I'm Kristin
Cat Sitting in Clearwater, FL
I am comfortab... I specialize in providing attentive, loving care for all cats — including seniors and those with complex medical needs. Two of my three original cats lived into their early twenties, giving me extensive hands-on experience with SubQ fluids, diabetes management and insulin injections, close health monitoring, inhaler and asthma treatments, nebulizer therapy, injectable medications, and administering oral medications safely and gently.
I am comfortable caring for shy or fearful cats, strong-willed or reactive personalities, confident explorers, and affectionate “Velcro” kitties who crave constant companionship. I understand how deeply cats rely on routine, consistency, and a calm presence. My goal is to maintain their normal schedule and environment so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I will always care for your cat with the same patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my own.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I always encourage pet guardians to create a detailed “Pet Care Handbook” for their sitter. This should include each cat’s name, age, medical conditions, allergies, medications, feeding instructions, litter box routine, personality traits, favorite toys, and your veterinarian’s contact information. The more detailed the information, the better — both for your peace of mind and for your cat’s comfort and safety. Clear instructions about food type, portion sizes, treat guidelines, medication schedules, and specific play preferences are incredibly helpful. I also recommend including a “last updated” date so sitters know the information is current. For ease of use, I suggest printing the handbook in a clear, easy-to-read font (size 12–14), organizing it into clearly labeled sections, and placing the pages in sheet protectors inside a binder. Adding photos of your cats on the cover is a thoughtful touch. Leaving this binder in a visible spot, such as the kitchen counter,etc..
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Safety and security are always my top priorities when caring for both your cats and your home. Each visit, I carefully ensure that all doors and windows are securely closed and locked, and I am happy to arm or disarm any alarm systems as instructed. I remain mindful of my surroundings and take extra care to prevent any potential escape risks when entering or exiting the home. I also check that there are no unsafe items, toxic substances, or foods accessible to your cats. Most importantly, I prioritize their physical safety by keeping them securely indoors and maintaining a calm, controlled environment throughout my visit. Your home and your beloved cats will always be treated with the same level of care and attentiveness as my own.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
As the guardian of a shy and anxious cat myself, I deeply understand the importance of patience and a calm, respectful approach. I move slowly, speak softly, and allow cats the time and space they need to become comfortable with my presence. I never force interaction. Instead, I let them approach on their own terms, offering my scent and sitting quietly so they can observe and build trust at their pace.

Kristin is one of the only people I trust permanently with both my cats and my house key. She always puts pets’ welfare above all else (even herself!) and I never have to worry she’ll creep through my stuff. Her extensive knowledge of and experience with sub-q fluids etc is very comforting and has come in handy. She has a lot of experience and is even willing to give advice on a variety of topics when I ask for it.

Kristin has done an amazing job helping me with my special-needs Maine Coon cat, not only with in-home care but also with specific treats and supplemental recommendations that have yielded significant improvements in my cat's overall health. She's extremely patient and loving with my skittish, super-picky kitty. Kristin is very respectful of my cat, who has a rather shy, short-tempered nature, and has handled her challenges with such grace and ease over the past year that she's truly won over my baby's trust and love. I highly recommend Kristin to anyone and everyone!

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!
