Learn More About Karen

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I own two cats of my own, who are now 12 years old. I remember the day that I brought them home and they were only 6-weeks old kittens at the time! I’ve been providing pet services professionally for the last year.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love building long-lasting relationships with cats and their families! It warms my heart to see how loved each family is and to make sure that owners have no worries about their cats while away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats, Milo and Maya. Milo is an orange and white tabby cat and is named after Milo from the classic movie, Milo and Otis! He’s an adventurous rascal just like his namesake. Maya is a dilute calico tabby, and she is named after a childhood show called Maya the Bee. She often purrs loudly and sounds like a little busy bee, hence the name!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available during most holidays during the year, except for the last week of December. You can always send me a message to see if I can work something out — happy to accommodate if I’m able!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

With cats that are particularly timid and anxious, I understand that trust and meeting all has to come at the cat’s own time and level of comfort. I’m willing to be patient as possible and wait out until the cat is comfortable and wants to meet on their own terms!

Karen did an amazing job from start to finish. She is incredibly professional, has great attention to detail, and takes amazing photos! She easily handled one of our cat’s thyroid medication. Our cats are very relaxed after coming home.

Karen has been wonderful on both occasions that she's cared for our cats. She was particularly great when handling our senior cat who was going through medical issues and did a great job of keeping us updated throughout our trip. I especially appreciated her flexibility when our cat's medication changed last minute.

Karen was fantastic. When I arrived home from my trip and opened the door Penelope and Toro greeted me with a look that saiid, ā€˜Oh, it’s you. We were hoping for Karen.ā€ The video and photo updates were much appreciated. This was my first trip away since getting the girls, but I feel comfortable taking many more trips as long as Karen is available!

We were in a pinch after our previous cat sitter wasn’t able to help with a weekend trip we planned. Karen stepped in with only a few days notice. Getting her up to speed with our boys, the meds (our oldest cat has diabetes), and the logistic of our home was easy. while we were away we got updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing all was going well. Karen was awesome and we’ll definitely be asking for her again.

Karen is a wonderful petsitter! She took detailed notes at our meet and greet and gave me daily thoughtful updates while I was gone. She handled my senior cat with care and administered a daily inhaler with no problems. When I returned from my trip I saw that Karen had left a gift bag with treats for the cats - and me! - and a very sweet note. It was a great way to come home 😊

Karen is truly an angel on earth. My husband and I cannot praise Karen enough for the love, care, and attention she lavished on our three cats while we were away. Her gentle and patient nature resonated so well with our cats who all have varying personalities, and can also be a handful sometimes. Karen is also incredibly responsible. She kept us updated twice daily with detailed descriptions and beautifully captured photos. This allowed us to enjoy our vacation stress-free, and we were able to sleep well knowing our cats were well cared for. Thank you, Karen! We know now to always come to you when we need someone to rely on to watch over and care for our cats.

Karen provided outstanding care and companionship to my cat Smoky! Karen is attentive and accommodating. She looks for ways to enhance the experience. At every visit, Karen sent updates including photos and videos of play, purrs and meows! Smoky and I highly recommend her.

Well, Karen is a total life-saver AND my cat loved her. My friend came down with the flu and with two days left before a week long vacation, I panicked and found Meowtel. Karen was one of the recommended sitters and after reaching out I found out she was available for my dates (Thank Goodness). She came and met my kitty and asked all the right questions. I came back to one very happy and healthy cat, which was amazing (since she can suffer from anxiety that induces vomiting if there is inadequate bonding time).

We recently had Karen as our cat sitter and couldn't be more pleased with her services. She is extremely timely and organized, ensuring that all of our cats' needs were met on schedule. Karen's friendly demeanor made it easy for our cats to warm up to her, and they genuinely enjoyed her company. Her communication skills are excellent; she kept us updated regularly and sent us adorable pictures that brightened our day. Karen's reliability and attentiveness gave us peace of mind, knowing that our furry family members were in good hands. We highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a caring and dependable cat sitter and will be using her again for future visits! šŸ¾šŸ“ø

Karen is an incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive person. She treats every cat with the same love and respect she gives her own, and it truly shows. Whether it’s giving medication on time or just understanding each cat’s unique personality, she goes above and beyond. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their sitter!

Frequently Asked Questions

Chelmsford 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 $31.00. 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.
