Cat Sitting in Lexington, KY

I’m Kate — I’ve worked in veterinary medicine and have two cats who rule my roost. I’m calm, patient, and confident around all types of kitty personalities. I love creating a low-stress, fun environment.
With my vet-med experience, I’m confident handling special care needs such as administering oral or injectable medications, monitoring for changes in appetite or behavior, and providing gentle support for senior or anxious cats.
I am very detail-oriented and will always keep you in the loop no matter the issue.
You’ll receive photo and message updates after every visit so you can relax knowing your feline family member is getting the same level of love and attention I give my own two at home.
Learn More About Kate
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
There’s nothing more rewarding than having a cat warm up to you. Of course it need to be on their own terms, so when it happens it feels like a job well done in creating a safe and comfortable environment!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 2 Domestic Shorthair cats, ages 1 and 6. My youngest is a bobtail calico who can be quite a handful, but she’s everything to me. My eldest is the sweetest tabby, a little skittish and shy, and means the world to me.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
The trick is to allow them to approach you. With pet parent’s permission of course, I have no problem spending time with them in a shared space. They need to know you’re not there to harm them or disrupt their normal daily routines.

Kate did an amazing job with my high-maintenance senior kitty. I received timely updates with photos, including a detailed accounting of each visit. Communication was prompt, and I didn’t worry once while I was away. Kate took great care of my senior lady. I highly recommend her as a sitter!

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.
Lexington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
