Cat Sitting in Honolulu, HI

Aloha! 🌺 I'm a dedicated, detail-oriented cat sitter who truly understands how much routine matters. I have my own cat and I’m absolutely a try-hard in the best way. I pay attention to the little things, from feeding schedules to litter box habits to subtle shifts in mood. I’ve been cat sitting for others since 2019, and I approach every visit with consistency and care because I know cats thrive on predictability (honestly, just like I do).

I don’t buy the idea that cats are “hard to read... Aloha! 🌺 I'm a dedicated, detail-oriented cat sitter who truly understands how much routine matters. I have my own cat and I’m absolutely a try-hard in the best way. I pay attention to the little things, from feeding schedules to litter box habits to subtle shifts in mood. I’ve been cat sitting for others since 2019, and I approach every visit with consistency and care because I know cats thrive on predictability (honestly, just like I do).

I don’t buy the idea that cats are “hard to read.” They’re incredibly expressive if you slow down and actually pay attention. I respect cats deeply and see a lot of myself in them: independent, sensitive to their environment, and deserving of patience and understanding.

I’m happy to cat sit in your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their own space. I’ll stick closely to their routine and make sure they get enrichment and playtime, not just basic care. Whether your cat wants interactive play, gentle company, or just a calm presence, I’ll meet them where they are. 😸

Learn More About Karen

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Every cat is different. I love learning and getting to know every cat I meet. Cats also don't do too well with changes so it means a lot when I can provide them with some sort of regularity and makes their days better and bring some calm

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 1 cat named Nagi - short for Naginata! She's a tortoiseshell cat with something called a smoke coat (her undercoat is white.) She is shy until Churus appear 😋

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes -- my full time job keeps me on-island most of the time. I rarely travel and have lots of availability during holidays.

Karen is an attentive and loving cat sitter! She watched over my baby girl Cinder when I was out of the country for a month and not only did she take incredible care of Cinder, but Karen truly fell in love w Cinder and with cats during their time together. Karen is responsible, reliable, and adores cats. She is a great cat sitter and I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:


  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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.

Honolulu cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
