Learn More About Katie

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

I have been cat sitting for friends, family, and clients for over 10 years. I’m truly a cat person through and through. Most of my day revolves around cats in one way or another, whether I’m caring for them, writing about them, or learning more about how to support their well-being.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat as an individual and earning their trust over time. I love learning their routines, personalities, and little quirks, and helping them feel comfortable and safe while their people are away. Plus, spending time with cats is genuinely my idea of a good time!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my favorite cat-sitting experiences was with a very shy cat (Sammy) who, I was told, would not come out for anyone but her owner. By my third visit, she was rolling over and happily accepting belly pets! Her owner was shocked by the photos and videos I sent, and it was incredibly rewarding to see that level of trust develop so quickly.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have four cats: Jax, Sadie, Cosmos, and Dede. They are all rescues and I love them so much 🥹

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

It’s important to choose someone who communicates clearly and takes the time to do a meet-and-greet because, as any cat parent knows, there are always lots of little details that matter!

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

My typical process starts with a meet-and-greet so I can learn about your cat’s personality, routine, health needs, and preferences. I ask detailed questions about feeding, litter habits, play style, medications (if any), and what helps your cat feel most comfortable while you’re away.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I ensure safety and security by closely following the cat’s routine and all care instructions provided by the owner. I’m especially careful when entering and exiting the home to prevent any cats from slipping out, and I always double-check doors and locks. I also do a quick scan of the home during each visit to make sure your cat hasn’t gotten into anything harmful or gained access to something unsafe. If I notice anything unusual with your cat’s behavior, appearance, or the home environment, I notify the owner right away and take appropriate action as needed.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toys are the humble crinkle ball and spring toy. They’re simple and affordable, but cats tend to love them!

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

I handle timid or anxious cats by letting them set the pace and never forcing interaction. I move slowly, speak softly, and stick closely to their routine to help them feel safe. I pay close attention to body language and use gentle encouragement, such as play or treats if appropriate, while respecting their space

Thank goodness for Katie! Katie is always on time, is good about communicating, does a good job with the litter boxes, and the cats love playing with her. Plus she is really nice! I am allergic to cats but found myself taking care of a loved one with two cats. Katie’s help really alleviated my allergies and kept the cats happy. We hired her multiple times during my stay and are so glad we did. Would absolutely hire her again.

Katie is a great cat sitter and a true cat person. She is calm, reliable, and truly understands cats. I always feel at ease knowing my cat is in her care, and her detailed updates and photos make being away so much easier and less stressful. You can feel confident hiring her as your cat sitter!

Katie is a great cat sitter and a genuinely good person. You can tell she really loves cats and enjoys caring for them. She also seems to have a knack for making cats feel comfortable. One of my cats is usually shy and hissy with anyone except me, but he accepted Katie quickly and now I think he likes her more than me! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Carmichael 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 $29.00. 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.
