I'm Katie
Cat Sitting in Lexington, KY
I like to think of myself as the cat whisperer. I am happiest when surrounded, taking care of and loving on these special critters. I have had pet cats since I was a child, and currently have four-Sprinkles, Pumpkin, Chrissy and Mabel! Sprinkles is surprisingly the orange calico, Pumpkin is the gray and white one, Chrissy is the all gray and Mabel is the other calico my pictures. 💁🏼♀️
I have cared for many kitties for my friends and family, which has helped me gain a variety of excellent kitty care skills! During my time kitty... As a person whose nickname is “Kat”, has a cat tattoo and is the girl who will stop to pet or save any kitty I come across, I am most definitely qualified as your cat sitter!

I have cared for many kitties for my friends and family, which has helped me gain a variety of excellent kitty care skills! During my time kitty sitting, I have mastered an array of medication applications such as pilling, injections, eye drops, topical medications and ear drops. I have also worked in the medical field as a newborn hearing screener, nurse aid and I previously attended nursing school. In doing so, I have gained medical knowledge of a variety of different medications and conditions as well.
I am here to happily serve the greater Lexington area as a cat sitter for all kitties who need care, attention and love! I strive to ensure your home and kitties will be taken care of, as if they were my own, while you are away. If I am not currently serving the area you are located in or my schedule is not open for the dates you may need, please feel free to message me so we can work together to get the care you need for your fur baby!
My goal is to create happy bonds with your kitties, so you’ll never have to worry when you’re away. I look forward to all the kitty pets and snuggles!
Thank you for considering me to be the cat sitter for your babies. 🐾💛

Katie was amazing! She administered medications to our cats (including fluids, pills and transdermal medications), sent us pictures and kept us updated. Our cats were well taken care of, would highly recommend Katie and will also book her again when we leave town. Thanks again!

So glad to have found Katie as my cats’ caretaker. She was able to make friends w my shyest cat whom no one outside of the household sees. She has gone above & beyond to bring trash cans, packages, mail & newspapers in when I forget to stop delivery. I can relax while away knowing Katie takes such good care of my cats.

Katie is amazing! My kitties responded to her beautifully! One of my kitties is very elusive and Katie got her to come downstairs for pets. She took the time to learn about them and their routine. She even tidied up when they made a mess! We look forward to our next trip and Katie's visits.

Once again, My super shy Babette & friendly Siamon are well cared for and don't even miss me! Well, maybe a little. Babette used to hide under the bed, but now waits for Katie to arrive! House is always neat and tidy! 10 ⭐️

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 $23.00. 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!

Thank you so much, Katie, for your diligence & conscienceness care of my two cats. Your thoughtfulness put me at ease about leaving my cats in your care. Thank you also for washing the cat food bowls when it wasn’t necessary. Will absolutely recommend you and use you the next time we go out of town.

Katie went above and beyond in every possible way. Our kitties couldn’t be happier (and they generally aren’t keen to anyone aside from my husband and I). They adored Katie - to which we were thrilled. She gave care to each and every detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for our fur babies and are truly so thankful for Katie’s service. It’s clear she genuinely loves cats and cares for your loved ones and place as much as you would yourself. I highly recommend and can’t give her enough kudos.
