I'm Kathryn

Cat Sitting in Nahant, MA

I love all animals but I am definitely partial to cats! I grew up with cats and had 4 of them over the course of my childhood. We had Cookie the Calico, Snowball an all white girly, Pumpkin our rare orange girl and Jasper our sweet boy! I appreciate that not all cats are the same, have boundaries, and if you’re paying attention they will show/tell you what they want and need. Since 2022 I have gained the bulk... I love all animals but I am definitely partial to cats! I grew up with cats and had 4 of them over the course of my childhood. We had Cookie the Calico, Snowball an all white girly, Pumpkin our rare orange girl and Jasper our sweet boy! I appreciate that not all cats are the same, have boundaries, and if you’re paying attention they will show/tell you what they want and need. Since 2022 I have gained the bulk of my pet sitting experience through another online platform. I traveled all over the US, caring for over 25 pets (and homes) along the way. Part of these experiences include giving insulin shots to a diabetic cat.
I also volunteer at the Northeast Animal Shelter in their cat care section. I have a weekly shift and I love getting to take care of the cats and show them some love while they’re at the shelter.

Learn More About Kathryn

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

I have been pet sitting since 2022! I have traveled all over the US caring for over 25 pets, about half of which were cats. I am no longer traveling and looking to do more cat sitting close to home.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I grew up with cats and they are my favorite pet! I love being able to care for them and get to know their unique personalities. It always great when you get a friendly cat right from the start but there’s also something really special about earning a cats trust.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I love to meet the new cat parent and new cat(s) ahead of time. A meet and greet allows us to all get to know each other a little better and helps me to get the lay of the land before starting the sit.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I follow all guidelines set out by the pet parent. I make sure I know how to access the home and put eyes on the cat(s) to verify they are okay even if they don’t want to interact.

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

I always follow the cats lead. I know not all cats want to interact with a pet sitter. If they approach me with signals that they want to interact I will gladly engage with them through pets and/or play! If a cat is keeping their distance or showing signs of distress I would not approach them and do my best to be a calming presence as I prepare their food and clean their litter box.

Kathryn was an amazing cat sitter! She was very friendly, caring, and made sure my cat was well taken care of while I was away. She kept me updated and gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet 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.

Nahant cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
