Learn More About Christina

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

I’ve been petting sitting for 20+ years! It all started when I began working at an animal shelter in Lancaster, PA. I worked exclusively in the Cat Adoption Center, where I worked to medically vet and adopt out our shelter cats. This is where I met cat parents who needed a sitter w cat experience they could trust and began accepting cat sitting jobs. Since then, I’ve done everything from simple stop-ins to multiple weeks of full-time cat sitting in a mountain cabin. I’ve sat for young cats, old cats, handicapped cats, and cranky cats - and I’ve loved them ALL! I love being around cats and spending time with them, so cat sitting is the perfect way for me to do that!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have 3 adult cats: Inky (13+), Sweet Potato (11+), and Clark (8+). All were found outside doing “cat stuff” and now live 100% indoors.

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

I understand that cats are not dogs, which means cats have opinions on “how things outta be” and I respect that. A timid or anxious cat should not be pressured by anyone to be anything other than what they are and their space should always be respected. If a cat client is timid or anxious, I will speak to them softly, give them space, make sure their needs are met, and ensure that my actions in their home do not exacerbate their anxiety or fear. I often find that letting a cat have time to adjust to my presence w/out pressure reduces their feelings of anxiety and makes them more comfortable.

Christina is the absolute best cat sitter. I can’t attest to the fact that there isn’t a cat she can’t give a pill. She is kind and truly loves all cats. She is trust worthy, reliable and has had vast experience with cats of a different temperaments.

Christina cares A LOT about cats. They are her sidekicks, friends, and familiars. She’s never met a cat she didn’t like and she’ll never shy away from the chance to make a nervous cat more comfortable. Christina is a pleasant person to interact with, a great communicator, and one of her greatest joys is just being in a room w/ a cat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lake Forest cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
