Learn More About Karina

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to meet different cats and experience their unique personalities. I like to play with them with their toys and give them chin scratches if they let me.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! His name is Kitty and he is a spicy short hair tuxedo. He loves chin and butt scratches. He likes to play with yarn and watch the birds.

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

My cat is anxious, so I give him plenty of space and privacy. With new cats, I would stay in one spot and let the cat decide what they want to do. I would make sure their food and water are refilled, so that when I leave, they can come out of hiding to eat and drink. I understand I’m scary and new to the cat and the cat isn’t used to me, so my best method is to give them space.

Karina was an excellent sitter. She was friendly, communicative, and thorough - taking notes on what I'd like done and sending regular updates. She clearly cares a lot about cats and I'd happily hire her again.

Karina is exactly the kind of cat sitter you’d want for your pet. She’s friendly and calm, and ends up being a favorite very quickly. She’s great even with the most sassy of cats, which is no easy feat.

Karina is incredibly responsible and caring. She takes pride in her work and wants to ensure that your cat is taken care of to the fullest. She cares a lot about making sure your cat's needs are met, whether that's medical, food, playtime, or cuddles. I highly recommend her to those who need a responsible cat sitter who genuinely cares about the care they provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sacramento 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.
