I'm Kathryn | Cat Sitting in Winnetka, CA

Why Hello There! My name is Kathryn, and I'd love to become your cat sitter! I've had cats my whole life, and making sure they are comfortable, happy, and pampered is a passion of mine! Prior to joining Meowtel, I've worked for several years caring for cats in many capacities. I've done volunteer work at several cat shelters, and have been a foster cat parent. I'm what they call a "failed" foster cat mom...because I ended up adopting my 2 foster cats! Their names are Trixie and Hobbit, and they are the sweetest little rascals you'd ever meet. In addition to that, I've also worked as a cat sitter for the last ten years - sometimes for friends and family, and some for a roster of cat sitting clients I've built on my own. When I'm not taking care of my fur babies (and yours!) I am a full time screenwriter. I'm originally from the east coast, but moved to LA just before the pandemic hit...

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been a cat sitter for over 10 years,

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation was my very first one with Meowtel! It was for an adorable but shy little boy named Tupperware. "Tup" was very scared at first, but by the 2nd visit he was feeling a bit brave. The first time he let me pet him, it felt like I won the lottery - I was so honored! By the end of the reservation he was my best little buddy. He loves to supervise every step I made and was a huge snuggle bunny. He kept falling asleep in my lap whenever I sat down which was so heart wrenching when I had to eventually go! I adore Tupperware and love when I get to see him again!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes - I have 2 little house gremlins. Their names are Trixie and Hobbit and they are the king and queen of mischief! Trixie is the brains of the operation and Hobbit is the muscle. They are the best of friends and spend most of the day pouncing on each and playing (when they aren't cuddled together for a snooze!)

Kate took great care of my 4 cattos. Me and my partner really enjoyed getting her detailed updates and pictures and seeing how happy our kitties were when she came to visit them. She even got our shyest kitty to come out of his shell and play on the last day. Communication with Kate was seamless. I will definitely hire Kate again in the future, and can confidently recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent cat sitter.

Kathryn is amazing. I would highly recommend using her to care for your animals. I hope she’s available the next time I’m out of town because she’s my first choice for sure.

Once again Kathryn was exceptional and went above and beyond in caring for my multiple cats. I didn’t worry for one second while I was away for six days on vacation!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $43.00. 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.
