Learn More About Karina

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

We have 2 little ones, Carl (11) and Stanley (3) who are the joy in our lives. If you’ve ever heard of Kiki and Buba, Stanley is definitely Kiki and Carl is Buba.

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

It all starts with getting to know your cats. I want to learn about their habits, schedules, and routines and built my visit around them. I want to learn what kind of play they enjoy, whether that be chasing a wand toy, pets and cuddles, or just sitting together. Medications are very important, so I’d spend some time asking you about that. I would also break down what you can expect from me (texts every visit, clean litter box, etc). I’m always open to doing things as your kitty likes!

Karina was absolutely terrific. She took excellent care of our elderly cat, even when he decided to greet her by throwing up. Once again, Meowtel has come through for us with such kind and professional care. 10/10

Karina took great care of our cats! She went above and beyond, taking time to pet and pamper them after taking care of the essentials like food and litter. We knew our boys were in good hands and felt at ease during our vacation!

Karina is one of those people who just really connects with cats. She absolutely adores her two little ones and always stops in her tracks to admire others she sees while out and about. She’s caring, reliable, and knows exactly how to make a cat feel comfortable and happy. I’ve known her for years and have seen her in action with pets of all personalities. Karina has experience both as a cat owner and as a sitter for friends and neighbors. She’s great with daily routines (feeding, litter box care, and playtime), and she’s very confident in giving medication when needed, always keeping the cat calm and comfortable. She notices the little things too, like subtle changes in mood or behavior, and health, which can make all the difference in a pet’s well-being. Beyond her skills, Karina is an incredibly trustworthy and responsible person. She communicates clearly, follows instructions carefully, and gives pet owners peace of mind knowing their little ones are in safe hands. And what really stands out is her warmth and empathy. Cats seem to sense that she genuinely cares, and owners quickly see that they can rely on her to responsibly look after their loved ones. Any cat would be lucky to have Karina as their sitter!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Woodside cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
