My name is Katherine, and I have been pet-sitting in Rochester for nearly a year. Kitties are my absolute favorite—I have two myself! 🐈⬛🐈⬛
If you book with me, you can expect quick and clear communication, lots of kitty photos, and happy cats upon your return. I offer snuggles and play time in the form of drop-in visits and overnight care.
I am detail-oriented and love clear care instructions. I can administer medication, trim nails, etc. I have had kitties my entire life and I’m accustomed to indoor fur babies, indoor-outdoor cats, semi-ferals, and neighborhood strays. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet to meet your pets and go over any questions! :)
Learn More About Katherine
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I have cared for a blind kitty here in Rochester several times. She is the sweetest (and also fiestiest)!! I loved giving her supervised outside time, couch cuddles, and play time with crinkly toys she can hear ☺️
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I love meeting new pet parents and their fur babies in person (meet-and-greet included if booking is confirmed). Talk me through your daily routine, details of your home, and any special care instructions!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I am a cat-whisperer, and I know how to take time and give space to timid babies. A first meeting with the pet-parent is often helpful here :)

Rochester cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
