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.

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.
Sacramento cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
