Learn More About Karina

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Banana and Little RBG! Both are rescues. Banana came from the ASPCA and Little RBG (or Arbee!) came from a local TNR group. They are my world. 🐈‍⬛😻

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Be sure to hire a cat sitter who keep things clean around the house, follow instructions to the T, and send daily pics and videos to ensure you that your furry friends are ok! 👌🏻 Communication is key!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Making sure the windows are all shut, stoves and ovens and all of other fire hazards are turned off. Always double check that the doors are locked.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Being very very patient with them. A lot of slow blinks while talking to them and keeping a distance that feels safe to them.

Karina was great. She spent a lot of time playing with my friendly cat and was great at coaxing out the cat that is less friendly. She is very caring, responsible and respectful! when we met for first time she took copious notes and asked great questions. Her communication and pictures while I was away were excellent I am thrilled that Karina was my cat sitter and look forward to using her again for future needs. I highly recommend!!!

Karina is an extremely caring and competent cat sitter and human. She is communicative, pays attention to details and ensures the job is done with the utmost love, care and responsibility. She has watched my cat many times and I have always had a pleasant experience. She assisted giving my cat their medicine when they were sick and was easily able to gain my cat's trust and administer the medicine. 10/10 would recommend her.

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 $31.00. 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.
