I'm Karissa | Cat Sitting in Hastings, MN
Hello and Meow! My name is Karissa and thanks to my mother, I have always had a love of cats. There have been cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and in 2015 I was given the opportunity to work with them exclusively when I applied to a cat-only clinic called Cat Specialist in Colorado. I worked there for a period of six years as an assistant, receptionist, and finally as a Nuclear Medicine Technician (a fancy way to say that I coordinated the section of the clinic that treated cats with hyperthyroidism). My husband (now also a cat lover, thanks to me) and I moved to the Minnesota area about a year ago. Our two cats, Artemis and Apollo, are still adjusting to the move and are less than ecstatic about the freezing winter temperatures coming in to the house when we open the door. However, they do love the sunshine during the Minnesotan summer! I'm ...
Karissa's Reviews
Maureen
Karissa is always great with my cats and I'll hire her again and again!
Cindy
Our original cat sitter fell through and Karissa was able to adjust her schedule to accommodate us literally the day we needed service and over holiday. We have a diabetic kitty who needs shots twice daily, Karissa came to our rescue ♥️ She was extremely thorough with updates and pictures.... we're so appreciative of her care!! 😻😺
Betsy
Karissa was prompt at responding to requests. After meeting her (on time) she made me feel completely comfortable. She took good care of my babies and took great photos. I'll definitely use her again!

Karissa looked after our shy cat over the holiday and did an excellent job. Great photos, consistent communication, and our cat liked her! ❤️🐈

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $29.00.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
