I got my start taking care of cats in NYC where I had many satisfied clients. Often called Aunty Kendra. I make sure all of your purr babies needs are taken care of.
I am exceptionally adept at adapting to individual kitty personalities. I know that cats vary in personalities, some warming up quickly and others taking time. I’m great at winning over them all.
I have administered meds and accommodated special feeding requirements, following instructions with meticulous detail.
Communication is very important. I send lotta of updates and pictures throughout a sit, sharing what’s going on and asking questions to make sure I provide the best care for your purr baby.
Learn More About Kendra
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting since 2021. I have done overnights and drop ins for over 20 households and over 50 kitties.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Lots of communication. I go over your typical routine, find out how I can best meet your cat’s needs and ask questions to make sure I have evening clear. Written instructions are great and so are videos for certain routines, like medications. While you’re away, I communicate a lot the first couple of days to make sure evening is going well and you feel at easy. Once we’re all eased in, I keep you updated on important aspects, and send cute photos and videos.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Cats like to know that they are respected and safe. Giving them their space while they get used to me being in their home is key. I talk to timid and anxious kitties in a sweet, high voice. When I sense curiosity, I’ll approach the kitties and offer my hand for them to smell. If they lean in, I’ll give them soft pets to see if they reciprocate and then I’ll give them pets in places that are common for cats to like until I find the one that wins them over.

Kendra is awesome! We were a little nervous leaving our 2 cats behind for a full week while we traveled overseas, but Kendra took amazing care of them and eased our fears. She was extremely communicative and send daily photos, videos, and updates to let us know how they were doing. One of our cats had a little separation anxiety and was behaving more crankily than usual, but Kendra handled it with patience and grace. We are so grateful for her hard work and will definitely work with her again!

Kendra is an excellent pet-sitter. She was incredibly attentive to our two cats (and lizard!), followed our routine diligently, and went above and beyond caring for the apartment in our absence. Her photos and messages are heartwarming. I would absolutely recommend Kendra for all your pet needs -- even our very shy cats took an immediate liking to her!

Kendra is such a professional, attentive, and kind cat sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was cared for while I was in the hospital giving birth. I felt completely at ease knowing that she was there. Definitely will hire her again!!

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.
Boise cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $22.00. 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!
