I'm Katelynn | Cat Sitting in Columbus, OH

I have been passionate about animals since I got my first pet at age 16. Since then, I have been heavily involved in animal rescue, specifically transporting dogs and cats coming from a pound or shelter to a rescue. I have spent many hours on the road making sure animals make it to safety. I am also a volunteer with a local rescue. I volunteer in the cat rooms and work with cats from kittens to seniors. This includes making sure the cats have proper socialization, enrichment, and exercise opportunities. I have completed Columbus Humane’s cat training and the Fear Free Shelter training. I also have almost ten years of experience cat sitting, which has included feeding, administering medic...

Learn More About Katelynn

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Just spending time with the cats! Every cat has such a distinct personality that makes them unique. I currently don’t have a cat of my own so I really enjoy getting to spend time with other people’s cats, while providing a fun and safe environment.

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

I want to ensure that I am a good fit for a cat before agreeing to care for them. I do a meet and greet to meet the cat, the parent, and familiarize myself with the cat’s home. I also request a written plan for each cat including likes, dislikes, feeding schedule, etc. I love to provide cat parents with daily pictures and updates. My goal is to make sure everyone is comfortable.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am often available for cat care over the holidays. My family is not local and we usually choose an alternate day to spend together.

My cat is super shy, so I was shocked when Katelynn sent me a photo of her petting her. Not to mention that my cat is not exactly photogenic and in the photo she looked happy.. They say that animals have a great sense about the character of a person, and the fact that my cat liked Katelynn says a lot. Thank you!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $27.00. 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.
