Learn More About Katarina

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I just love meeting new cats and learning their personalities… and seeing what they like in terms of pets, toys etc… it’s always a mini adventure.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I have a wand with these 2 feathers on the end of it that has hands down gotten the best reaction out of my cats so far. Outside of that, hair ties are a long standing favorite as well as crumpled up paper balls. ;)

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

Just with lots of time. You can’t rush the process. When it comes to gaining a cat’s trust, you just have to be still and quiet and gentle and hope that over time the cat becomes curious enough to give you a chance… but some little tricks could be talking in a gentle, soft voice and also getting the cat to play is an excellent route to try.

Kat is absolutely wonderful with cats! She’s reliable, attentive, and has a calm, caring presence that animals naturally trust. Every time she’s watched my cat, I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and a spotless space. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter who will treat your pet like her own.

Katrina is amazing, talented, and brilliant human being. She’s has wonderful creative mind, and follows through on her ideas, and responsibilities. She is someone I admire, and respect very much. She will be great on anything she focuses on because it’s who she is.

Frequently Asked Questions

Van Nuys cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
