Learn More About Kathryn

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I own five cats - Andy, Ary, Dayton, Nate and Sandy. Ary is my only girl, but she makes sure to keep the boy cats in line!

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

I make sure to get very careful instructions from the owner on how they enter/leave their house. It's important to know if their cat is an escape artist, or if they have a security system for their house, or if their cat likes to hide. You have to get to know the routine and the quirks of each cat home, because we all know it's actually the cat's place, and they're just letting us stay there! 😅

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love a feather or string toy since it allows you to actively play with your cat together, and helps simulate their prey instincts.

Kathryn did an amazing job with our cats—managing one of them who’s separated from the others, administering his asthma inhaler, bringing in packages and feeding some of the strays outside as well. We got photos and updates with every visit, and peace of mind that our cats were being visited with care. Would definitely recommend!!

Kathryn was an amazing cat sitter! She made sure to let me know how everyone was doing with status and photo updates and was quick to tell me if something was up. My cats loved her, and even the very spicy cat, who usually is afraid of new people, knew that she was a good person and was happy to see her. She went above and beyond and cleaned cat dishes and water fountains that we hadn’t even asked her too so that our cats could have the best time possible while we weren’t there. I would definitely book Kathryn again!

Kathryn was amazing with my cat. Even with a small emergency, she handled taking him to the vet and giving him medicine at the last minute. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone!

Kathryn was wonderful to work with! She made sure to send plenty of photos and was communicative while we were away. She also kept the toys and sink tidy. We loved seeing how happy our kitties were in her care, and feel comfortable booking again because of it!

Kathryn did a great job caring for my cat while I was out of town. My cat requires once a day medication and she handled that no problem. Will be seeking to rely on her again when I travel again later this month.

Kathryn took great care of my five cats while I was gone for a few days. She arrived promptly and made sure everyone got food, water, and plenty of pets. I received pictures each day with updates so I could see how everyone was doing, and I really appreciated that.

Had something come up and had to book her in a really short time. It was clear she did all the essentials: good, water, litter pans. Kathryn will to try to spend time with all kitties despite any shyness. Highly recommend!

Kat is a cat (person). With five cats of her own, plus a stray that has found its way to her, she knows what she's doing. She's also the daughter of a vet, which I'm sure has added to her animal competency and care level. She's going to LOVE your kitties!

If you're looking for someone trustworthy, consistent, and genuinely caring to look after your cat, I cannot recommend Kathryn enough. She is the kind of person who takes responsibility seriously and always shows up when she says she will with excellence and attention to detail. Her natural ability to connect with animals, paired with her calm and patient demeanor, makes her an ideal cat sitter. She doesn’t just "watch" your pet she cares for them. She pays attention to their habits, keeps their routines consistent, and ensures they feel safe and loved while you're away. What really stands out about Kathryn her integrity and dependability. You can count on her to communicate clearly, follow directions exactly, and even go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right. Whether it’s a short trip or an extended time away, you’ll have total peace of mind knowing your cat is in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with almost anything! She's the best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Columbus 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.
