I'm Kristin

Cat Sitting in Sherman Oaks, CA

My love for orange cats began years ago through a friendship with our neighbor’s cat, Homer. From that moment on, I knew I wanted an orange cat of my own, and I’ve had orange cats ever since. Caring for them has given me plenty of experience with strong personalities, firm opinions, and lots of charm, while also reinforcing how different each cat’s temperament can be.

Over the years, I’ve cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, from formerly feral cats to affectionate lap cats. Growing up around cats and adopting my own has taught me how important it is to respect each cat’s routines, boundaries, and comfort level...
My love for orange cats began years ago through a friendship with our neighbor’s cat, Homer. From that moment on, I knew I wanted an orange cat of my own, and I’ve had orange cats ever since. Caring for them has given me plenty of experience with strong personalities, firm opinions, and lots of charm, while also reinforcing how different each cat’s temperament can be.

Over the years, I’ve cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, from formerly feral cats to affectionate lap cats. Growing up around cats and adopting my own has taught me how important it is to respect each cat’s routines, boundaries, and comfort level. I always approach care with the understanding that I’m entering the cat’s home and let them set the pace for trust, space, or affection.

I’ve come to deeply appreciate how important it is to have a trustworthy, reliable, and experienced person caring for my own cats—especially during times when work or travel took me away. Knowing my cats were in good hands made all the difference, and that’s the same peace of mind I aim to provide every pet parent.

I value clear communication and take pride in being dependable, observant, and calm. Cat sitting allows me to set my schedule intentionally so I can be present for my twin daughters, while also giving each cat the time, patience, and care they deserve. Cat people are special people—and life really is better with cats.

Learn More About Kristin

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a four-year-old orange cat, Nelson—full of personality—and my first indoor/outdoor cat, teaching safety, routine, consistency, and attentiveness.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy, based on my current kitty, is a laser—it gives exercise and engages natural hunting instincts daily.

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

I handle timid or anxious cats by giving them space and allowing them to move at their own pace. After learning about the cat’s personality and routines from the owner, I approach care in a way that respects their boundaries, comfort level, and need for calm, consistency.

Sherman Oaks cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. 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!
