Learn More About Kari

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

In my opinion, the best part about cat sitting is meeting each and every cat and getting to spend time with such unique and independent creatures. Cats have their own personalities and quirks, and it’s always a pleasure to watch them and learn more! Building trust, and to see how they interact with their environment. Each cat has its own rhythm, and it’s rewarding to help them feel comfortable and cared for, even if it’s just for a short time.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a cat named Loki, a 6-year-old tabby, and he’s my best friend in the whole wide world! He saved me, and I saved him, together we have been inseparable! This summer, we shared the most magical memories together! We traveled all the way to Italy, where my husband and I got married! We spent our wedding and honeymoon with Loki by our side. We explored Italy for a month, and Loki had an absolute blast! We truest do everything together and it is so fun!

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

With timid or anxious cats, patience is key! I try to create a calm and safe environment where they can feel in control of their space. I start by giving them time to adjust, avoiding any sudden movements or loud noises, and letting them come to me on their own terms. I offer treats and gentle, quiet interactions, like sitting nearby and letting them approach me when they’re ready. Keeping a consistent routine—like feeding and playtime at the same time each day—can also help build their confidence. And if they like, I’ll give them a cozy spot to retreat to, like a soft bed or a quiet corner, so they can feel secure while still being close. Each cat is different, but with time and trust, they usually start to feel more comfortable and show their true personalities!

Amazing experience! Kari was an awesome sitter to our cat. She provided great updates and pictures, and was quick to respond! We will definitely contact her again to take care of Kaya!

Kari was very easy to talk to and work with and she charmed our shy kitty, Stevie, who likes to hide from strangers. When we first met, she remembered to ask questions to get important information that I hadn't considered. I felt super comfortable having her take care of my two kitties. Great pixs! Quick responses. We will use her again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Somerset cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

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.
