Cat Sitting in Riverview, FL
I’ll say it - I’m proud to be the crazy cat lady! I adopted two elderly cats in college & today I’m a cat mom to two cuddly kitties Boots & Fiona (yes, that’s a Shrek reference) who are certainly king & queen of our castle. My fur babies have been a huge & very special part of my life!

I’ll say it - I’m proud to be the crazy cat lady! I adopted two elderly cats in college & today I’m a cat mom to two cuddly kitties Boots & Fiona (yes, that’s a Shrek reference) who are certainly king & queen of our castle. My fur babies have been a huge & very special part of my life!
Because my elderly cats battled with cancer, I am quite familiar & experienced in administering medication for cats with special needs. Because I know how important it is for cats to remain social & happy during your time away, I will make sure your kitties are well taken care of & enjoying themselves during my visits! Most importantly, I will treat your cat babies as I'd treat my own and remind them that they are very loved while you are away!
I am located in Brandon/Riverview.
I look forward to meeting you and your cat family!

Kristina was amazing with our 3 litties. She gave Isabella her insulin and other meds. Our shy kitty ended up watching squirrel videos in bed with her!!

Kristina was a wonderful sitter. My cats and I both benefitted from her putting in extra effort. She remembered my instructions and sent multiple photos every day. She even took the time to engage and found a toy for them after I warned her they can be very shy/ aloof! I would definitely be a repeat customer.

We were so nervous about going on vacation because one of ours has real problems with separation anxiety. Kristina made it so much easier with her pre-sitting home visit and great communication. If your cat has any kind of extra needs, she's a great choice!

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
Riverview cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!

First time ever using a pet check in service and Kristina was absolutely wonderful! She responded quickly and made the process a breeze. When she came to check in on my cat she sent tons of updates and pictures of her loving on my furbaby and followed our care routine perfectly. Gave me such a peace of mind! Couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Thank you, Kristina!
