Cat Sitting in Erie, CO

As a long-time kitty mom, I provide attentive and reliable care to kitties of varying personalities and who may have unique needs or complex care routines. My priorities are making your kitty feel safe, loved and entertained in your absence, and providing you with peace of mind.

As someone who has utilized sitting in the past, I understand the importance of having a reliable and responsible sitter, and wanting to know your cat is safe and secure. So I’m happy to send plenty of photos and videos so you’re reassured that all is...
As a long-time kitty mom, I provide attentive and reliable care to kitties of varying personalities and who may have unique needs or complex care routines. My priorities are making your kitty feel safe, loved and entertained in your absence, and providing you with peace of mind.

As someone who has utilized sitting in the past, I understand the importance of having a reliable and responsible sitter, and wanting to know your cat is safe and secure. So I’m happy to send plenty of photos and videos so you’re reassured that all is well! Additionally, I have several years of experience with enrichment play, cleaning litter boxes, feeding schedules, and medication administration.

Personality-wise, I’m calm and collected, and tend to connect well with felines (and canines). I’ve sat for both on and off for 25 years, since I was a teen. Over the years I’ve become adept at reading body language and tuning in to what a pet is communicating.

I’m currently in the process of becoming Pet First Aid/CPR certified through PSI, and expect to have completed certification by the end of April 2026.

I strive to do my part to make sure your time away is worry-free, for both you and your cat(s). I’m looking forward to discussing how to I can best care for them.

Bless~

Learn More About Krystyna

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

I’ve regularly cared for my friend’s kitties over the years, starting when I was a teen. More recently, I’ve provided consistent care though Meowtel for the past year. I focus on providing calm, attuned presence, especially for kitties who are shy or sensitive.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love when a kitty follows me everywhere and wants constant attention. I take it as a very high compliment, and am happy to oblige them.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I’m torn between 2: the last time I watched a cat (Pumpkin) was a couple of months ago. I’d never met her, but she was glued to me the entire time I was there (3 days). Another time, a few years ago, I house/cat-sat for another friend. I played with her 2 cats, Taco and Kodak, using a feather on a string. They were so wild when running and jumping around to catch it that I began laughing uncontrollably. My own cat plays, but not like Taco and Kodak—Taco and Kodak take it to the next level. : )

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one kitty, a feral-turned-domestic tuxedo named Gibson (Gibby), and until Dec 2025, had a sweet little rescue tabby named Leo.

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

Patience and calm goes a long way, as does being intentional with my movements and body language. Typically I sit on the floor and stay still, and allow them to lead the interaction. I move slowly, keep noise to a minimum, and keep my gaze soft.

Krystyna was awesome with our two cats. She stayed overnight with one shy kitty and another dealing with some skin issues. Our shy one warmed up right away and she was great keeping close eye on our other, giving him some ointment and special food. Her updates, photos and videos were super detailed multiple times a day and just knew the two kitties were in great hands.

This was our first time leaving our two boys alone, so we were nervous, but I'm so glad we picked Krystyna. She was very communicative, asked questions and gave fantastic updates each day. Our orange cat was definitely living his best life and our shy black cat hid from her most of the time, but she made sure to send a Pic of him in his hiding place every day and he was ingress spirits when we returned home. I will definitely work with Krystyna again in the future when we go out of town. Highly recommend.

Krystyna took excellent care of my 2 male kitties when she stayed over night for over a week. The boys are both on different medications and she gave them with out any problems My orange kitty is timid and he warmed up to her after a few days. My other boy immediately took to her! She sent many pictures with updates every day. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing they were in good hands with her. I highly recommend her!

Krystyna went above and beyond my expectations as our cat sitter. As a kitty mom to a crew of four, including three kittens, leaving my babies was not easy, but her thorough updates and constant stream of photos immediately put me at ease. The very first update showed how happy and comfortable our crew was, and that relief was everything. I genuinely cannot recommend Krystyna enough for pet sitting. Her care, communication, and attention to detail made the entire experience stress-free, and we will absolutely be using her for all of our future cat sitting needs.

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.

Erie cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
