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 went above and beyond to care for our cat. He is usually shy, but warmed right up to her. It was a pleasure to work with her and to know that we were leaving him in good hands. Thank you Kristida!

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Berkeley cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

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

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
