Cat Sitting in Reno, NV

Your cat deserves care that feels calm, consistent, and truly attentive, and that’s exactly what I provide. I’ve had multiple cats of my own, all happy, healthy, and well-loved, and I’ve also cared for others’ cats while they’re away with nothing but positive experiences and peace of mind for their owners. I recently rescued my latest fur baby, Kira, and she is such a joy!

Your cat deserves care that feels calm, consistent, and truly attentive, and that’s exactly what I provide. I’ve had multiple cats of my own, all happy, healthy, and well-loved, and I’ve also cared for others’ cats while they’re away with nothing but positive experiences and peace of mind for their owners. I recently rescued my latest fur baby, Kira, and she is such a joy!

I understand that every cat has a unique personality, whether they’re social, shy, playful, or independent. I take the time to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home.

You’ll receive regular updates with photos so you always know how your cat is doing—whether it’s mealtime, playtime, or just a cozy nap. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to providing care you can fully trust.

Learn More About Kathleen

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My cat's name is Kira, she is 9 months old. We just lost the Queen of the cats, Piper, our family's beloved tuxedo cat.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I try to make sure I understand what's important to them and the things they really want me to know about their cat. I would be sure to bring notes and I have a standard list of questions to ensure I learn all I need to know about the fur baby.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love watching cats chase laser pointers! It's so versatile and they seem to keep the attention of a cat for a considerable amount of time. There are also many levels of activity that can be done with a laser pointer. It's the perfect toy!

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.

Reno cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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 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!
