Greetings!

My name is Kayla but my entire family calls me Kiki! I am a 35yr old after-school program teacher who just moved here from California and am now located in Waconia, MN. I am very passionate about my feline friends and can’t wait to meet some new ones!

A quick bit of cat history on myself, when I was 8 years old my parents got my siblings and I our first cat and dog. I immediately became a cat girl and still to this day my mom buys me anything leopard print!

My great-grandmother loved cats and opened her home in Chicago to hundreds of them...

Greetings!

My name is Kayla but my entire family calls me Kiki! I am a 35yr old after-school program teacher who just moved here from California and am now located in Waconia, MN. I am very passionate about my feline friends and can’t wait to meet some new ones!

A quick bit of cat history on myself, when I was 8 years old my parents got my siblings and I our first cat and dog. I immediately became a cat girl and still to this day my mom buys me anything leopard print!

My great-grandmother loved cats and opened her home in Chicago to hundreds of them. She fed them all and gave them a warm place to retreat to during the bitter cold winters. After falling ill, my great-grandmother began living with us and unfortunately the city was going to tear down her house. Single-handedly, my mother and I spent months capturing as many cats and kittens as we could, bringing them to our home, nursing them to health and ultimately adopting them out to loving family and friends. I guess you could call this fostering! My cat Furball was literally the very last kitten we found hiding underneath a couch the day before the house was going to be torn down! Ever since then, I have always owned and taken care of cats. Actually, at this point I think they probably own me!

With 20+ years of experience, I am knowledgeable and equipped to care for your cat. From the basics (food, water, litter duty and play) to more in depth care (medication, observing changes in behavior, handling multiple cats and blind/senior/handicap cats), I am comfortable with it all!

I live in Waconia and work in Minnetonka so I mostly serve Hennepin, Carver and surrounding counties. (See Service Area map)

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Always read reviews! On Meowtel, the only way someone can leave a review is if a customer makes a reservation and then that reservation is completed by the sitter. So, the reviews are honest and can provide great insight into the reputation of the cat sitter. I also would say to hire a cat sitter who either currently owns or has had cats at some point in time because, well… they just get it! 😹

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

Once a booking is confirmed, I will reach out to schedule a Meet and Greet with you where I will stop by your residence and discuss all care details, exchange keys (if applicable) and of course so I can meet yourself and the cat(s)! During that time, I can also answer any questions or concerns you may have. If a booking is last minute or if you just prefer to do things virtually, that is no problem at all! We can conduct a Meet and Greet via FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meets or WhatsApp. 👍

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

Shy kitties will open up to you when they are ready. I like to build trust by offereing treats and playing with them and that usually does the trick!

This was our first time using Meowtel and I can't say how happy I am that we found this service and Kayla! While we were gone Kayla fed and played with our cats as well as sent us several vidoes and pictures each day. Meowtel allowed our cats to stay at home and feel safe while we were gone. We plan to use Meowtel again and highly recommend using it.

Kayla was fantastic! This was Kayla’s first time catsitting for me, and both cats, usually skittish with new people, took to her on the first day. Kayla provided stellar care and companionship for the cats. She handled one cat’s tricky medications with ease and suggested a tweak to his schedule that helped him keep his food down. She also unlocked a new level of interactive play for the (usually sedentary) other cat. Kayla’s detailed updates and photos and videos put me completely at ease while I was away. We are all looking forward to having Kayla back again soon!

Kayla is an amazing cat sitter! We went on a family trip for a couple of days and needed someone to take care of our six cats. From the very beginning, Kayla was super responsive. We scheduled a meet-and-greet about a week before our trip so she could get to know both our needs and our cats. During the trip, she not only took excellent care of them but also sent us pictures and videos every single day. She gave us complete peace of mind. Truly the perfect cat sitter!

Kayla did a great job with my shy cat who needs medication twice per day. She was able to bond with her quickly so that within a short time my cat was comfortable with pets.

Kayla was fabulous! She accepted my reservation on very short notice, and I am so delighted to have found her my first time using Meowtel. She is so good with my kitties, and her pics & daily check-ins allowed me to have no worries while I was away.

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.

Waconia cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $34.00. 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!
