Learn More About Karin
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is forming a bond with each cat and seeing them feel safe, comfortable and happy in my care. I love getting to know their unique personalities, routines, and providing gentle attention and affection on their terms. Being able to give peace of mind to Parents, while ensuring their furry friends are well cared for is incredibly rewarding. Every visit is an opportunity to make a cat feel loved and secure, which is truly fulfilling for me as a lifelong cat lover.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Keeping cats and their home safe is one of my top priorities. I carefully follow any instructions from Parents regarding routines, feeding or medications and I make sure the environment is secure by checking doors, windows and any areas where a curious cat could get into trouble. My experience caring for my own indoor cats has taught me the importance of creating a safe space and being vigilant about potential hazards which I bring to every home I sit in. While I am cat sitting, I supervise play, remove or secure dangers and provide updates and photos to owners so they feel confident their cats are happy, healthy and well protected while they are away.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When caring for cats that are particularly timid or anxious, I prioritize patience, observation and letting the cats set the pace. I approach slowly and quietly, giving them space to come to me rather than forcing interaction. I use gentle talk, soft movements, and sometimes treats or toys to create positive associations . I watch their body language closely to ensure they feel safe and comfortable and I adjust my approach based on their reactions. My goal is to build trust gradually, helping them feel secure so they can relax and enjoy the attention at their own pace.

It was so very easy to book Karin on the site! Karin contacted me immediately and we booked a preview day. I prepared everything for our absence and Karin followed everything to a tea! Karin was such a kind and amazing sitter! She cared for my babies like they were her own! She played with them and did all the messy chores too! I would highly recommend Karin to everyone and I will be using her again in a few weeks!

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.
Woodland Hills cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $36.00. 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!
