Hi kitty parents! My name is Kate and I’ve been with cats my entire life. I’m my friend’s number one sitter for when they go on vacation so I wanted to offer my services to others!

My cat Sneakers is my ESA and is trained to comfort me in emotionally stressful situations.

I’m here to help other cat parents who need a vacation, have work meetings, or any other things that someone would need a sitter for! As I’m a daytime hairstylist who makes my own hours, I’m available most days including weekends!

I’m so excited to meet some new kitty’s and help my fellow cat owners with whatever they need!💖

Learn More About Katelyn

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know the kitty I’m sitting! Every cat has their own unique personality and I love exploring that. Getting a cat to trust you is the most rewarding thing ever!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a tuxedo kitty named Sneakers. She is my trained ESA for my anxiety! She picks up on energy very well and knows when I need her.

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

I’m a very patient person so I will sit on the floor with treats and toys and wait for them to come to me. Cats are naturally very curious so they will come out when they are ready and I will be there with all the love they need to feel comfortable.

Katelyn has watched our cat twice now--once over the Christmas holiday and then for 2 weeks this summer. She's so lovely! Prompt, attentive, and sends us a cat pic and update on how our girl is doing every time she visits. Katelyn is also very flexible with key pickup and return, which we super appreciate. 10/10 would recommend!

Katelyn is one of the most genuine and wholesome people I know, and she treats both humans and animals with the utmost respect and care. I think it’s natural for anyone to feel a little nervous about allowing someone into their home, especially to care for a beloved pet. Personally, I wouldn’t feel comfortable with many people, even close friend, but I can say with complete confidence that Katelyn is someone I trust fully. She has made me feel 100% at ease in the past, and I know she would do the same for anyone. If you’re an anxious pet owner who wants the peace of mind of knowing your fur baby will be cared for as if they were her own, Katelyn is exactly who you’re looking for. You can rest easy knowing you’ve chosen one of the most kindhearted and dependable people to care for your pet.

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.

Jacksonville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
