I'm Katharine
Cat Sitting in Marengo, OH
My background is in medicine, and today I work in holistic wellness — so I bring both a careful, attentive ... I am so excited to meet you and care for your fur-ever friend! Animals have been a central part of my life since childhood — I've had cats all my life and have always found deep joy in nurturing and caring for them. Over the years, I've volunteered at numerous shelters, worked with animal rescues, and raised money to support organizations dedicated to giving animals a better life.
My background is in medicine, and today I work in holistic wellness — so I bring both a careful, attentive eye and a calm, nurturing presence to everything I do. When I'm not working, you'll find me hiking, cooking, practicing yoga, meditating, or snuggling with my cats, Sasha and Kingsley.
I am kind, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about the animals in my care. Whether your pet thrives on routine, needs a little extra reassurance, or just wants a cozy lap to curl up on, I am here for all of it. You can feel confident knowing your fur baby is in loving, capable hands while you're away.

Katharine is always our go-to cat sitter because she is truly the best. We have her care for our cats every single time we’re away, and she never misses a beat. She treats our kitties as if they’re her own and does a flawless job every time. This most recent trip really showed how thoughtful and dependable she is — when we were unexpectedly delayed due to a storm, she proactively made sure extra water and food bowls were set out in case she couldn’t safely make it back to the house. That level of care, foresight, and responsibility gave us so much peace of mind. We trust her completely and can’t recommend her highly enough.

Katharine was a fabulous choice for a sitter to take care of my kitties while I was away! She took amazing care of both my cat’s needs as well as gave them some extra social attention with each check-in. I also loved how thorough her post check-in updates were; they made me feel very reassured knowing my kitties were being well taken care of. Definitely plan on booking her in the future when I need a sitter again!

Katharine has cared for our Bellini several times while we were away and the care is amazing! We don’t worry at all and she includes lots of pictures with her updates. We also appreciate her bringing in the mail and packages. She always responds right away to any messages. A purrfect 10!

This was my first time using a cat sitter- did so because one of my cats is on twice daily meds currently. Was obviously a bit nervous leaving my sick cat but Katharine was great with both of my cats and gave great updates every day! I would definitely use her again for my cat sitting needs!

Katharine has looked after my furbabies several times now, and I can totally recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter. She goes above and beyond when needed: My most recent trip included a flight cancellation that meant I would be a day later than expected. Katharine covered the extra day graciously! I felt that my cats were well looked after and probably didn't miss me all hat much. She was even able to BRUSH them - which is something they don't let me do! I will definitely reach out to her in the future!

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.
Marengo cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!

Katharine was amazing!!!! I’d recommend her for any household. she swept up litter while we were gone, cleaned up a vase that the kitties got curious about, kept litter and food/water bowls clean daily and got our shy kitty out of his shell!! she is wonderful and I would love to have her back any time!

Katharine was a fantastic friend for our cat. He loved her immediately, and he was so calm upon our return, no signs of stress. We got awesome, detailed updates from Katharine every morning, with lots of pictures and great narratives of the visits. I knew my cat was being really well cared for.

Katharine is officially my go to cat sitter. She’s been watching my cats for a couple of months and they have definitely developed a great bond with her! They don’t even out anymore when I pull my suitcase out because I think they get to see her 😊 She is incredibly thorough, takes amazing pictures, and definitely goes above and beyond every time. My two cats and I are very lucky to have found her!!

Katharine was just wonderful! One of my kitties can take a while to warm up to people, but Ouska was seeking Katharine out during the initial meet and greet so I knew we were in good hands!! I loved reading her updates about how she played with both of them and their overall demeanor. It made me feel so much more comfortable. I would 100% recommend Katharine!

Katharine is an amazing cat sitter! My cat has been recovering from some health issues, and she kept a close eye on him while I was away and was very attentive to some unexpected needs that developed a couple days. it was such a relief to have her looking after him! I love the photos that she sends!

Another fantastic set of visits from Katherine! Our cat adores her, and she's so conscientious and caring in her reports of the visits. I can tell from the photos she sends that Nikita trusts her and has fun with her.

Wonderful care from Katharine as always! lots of cute action photos, great updates with details, and generally a lot of caring that comes through in each update and is reflected in how calm our cat is when we return.

I’ve asked Katharine to watch my kitties several times, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She has really gotten to know both of their unique personalities and has catered her visits to make sure they’re each feeling special. Plus, she takes incredible pictures! Your fur babies will be in good hands with Katharine 😊
