I’m happy to customize visits to fit your cat’s routine, whether they need extra attention or prefer a more independent approach.

About Me:

I’m calm, reliable, and detail-oriented, with a warm and patient personality that cats respond to. I know how to build trust with even the shyest kitties and love forming bonds with all kinds of feline friends. You can count on me to treat your cat like my own and your home with respect.

As a prior cat foster coordinator, shelter volunteer and adoption counselor I have been trained to assess the needs of cats and owners. I am knowledgeable in cat care/behavior, handling special needs/behavioral challenges as well as providing detailed information/records ( through spreadsheets). I am an experienced bottle feeder and have adopted several orphaned bottle babies over the years. My empathy, patience and compassion has driven me to provide the best care possible and treat all cats like they were my own.

Let’s make sure your cat feels loved and comfortable while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion(s)!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I truly enjoy forming bonds with cats of all personality types. Cats are all so different, so getting to explore and adapt to each one is rewarding. It’s also very therapeutic for me to just spend time, love and care for cats. I love all animals but my love of cats has been there since I can remember and I have always had at least one cat my entire life. I could be considered a crazy cat lady! I also love helping others and helping others feel secure leaving their babies well cared doe is very fulfilling to me. I have had to leave my babies in someone else’s care many times before, and it truly helps when you leave and don’t have to feel anxious or stressed while you are trying to get away and enjoy yourself.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 8, yes 8, beautiful pussy cats! 3 boys, Rico Suave, Crouton and Sambucca and 5 girls, Purrincess, Craisin, Bunny, Sweet Tea and Snickers. Most were rescued/orphaned/foster fails and all have completely different personalities so I know how each cat is different and respect each and every cat and their multiple personalities, lol!

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

I would recommend a meet and greet for you and your cat before making a decision. Ask plenty or questions to ensure you will communicate well with one another and to determine if you will be confident and reassured leaving your fur baby with that person. Make sure your cat is also comfortable with the sitter as they will be spending the most time together, if it’s not a good match, your cat will usually let you know. Cats can be finicky, so it’s very important that they feel comfortable or their health may suffer. Always trust your own instincts and your cat’s, they are usually right!

We have used cat sitting services before, but Kristina outshines them all! She em was very sensitive to our cats personalities. We have one cat who is shy and has a difficult time warming up to new people. Kristina was so patient and had him eating the whole time. Her photos and updates were informative as well as entertaining 👏 I highly recommend her and we definitely will use her again!

Kristina is a great sitter. She did morning and evening check-ins--feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning dishes and litter boxes. In addition, she gives individual attention to our two very different cats, and they love it! Kristina also goes beyond what is expected such as bringing in delivered packages and mail and taking out trash. Best of all, she keeps me updated with multiple photos and messages about our two cats. I appreciate all that she does!

Kristi did amazing! I was super nervous since it was my first time letting someone other than close family watch over my boy, but I ended up not being worried at all because I knew he was in good hands. Kristi gives amazingly detailed updates and is super caring and will really connect with your kitties, I guarantee it. You can't go wrong with her.

Kristina was amazing!!! She was so great with our cats! She took care of our cats for a week and when we came home everything was impeccable! Everything was kept so clean and neat. Kristina is so friendly and responds so quickly to messages. She was able to take my reservation quite last minute with no issue. She goes above and beyond and makes sure she takes care of everything for you, including watering plants and bringing trash cans to the curb. Kristina is great and you can’t go wrong booking her!

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.

Wake Forest cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
