My current feline menagerie consists of Jack Sparrow, a 13yr old buff orange tabby, & Will Turner, a 4yr old grey shorthair, who I raised & bottle fed from 4wks old.
From low key seniors to energetic kittens, I understand feline behavior, medical needs, & the importance of maintaining a calm, loving environment while you’re away. Whether your cat wants some playtime, quiet companionship, or medication support, I can provide reliable care with plenty of patience, cuddles, & treats along the way.
Learn More About Kristi
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for many friends and neighbors for more than 30 years. I enjoy providing peace of mind so that clients can their time away without worry or stress.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Most cats don’t like change & are more comfortable staying in familiar surroundings. I’ve always preferred & have felt more at ease having someone come to my home to care for my cats so that they don’t experience any additional stress when I’m away. I enjoy providing that same level of comfort & piece of mind for my clients.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I’ve had many cats over the years. All have been rescues with their own quirks and personalities. I currently share my home with Jack Sparrow (13) & Will Turner (4).

Kristi is the epitome of an ideal cat sitter. She’s down-to-earth, genuine, and has an uncanny ability to connect with cats. Her experience in the veterinary field makes her incredibly knowledgeable, and my cat, Snow, instantly warmed up to her during their first meet-and-greet. Kristi is excellent at communication, leaving no stone unturned to ensure my cat’s well-being. More importantly, she’s trustworthy. I travel frequently for work, sometimes for up to four or five days at a time, and I never have to worry about my cat’s care because I’ve entrusted her to one of the most reliable cat sitters. If you’re looking for a mature, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and punctual cat sitter, Kristi is your best bet. Thank you, Kristi, for always spoiling my cat. He absolutely loves it!

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!
