Learn More About Katie

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 cats. My oldest is Mia and she is a sweetie once you get to know her. She is particular about her boundaries and will tell you if you cross them. She is 11 years old and I adopted her when she was 1 years old. My other cat is Milo. Milo loves attention and is always by my side. He never out grew his kitten phase and is very playful. I adopted him when he was 7 months old and he is now 6 years old.

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

I always start by setting up a meet and greet to go over care details. This is your opportunity to ask me questions and make sure you feel comfortable with me taking care of your cat(s). It’s also a good opportunity for me to meet your cat and go over what you are wanting done while you are gone. As we go over things, I’ll ask questions on details. I have a list of things I need to know so I’ll ask anything that I feel was missed.

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

I always ask about hiding spots when meeting with you. I find your cat and spend time in their general area. I watch body language to make sure they are not too stressed while staying close enough that they can sniff me and watch me. I will quietly talk to them and/or play relaxing music for cats. I let them approach when they’re ready.

Katie is extremely caring, attentive, and prompt - especially when it comes to cats! As a cat owner herself, she cares and treats every cat as if they’re her own. You and your cat(s) are in great hands with Katie ❤️

Katie is our cats' favorite pet sitter. This is a huge vote of confidence from a cat who generally distrusts outsiders and a cat who needs to take pills twice a day. Katie has taken care of our cats for us for the last year, and having her take care of our cats gives us great peace of mind anytime we have to leave our buddies. We know that our cats will be fed, watered, and medicated on time; that we will get great pictures of our boys twice a day (because of the medication schedule); and that our cats will be happy when we come home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iowa City cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $20.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
