Learn More About Kristen

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Currently I have one cat, his name is Friday. He is extremely friendly and loves to cuddle and give hugs. He is now 16 years old, so we are in a later stage of life, where he moves a little slower and takes medications to keep everything going smoothly.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I think it begins with research. I've used multiple cat sitters over the years, and have thankfully had good experiences. Doing research online was always the first step. Meeting cat sitters came next, making sure they were comfortable with the food and medicine needs. Also, ensuring that they had good communication practices, so I felt clued in while I was away. As my cats aged, their needs changed. They did not want to leave the house, so it was up to me to find the right person to come into our home. Having conversations, meeting in person in the home, setting expectations and explaining needs, and giving lots of details, all contribute to finding the right cat sitter to properly care for your cat.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The laser! My cat, even at 16 years old, still LOVES the laser pointer. I turn the lights down so its easier for him to see. He gets so excited to hunt that little red dot! Runner up would be the Cat Dancer, which is just a wire with some small cardboard pieces on the end, but cats go crazy for it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Lombard cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
