I'm Hunter
Cat Sitting in Lexington, KY
I provide reliable and individualized cat care—whether that means giving medication or offering a cozy lap ... Hi, I'm Hunter! I'm a certified cat lady and background-checked cat sitter with 12 years of professional experience. As a dedicated cat owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone who understands your cat's needs and provides loving care while you're away.
I provide reliable and individualized cat care—whether that means giving medication or offering a cozy lap to nap on. My care approach is informed by years of pet sitting, working at an animal hospital, and writing blog posts about cat behavior. These experiences have given me hands-on experience with cats of all ages and valuable insights into how they think and act.
I'm happily serving the Lexington area. If you're looking for dependable, cat-focused care, I’d love to connect!
Learn More About Hunter
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for over 12 years, and have had cats of my own for 30 years. I have found cat sitting to be fulfilling, as I can provide consistent companionship cats and peace of mind for cats’ human families.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love providing cats with loving and consistent companionship while their families are away. I view each sit as an opportunity to give cat guardians peace of mind, while meeting the social and emotional needs of the cat.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a wonderfully sassy and social cat named Sage. She’s a six-year-old tabby that I adopted from a barn cat population. She’s the baby of the house and wayyy too spoiled.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Safety is very important to me. I ensure the safety of the cats by maintaining cat-CPR knowledge and ensuring cats always have access to fresh food and water. I’m also careful when entering/leaving the home. I enter carefully and double-check that the door is locked when I leave. If I see anything suspicious, I notify the cat parent right away.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I meet the cats where they are at and let them set the pace. I use a soothing voice, slow blinks, and let the cat approach when they’re ready. Sometimes this means building the relationship slowly over multiple visits.

I am beyond impressed with Hunter. My cats are my children. I’m very selective about who I trust with their care. Hunter exceeded all expectations. From medications to daily routines I knew she was caring for them in the same way they are accustomed to when I’m with them. The daily reports are such a nice detail to keep me informed while I’m away and the pictures showed how comfortable they were with her. I was able to enjoy my vacation and still keep up with how my babies were doing each day. I returned home to relaxed and happy cats😊.

Hunter was absolutely wonderful while I was out of town for a week! I was provided with a daily report and photos on Meowtel. Hunter went above and beyond to make sure I knew my baby was safe and doing well. They were very respectful in my home and showed a genuine intrest in making sure to know what my cat liked & disliked before the first visit. Anytime I need someone to come home and care for my Tripod, Hunter will be the first I reach out to.

Hunter was punctual, friendly, and responds quickly. I only needed a quick check in for an extended work day. Hunter went above and beyond for my cat Sugar. I love that Hunter will send photos of your babies if you ask. Will definitely be booking again! Thank you Hunter.

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!
