Hi, fellow cat lovers! 🐾

I’m a caring, responsible, and detail-oriented person who understands that cats aren’t just pets—they’re beloved members of the family!

With a strong background in caregiving, household assistance, and customer service, I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every cat in my care.

I understand that every cat has a unique personality. Some love endless cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their independence and a little extra patience. I always respect their individual needs and routines, making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away.

During my visits, I’ll make sure your kitty has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention, and playtime if they enjoy it. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

I’m naturally organized, dependable, and attentive to the little details. I also understand how important it is to respect your home and leave everything clean and tidy.

My goal is simple: to give your cat the love and attention they deserve while giving you complete peace of mind.

I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ❤️🐱

Learn More About Kristina

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats that I love so much! One is a tubby (Eva) and the other one is a mix with long hair (Zora).

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

Choose someone who genuinely loves cats, is reliable, and understands their unique personalities. Communication and trust are essential! I recommend finding a sitter who respects your cat’s routine, provides regular updates, and treats your furry family member like their own.

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

I like to start with a meet-and-greet to get to know you and your cat. We’ll discuss feeding schedules, routines, personality, and any special needs. During visits, I provide attentive care, plenty of love, and regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away worry-free!

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.

Richmond cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $41.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
