Learn More About Kristina

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

I have had nothing but great experiences with cat sitting! I started in February of 2022 and have had over 25 clients since!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 4 cats! My family and I rescued a mom cat and her 4 babies back in May 2020. Unfortunately one of the kitties passed in May 2022 due to the FIP illness. I have the mom named Virgo (named after my astrological sign), and her three babies are Zeus, Boots, and Luna.

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

I recommend reaching out to the cat sitter you're interested in and asking any questions or concerns you have before booking! Not all cat sitters are experienced handling certain situations, so it is good to ask first before booking and assuming. Get to know your potential cat sitter as much as possible. I always enjoy answering any questions about my personal life and cat sitting expertise.

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

When I come through the door, I carefully open it in case any cats are hanging by the door from the inside. This prevents them from running out if they do have a tendency of doing that. I always reach my hand out in front of them so they can get familiar with my scent. I then pet them gently so they know I mean no harm. In the house, I will look around in the general living space and listen for any odd noises. This helps me ensure it is only me in the home (unless otherwise told). This helps me feel safe during my visit. If I do notice anything strange, I will let the client know asap.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Most of the time yes. Please look at my availability on my calendar as I do close off dates as soon as I know I will be out of town or unavailable.

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

I am gentle with my movements and don't do anything that would make the cat more anxious or timid. Being on ground level with them also helps from what I have noticed. I speak gently and will do my best to get them calm. I do not and will not force them to come out if they are hiding.

Kristina did a wonderful job caring for my little Persian. He needs lots of love and good brushings. Kristina did both! She also took time to let him play with his favorite feather toy. He was all fluffy and in good spirits when I returned home.

Kristina was communicative, followed all instructions and had no problems with my two kitties. A great experience and flexible with my poor timing and scheduling.

Kristina is friendly and responsible. She took great care of our cats when we were away. She communicated with us daily and even sent us some pics of our cats. We feel fortunate to find such a great cat sitter.

Kristina was a great cat sitter for us! She was a prompt communicator, for the reservation confirmation , the initial visit and during the visits, She kept us informed of each visit (including some adorable photos) - we knew our cats were being well cared-for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Newark cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $41.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes 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 comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
