Learn More About Karen
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have over 22 years experience with in home professional cat sitting. I am also experienced in administering medication, being a prior vet tech
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My husband and I have 1 beautiful, female tabby cat named "Trinity". We rescued/adopted her at 6 months of age from a wonderful organization called Happy Cats Haven.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I have found that the best way to work with shy, timid or anxious cats is to go slow. It takes time and patience to earn the trust and love of these cats. Soft speaking and slow movements help with your approach. Once you truly breakthrough and bond with this type of cat, it is extremely rewarding!

Colorado Springs cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
