Kittycat Love Diabetic Experience

I'm Kimberly

Cat Sitting in Tampa, FL

I got my first cat at 18 years old and fell in love with all cats! I’ve always had 2 as I believe they need a companion. I can’t resist any cat even a random stray and have even brought random ones into my hotel rooms on vacation if they want to come in. My photo album is filled with cats from wherever I go! My dream job would be the cat caretaker at the Hemingway house in Key West. In my real life, I am a mastectomy prosthetic fitter for women with breast cancer and I absolutely love it. I’ve worked for my current employer for 14 years... I got my first cat at 18 years old and fell in love with all cats! I’ve always had 2 as I believe they need a companion.

My orange tabby Oliver got diagnosed with diabetes and I never thought I would be able to handle all of the glucose testing and insulin injections but when you love a cat you do it and now I am a master! I am fortunate to have a friend that can give my cat injections and thought, "I bet there are a lot of cat parents that have no one to do this if they can’t." So, that is one of my main reason for offering my services. I also have a beautiful long-haired mix named Mittens who is a sweet terror lol! I do work Monday through Friday so visits on those days would be mornings and after work but weekends are free. I live in the West Chase area of Tampa
And can easily sit in town n country, Oldsmar, safety harbor or anywhere in that vicinity

I was really nervous about leaving my cats with someone I'd never met before, especially since all my usual friend cat sitters had moved away. After reading Kimberly's fantastic reviews, I decided to book her, and I'm so glad I did. From our first meet and greet, she immediately put me at ease. She even messaged me the day before I left to reassure me that everything was organised and my cats would be in great hands. While I was away, she sent detailed daily updates with lots of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. When I got home, my cats were happy, well cared for, and my home was spotless. As someone who's very particular about both my cats and my home, I honestly couldn't have asked for better care. Kimberly went above and beyond in every way. I can't recommend her highly enough—10 out of 10 doesn't even do her justice. I'll definitely be booking her again!

Kimberly was amazing and able to accommodate a last minute booking for my cats, and did an incredible job getting my usually shy cats out and playing. I am so grateful for how well they were taken care of and to see that both while I was away and with how happy my cats were once I got home!

Honestly could not recommended Kim more! She did everything as asked and kept me updated every visit. She even brought over a small toy for my cats to have, I came home and my cats acted like we never left which made me feel that they felt comfortable with Kim and that they were taken care of!

This was my first time using Kimberly's services but I'm so glad I did. Everything was well taken care of with my kitties. One of my cats is a spicy scaredy cat, but he actually came out from hiding for Kimberly. She also sent daily updates with photos. You won't be disappointed with her services. Just booked her again!

I just moved to Tampa and don't know any sitters yet, so I was glad to find a cat-focused service. Kim was UHMAIZING with my 3 furkids! My girl was all over her during the meet-n-greet, and she got my 2 shy boys to come out of their shells during her visits. I had last-minute change of plans, too, and Kim was wicked accommodating. Mucho gracias Kim!!!

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.

Tampa 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!
