sad when I go away, but Kathy was so engaging with her that I don’t think she missed me as much as usual. She waited by the door for Kathy’s visits, and still waited by the door after we all returned home! You and your cat will love Kathy. We’re excited to rebook with her on our next trip.

I can’t say enough great things about Kathy. I hired her super last minute to drop in and feed my cats, clean their litter boxes, and check on them while I was away. Not only did she take amazing care of them, but she also went above and beyond, cleaning up after their messes and making sure everything was in order and gave them treats. She was friendly, engaging, and sent me daily pictures and updates, which gave me total peace of mind when I was away from my babies. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Truly amazing service and care, especially during Christmas week and on such short notice!

The reservation went well! My cat felt comfortable enough to come out from under the bed, which doesn't usually happen. Receiving detailed check-ins and pictures put me at ease while I was out of town too.

I had a wonderful experience with Kathy and would absolutely recommend her. She had great communication the entire time and sent me lots of pictures, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. I was especially amazed at how comfortable one of my formerly feral foster cats was with her. He has never warmed up to anyone so quickly before! She truly seems to have a magic touch with cats. When I returned home, all of my cats were happy and well cared for, and the litter boxes were meticulously clean. I felt completely comfortable leaving my cats in her care and will definitely have her watch them again in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:


  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
  • 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Mesa cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
