😺My Approach to Meeting New Cats😺
Every cat has its own unique personality, and so I adjust my approach based on its comfort level, whether they’re a social butterfly or a shy observer. To build trust, I use soft tones, gentle movements, and positive reinforcement (like treats or play).
I always let cats set the pace, allowing them to approach me once they feel comfortable.
💊Medical Care Expertise💊
Confident in administering a variety of medications. I always follow precise care instructions to ensure your cat gets the necessary dosage and care.
✅ What You Can Expect ✅

Detailed attention to dietary restrictions, feeding schedules, and special instructions. A dutiful cat sitter who wants to ensure a clean and safe environment for your cat, keeping their routine as consistent as possible.
📅 Booking Process and Policies📅
Once you request a booking through the platform, we can meet in person at your home to give you a full house tour, covering important areas like where to find the cat litter, food, toys, extra supplies, and cleaning tools. During the home visit, I’d be happy to discuss personalized care and any other questions you may have to help ensure a stress-free experience.

When not caring for feline companions, I enjoy reading, exploring cozy coffee shops, and learning about animal behavior. I sincerely appreciate the unique personalities of every cat I meet and love discovering their quirks and favorite activities. Whether engaging in interactive play, providing soothing lap time, or simply keeping them company, I strive to make each visit a positive and enriching experience for your furry family!
Let’s connect and ensure your kitty receives the best care possible while you’re away!
Learn More About Kaylin
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve done professional pet sitting on different platforms and have also volunteered at the Westside animal shelter for over 5 years. My mission is to ensure that every pet that is in my care is safe happy and healthy.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love being able to see each cats, unique personality shine. Some cats are shy and timid. At first others are immediately playful. Some cats are very high energy and love to chase and jump, but some are very low energy and enjoy sleeping or sitting down on my lap. Some cats prefer exploring high places and some enjoy being lower to the ground. I love that with each interaction I learn something new.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I love every cat that has ever come into my care so it’s a bit challenging to say, which is my favorite. However, there was one memorable cat that had an orange nose, and I used to call him tiger. One day he surprised me by jumping on my back, and I carried him around like a little backpack. The pet owners were shocked because they were the only people he did that with. I love that he trusted me so much it was very special.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I don’t have any kitties myself since my landlord doesn’t allow pets but that’s okay! I get to spend more time with shelter animals and other people’s cats.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
When you hire a new cat sitter look for a reliable, experienced sitter with good reviews. Ensure they’re comfortable with cats, can handle emergencies, and follow all your specific care instructions. Meowtel does a full background check and checks references so once you make a decision on who to hire all you need to do is provide basic care instructions on feeding, litter, and any special needs your cat has.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
When working with a new pet parent, I start by scheduling a meet-and-greet to get to know both them and their cat. I take the time to learn about the cat’s personality, routine, medical needs, and any special instructions. I ask about feeding schedules, litter box habits, favorite hiding spots, and comfort items. I also discuss emergency protocols and gather contact information. During my visits, I send regular updates and photos to reassure pet parents. My goal is to provide compassionate, reliable care while maintaining the cat’s normal routine, ensuring both the pet and owner feel at ease.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Ensuring the safety and security of both the cat and home is my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the pet parent, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure doors and windows are securely locked, and I double-check that the cat is safely indoors before leaving. I also monitor their behavior for any signs of distress or illness. During visits, I provide regular updates with photos to reassure pet parents. If anything seems off, I communicate immediately and take appropriate action. My goal is to provide peace of mind and reliable care.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I’m available during the holidays but keep in mind Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years tend to be popular dates so please book ahead of time.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toy is the classic string. Hear me out on this, the length is adjustable and many cats respond to it pretty well. You can attach small toys like mice or feathers at the end. Also it’s one of the most affordable travel pet toys out there!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I approach every cat with patience and respect for their space. However for timid, shy, or anxious ones I’ll move especially slowly, speak softly, and let them come to me on their own terms. I’ll avoid direct eye contact if they seem to feel that it is too intimidating, and offer treats or toys as a gentle way to build trust. I also make sure to maintain a quiet, calm environment and follow their routine as closely as possible. Every cat is different, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe. My goal is always to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

When Kay is staying with your beloved cats, you will never question whether they are getting endless love, attention, and enrichment. Kay is the absolute ideal cat-sitter. I get incredibly anxious leaving our 4 (!) cats at home during travel. Kay did SO MUCH to make my partner and I feel at ease during our recent vacation. She sent us countless pictures and videos of our babies and sent a bunch of lovely updates about their little cat shenanigans. She gave them outdoor door in a pet stroller after asking for permission to do so, did little art activities with them, and gave them all the love and attention in the world. We cannot, CANNOT recommend Kay enough! She is a true gem of a human being and we feel so fortunate to have been introduced to her for our cat-sitting needs!

Kaylin was the perfect person to care for my little guy! She really helped me out on short notice, and my cat was so happy to have a new friend to play with. She left the litter box super clean and even left some extra treats for him! I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

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!

If you love your pet as much as we love our cat Kaylin is definitely the sitter for you! We love to travel but are always so worried about our cat who is very attached to us. Kaylin goes above and beyond what you could ever expect from a pet sitter. We can fully enjoy our travels knowing that our furry friend is in amazing hands. Honestly, I think she spoils him more than we do! She gives him cuddles, sings him songs, gives him special treats, and even crafts with him. She always sends plenty of photos and updates. There is no doubt that our cat was both loved and entertained while we were gone. Plus she was great at looking after our home. She always leaves everything in tip-top shape and even helped water some plants for us. I would 1000% recommend Kay for any pet sitting needs you have!

Aww Carley it warms my heart to see your kind words! it really makes my day knowing how much my effort is appreciated. It really affirms my love for working with cats.

Kaylin did an amazing job. Far exceeded our expectations and gave daily updates with photos and videos. We have a very shy cat and she helped her warmed up so quickly. She also went above and beyond with our shy girl by staying extra one day when she was scared from some construction noises. Overall, I cannot recommend Kaylin enough. Def our go to from now on.

Kay is a wonderful sitter, she is patient and attentive. She’s capable of handling unique feline challenges such as senior cats and medically complicated cats that require more care than most. Kay can administer pills and topical ointments but no doubt she has experience with other types. She does her upmost best to provide the exact care needed for the sit.
