Learn More About Kristida
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been catsitting for about a year now and it’s one of my favorite things to do! There’s nothing more rewarding than a cat happily greeting you. I’ve taken care of cats of all kinds, from young energetic furballs to seniors with medications. I love them all!!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love knowing that I’m giving pet parents peace of mind. It makes me happy knowing I’m helping both cats and their owners feel at ease when they’re apart, especially for owners with shy or skittish cats. I feel the same worries when I’m away from my babies, so I do my best to make it the best experience possible for everybody involved! Plus, befriending a shy cat is like getting a special badge of honor.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My priority is getting to know both you and your cat to make sure that both you are your cat feel safe and secure when you’re apart. This will help me understand the dynamics and how I can best support both of you in the best way possible!

Kristida is a reliable and responsible cat sitter. She is very organized and responsive sending daily updates/pics. She went above and beyond, and wasn’t phased by dealing with the occasional poop/hairball accidents. I trust her completely to take great care of my two precious fur babies.

Kristida was so incredibly! She helped in so many ways before I even asked. I was so anxious to leave my cat alone for so long but after a couple days I was completely at ease because I knew she was being well taken care of. Thank you Kristida!

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.
Berkeley cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $38.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
