Learn More About Karen
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to know each cat's unique personality- whether they're rambunctious, cuddly, or fiercely independent. There's something truly rewarding about earning a cat's trust and making them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I really enjoy the little moments like hearing a happy prayer, watching a cat chase a toy, or just sitting quietly with them. Of course. I also love knowing that I'm giving peace of mind to the owner.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I would meet with the cat owner and cat to review their routine, preferences and any special needs. We would go over feeding schedules, litter box habits, favorite toys, and any medical requirements. This is a great time for the cat owner to ask questions and discuss concerns while they are away. I'll make sure I understand all the expectations.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I would use a very calm manner. I would not make a lot of noise when entering or spending time with the cat. I would respect their space and allow them the time to get to know me.

+Karen was a superb commuicator while she sitted for our 2 Siamese cats, sending us photos and letting us know what they were up to. For the first time since we adopted her, our elderly cat did not continue to "call" from the moment we walked in the door til the next day - Karen must truly be a cat whisperer!

Karen was a fabulous cat sitter. We had a wonderful experience and I couldn’t recommend her enough if you need someone to look after your cat. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.

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.
Omaha cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
