Learn More About Kira
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been caring for cats and cat-sitting since I was a child! My experience includes volunteering with cat adoptions, where I gained hands on skills in feline health, behavior, and socialization. I also cat sat for a family with seven cats for several years, managing feeding, litter maintenance, and individualized attention. Plus, I have two amazing cats of my own, Juno and Hazel, who keep me constantly learning! Altogether, my lifelong passion for cats and hands on experience help me provide attentive, compassionate care to every kitty I meet.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is spending time with cats and getting to know their unique personalities. I love watching them open up and show their quirks as they become more comfortable with me. It’s incredibly rewarding to build trust with each cat and see them feel safe, happy, and relaxed in my care.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I do have kitties myself! I’m a proud cat parent to two beautiful cats. Juno, my sweet and playful boy, and Hazel, my curious girl. Living with them has deepened my understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities, and I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members.

Kira was amazing! Right when we left our condo had flooded from a storm and Kira came right away even when she wasn’t scheduled to. She FaceTimed me to show me what was happening and made sure my kitties were all safe to stay and comfortable before leaving. The next day she sent an update and photo and my kitties loved her. Thank you again!

Kira is very attentive, patient, and genuinely gentle with my cats. She followed care instructions carefully, kept me updated, and made sure everyone was comfortable and calm while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such caring hands, and I’ll absolutely be booking her again.

Kira followed all instructions purrfectly and was able to accommodate a pretty late-notice cat sitting for my 3 cats. She sent very cute pictures at each visit and it made me happy to see that my kitties were happy and well.

Kira is absolutely wonderful! She’s cared for my two cats, Bee and Rennlie, several times while I’ve been away on vacation (usually a week or more), and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her hands. She’s amazing with communication and updates — I never have to wonder how things are going. Kira really takes the time to understand my cats’ personalities and routines, and it shows in how comfortable and happy they are when I get home. Being a cat mom herself, she just gets it — from the little quirks to the extra love they need. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

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 $26.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!

Kira,was fantastic! I was out of town when I got a notified from the person I had watching my cats that she was not able to continue after a couple of days, I was not able to home at that time so I searched cat sitter and found Kira. I was extremely impressed with her profile and comments that people left so I reached out to her. Her response time was quick and while talking with her I knew she was the right fit for my babies. Each day I got a message from her letting me know how they were and often she sent pictures which really meant a lot to me. I will definitely be using Kira in the future.

Kira was an amazing cat sitter for my little love ❤️ during 8 days. She was always on time, very caring, and took the time every morning and evening to play and interact with her. I really appreciated how she adapted to my cat’s personality and even went the extra mile to get her favorite snacks. Highly recommended!

Kira was a Godsend. I was running out of options for my sick kitty that didn’t want to take her medicine. Kira was able to get her to take her 3 doses a day. Kira was always on time and always had a smile on her face. She really loves animals and it shows. heck even the cat she was giving medicine too liked her as did my grumpy old guy who doesn’t like anyone. Your cats will be in fantastic hands if you use Kira’s services.

Kira was awesome. We had to extend our trip longer than expected and she jumped right in to help. My fur babies were really happy and well taken care of. She really made sure that she communicated when food was getting low and needed to buy more and made me feel comfortable. Pick her for your cat sitting needs

Kira was a Godsend. I was in a bind with a sick kitty that didn’t want to take their meds. Kira had experience delivering the meds and doing it with love. Her love for animals is obvious and she treated my cats like they were hers. She was on time three times a day and was everything you want in a caretaker. I would use her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Kira.

This is the 2nd reservation I had with Kira. The 1st time she was fantastic so there was no doubt I would ask her to help again. Kira is super reliable which unfortunately isn’t always the case with sitters. Just read the stories. But with Kira you don’t have to worry at all. She’s going to show up on schedule and take great care of your fur babies. Traveling sucks but thankfully I never have to worry about my cats. Thank you Kira. You are the best
