I'm Kat
Cat Sitting in Columbus, OH
My name is Kat, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Starting in my adult life, I became a crazy cat lady. I have 3 kitties of my own that are my whole life!
When I am cat sitting, I like to let the kitties come to me in their own time. I understand cat’s different behaviors and moods, and I will never force touching on a cat if they don’t want it. (I have a sassy tortie myself who lets me know when she’s had enough of me!) I believe it’s important to make a cat feel as comfortable as possible, even if that’s just me sitting on the floor with them and letting them sniff me... Hi!

When I am cat sitting, I like to let the kitties come to me in their own time. I understand cat’s different behaviors and moods, and I will never force touching on a cat if they don’t want it. (I have a sassy tortie myself who lets me know when she’s had enough of me!) I believe it’s important to make a cat feel as comfortable as possible, even if that’s just me sitting on the floor with them and letting them sniff me. I’ll make sure your kitty feels safe and loved while you’re away!
I am comfortable giving cats medication and even inhalers. (My boy cat Toulouse has asthma).
I have been involved in the cat rescue community for a few years and learned so much about cats and their behavior. I’ve worked with rescue groups to trap feral cats and take them to get fixed and vaccinated (TNR). It is such a rewarding experience! I love knowing that I can help make a cats life better. I have also volunteered in shelters, so I am comfortable with a lot of different kitty personalities!
I am also happy to help with other chores around the house! Bringing in mail, watering plants, even feeding outdoor strays if you need!
I can’t wait to meet your kitties!!
Learn More About Kat
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy meeting new cats! I love that every cat has a different personality, and I love letting that shine. Making sure your kitty is comfortable and feels love is most important to me.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
My favorite experience cat sitting was when I got to look after a sphinx!!! I had never been around one before and I was so excited! He was the sweetest boy.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Anxious cats deserve to feel safe too. My plan around timid cats is always to let them come to me in their own time. I will sit quietly on the floor with them until they feel comfortable. If they are treat motivated, I will give some treats while staying calm.

KAT IS THE BEST!! I have a cat that must be medicated and separated. Kat does such a wonderful job ensuring she gets her medications and gets lots of 1 on 1 attention. She is also so fabulous with my other kitties, and one even remembered her from her first time watching!

Kat was extremely friendly and professional! She sent timely updates everyday and really made my cat Chipper feel super comfortable! She even reached out again when there was a power outage around town to see if we were impacted and if she needed to check in on Chipper!

Kat was wonderful with our cats. She took the time to read my long instructions letter and asked a question about something I forgot to include. She took great pictures every day and provided a status update for this nervous cat mom. She played with the cats and gave them treats, she cleaned litter box messes, and she even brought in our mail and packages. I will definitely book her again!

Kat was an awesome cat sitter. She took great care of our three cats, including one old lady who needs pills twice a day. Our kitties are a little shy with new folks and we could tell from the photo updates that the cats really warmed up to her and loved playing during visits.

This was our first time using Meowtel and are so happy to have found Kat! She sent us great pictures and updates everyday and took excellent care of our cats. We have a skittish/shy cat who typically hides around anyone but us; however, she was following Kat around on day one and by day two Kat was able to pet her (I think that’s a glowing review in cat terms!) Kat also gave our other cat daily medicine with no issues. We will book Kat in the future and highly recommend her!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Columbus cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!

Kat was great! She took wonderful care of my three indoor and two outdoor kitties, even though there was a foot of snow on the ground and freezing temperatures every day. I received pictures and updates every morning, and Kat was always there at the same time each day so the kitties maintained a routine. She is definitely a cat person!

Kat was great to work with. My travel plans were uncertain and she was very accommodating with last minute requests and reservation extensions. She took excellent care of my two cats - maybe too good - I think they were disappointed when I got home 😂. I really appreciated her daily updates and photos. I highly recommend Kat and will definitely reserve her in the future!
