Learn More About Kimberly
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Cats are simply the best and I love spending time with them. I also enjoy getting to meet new people and helping them get the most out of life while knowing that their fur baby is taken care of.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I definitely recommend meeting the sitter first. You want to make sure the sitter is a good fit for you and your cats.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
When meeting a new client, I typically prefer to go to their home. It's a great opportunity to meet the pet parent and the kitties in their environment. I'd like to get on the floor to show that I'm not a threat and let the cats come to me. If they don't want to, that is fine too, some relationships take a little extra time.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Safety and security is a top priority! I am the only one that will be in the home, so I have complete control. Ensuring there's lots of water, and a clean litter box will go a long way. Providing a calm presence will also help the cats relax and provide a stress-free experience for them.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Patience, patience, patience! I am in their space, so they call the shots. I would never force anything on a timid or anxious cat. But I will provide a calm environment and a comforting presence of warmth.

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.
Gainesville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
