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.

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!

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.

She is an excellent pet sitter! Incredibly kind, smart, and patient. She will do everything in her power to provide the upmost diligent care for every feline friend she comes across. You'll be lucky to have her!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Albuquerque cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, 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. 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.
