Hello feline parents. My name is Tina and I have a cat addiction, lol. I believe cats are natures perfect remedy to, well, everything. I use a soft, calm and patient approach with cats. I bring myself to their level, use gentle speaking and movements to ensure I’m not intimidating. I have experience with elder cats (BB passed age 19) and experienced heartbreak when Whiskers passed from diabetes ... Hello feline parents. My name is Tina and I have a cat addiction, lol. I believe cats are natures perfect remedy to, well, everything. I use a soft, calm and patient approach with cats. I bring myself to their level, use gentle speaking and movements to ensure I’m not intimidating. I have experience with elder cats (BB passed age 19) and experienced heartbreak when Whiskers passed from diabetes at less then a year old. I took my moms orange devil kitty in after her passing and I couldn’t picture life without him, my Loki kitty would disagree, lol. I am also pet first aid certified through the American Red Cross. I’m open to early mornings to late evenings. Daily updates and pictures are a must to give my feline parents peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family.

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

I have sat for cats for a good part of 15 plus years. I’ve only been in St Petersburg for two plus years. I have animal sat for a co worker who travels a lot. She has two rescue cats and a dog.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I’m new to this platform but have had a consistent client who has two permanent felines but also fosters from time to time and one crazy dog. The dog and kitty’s get along great, it’s fun to watch them interact.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Loki,domestic short hair black cat age 9, rescued him at four weeks old. Oscar, domestic long hair orange tabby age 8, I inherited him when my mom passed in 2023.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Speak with them, get a feel for them. Ask as many questions as you like. We are all feline lovers here , we all just have the kitty’s best interest in mind.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Being respectful and following their rules. No two cat parents are alike but their home is their home, rules must be followed.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I would of course follow the homeowners rules regarding doors and window and anything else they know that their cat is dying to destroy.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I have no other obligations but to myself and my cats. I usually visit my only child before or after holidays so not to deal with the crazy rush!

What is your favorite cat toy?

Little fuzzy balls, never had a cat dislike them! A pointer is a great toy to get the lil chubs moving around.

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

Don’t crowd them, sit down to their level, not to close and speak softly to them, over a treat if it’s allowed or cat nip. Sometimes they just need to know someone is there.

Tina looked after our two senior cats for 14 days and did a tremendous job. It was our first time using Mewtel and we were very nervous, but everything went great. Tina followed all our house rules and instructions, was very reliable, and took great care of our cats. She was very attentive to them and their needs and sent us pics and videos every day. We could not be more happy with her help and highly recommend her to other cat parents!

Tina was fantastic!! My kitty has separation anxiety, and she took the time to sit with him, and let him become comfortable. She provided cute videos everyday, and made sure that I knew he was being taken care of. It made a difficult trip much less stressful. I will definitely use Tina again. 😸

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.

Saint Petersburg 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!
