Learn More About Kathryn

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

I’m a Certified Professional Pet Sitter with over 14 years of experience, including running my own full-time pet sitting business for the past 5 years (and 10 years part-time before that). I’m also a Fear-Free Certified professional and a certified Pet CPR & First Aid instructor. Beyond sitting, I volunteer with cats at my local Humane Society, giving me valuable hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. As a lifelong cat parent myself, I deeply understand feline behavior, stress signals, and how to create a calm, comfortable environment that keeps cats happy while their humans are away.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is discovering each cat’s “high-value reward”—whether that’s treats, catnip, toys, brushing, or simply love and companionship. Earning a cat’s trust is the heart of what I do, and there’s nothing more rewarding than when a shy kitty finally chooses to come out and say hello after days of hiding. For those extra-shy friends, I offer a pet cam service so their families can still enjoy peace of mind while I patiently work at their pace. I also love capturing those candid moments when a cat doesn’t even realize I’ve snapped a photo—it’s always such a joy to share their personality shining through.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

At home, I share my life with two wonderful cats, Reggie and Persephone. Reggie is my 11-year-old black domestic shorthair who is a total lovebug and rarely leaves my side. Persephone, my 10-month-old torti tabby kitten, is playful, social, and a joyful addition to our family—she even plays with my dogs and helps bridge the gap for Reggie, who has never been the biggest fan of dogs but tolerates them for his people. Both cats have their own “cat room” upstairs where the dogs aren’t allowed, giving them a safe retreat whenever they want it. Most of the time, though, they choose to be part of the family action, which I believe comes from respecting their need for their own space.

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

When looking to hire a cat sitter, I recommend finding someone who not only has experience and certifications but also truly understands cat behavior, stress, and individuality. It’s important to ask how they handle shy, anxious, or even territorial cats, what safety measures they use, and how they communicate while you’re away. I recently wrote a 4-part blog series on “How to Choose the Right Pet Sitter,” which dives into these questions and more—you’re always welcome to ask me about it if you’d like some extra guidance as you explore your options.

I was very pleased to find a professional with so much experience, training and credentials. She totally lived up and surpassed my hopes! I knew my cats were in the best hands while I was gone for family Christmas out-of-state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Omaha cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
