Kat's Sitting

I'm Kat

Cat Sitting in Eugene, OR

10% discount for new clients (applied automatically)!

I'm Kat, and I love spending time with cats so much that I decided to do it for a living! I currently have four of my own, and I volunteer as a foster parent for a local cat rescue.

I know how stressful it can be to trust a stranger with your cats, and I love having the opportunity to help my clients have peace of mind so they can enjoy their trips without worrying about how things are going at home. I always provide multiple pictures and videos as well as a detailed account of how each visit goes, so you can feel comfortable knowing your kitties are in good hands.

I’ve had multiple cats with medical issues, so I am experienced giving medication to non-aggressive cats orally, topically, and via injection if the cat is used to them.

I’ve always gravitated toward cats, and I love how you have to earn their trust and respect...

I’ve always gravitated toward cats, and I love how you have to earn their trust and respect. Behaviorally, my approach is research-based, using shaping and positive reinforcement to help cats be happy and get their needs met in ways that are acceptable to humans. A big part of cat stress relief is playtime that engages their natural prey cycle (hunt-catch-kill, eat-groom-sleep), and I have a bag of cat-approved toys I can bring during my visits upon request.

I have worked in Eugene as a high school teacher, ran my own consulting business (Feline Behavior Investigators), and as an accounting manager for a local software company. I'm a regular Jill of All Trades!

I am available for sits in the Eugene area; please see the map in my picture gallery for my approximate coverage area, which is about a 5 mile radius from the VRC. Meowtel has moved to a zip code-based service area, which unfortunately isn't accurate for less-urban areas like Eugene, so this is my work-around! I am generally available between 9-3 most days.

I’m highly respectful of other people‘s property, and treat their homes like I would my own. I am detail oriented, so don’t be surprised if I take copious notes during meet and greets. I'm fully vaccinated and happy to mask up!

I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your cats!

Learn More About Kat

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been cat sitting full time since June 2022.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

In addition to building connections with cool cats, I love giving people peace of mind that their kitties will be well taken care of under my care. It can be stressful trusting a stranger with your cats and your home, and I aim to help my clients feel confident that their cats' needs will be met AND they'll get comprehensive updates and pictures after each visit. I also love the variety of getting to know different people, cats, and places, and maintaining my (often chaotic) calendar is actually really fun to me!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

We have 3 senior girls (Jadzia, Saffron, Sriracha) & 1 young foster fail boy (Fidget). We usually have a rolling rotation of foster cats as well. At one point, we fostered a litter of 6 kittens, so we had TEN cats in our house! Jadzia & Fidget are great at showing the new cats the ropes, but our other girls are merely tolerant of them.

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

Read profiles & reviews carefully to make sure you get the best fit for what your cats need. Ask lots of questions during the meet & greet once you select a sitter, and make sure you are clear about your expectations for visits. Although I take copious notes at meet & greets, I always appreciate a good checklist!

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

I ask questions before accepting a booking to make sure we are a good fit, and that we're clear on expectations for the timing & duties performed during visits. I created a template I fill out using the provided data in Meowtel about each cat, which I use as a guide during meet & greets to ensure I have all the info I need. I have clients walk me through their cats' routines & answer any questions or concerns they may have.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The Cat Dancer & Da Bird are the best wand toys, and you can't get much better than a small catnip rattle mouse for throwing! I have a bag full of fun toys I'm happy to bring to visits if my clients approve.

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

Shy cats are some of my favorites, and the rescues I volunteer with often give me the cats who need socialization, so I have tons of experience with them. I often softly narrate what I'm doing during visits so they can get used to my presence & voice, and I let them approach me instead of the other way around. Avoiding direct eye contact, I'll let them sniff me and decide whether or not they want to be pet. It's all about letting them go at their own pace!

Kat was great, she asked in-depth questions during the meet and greet to cover any scenario when I was away. She sent multiple pictures and videos of my kitties each time she visited with a detailed update. Definitely made my time away less stressful knowing they were un goid hands.

I can't say enough good things about Kat! She's attentive and caring and takes excellent notes so she never misses a thing. Our cats love her. She works to engage them in meaningful play, she does all the care taking tasks like kitty litter, food etc. and she sends wonderful updates with pictures and video. We know we can always count on her to take care of our babies when we're away!

Kat was my first ever time with a sitter, and I was very picky and anxious before finalizing booking. She was was perfect!! As soon as I met her, I knew my kitties were in good hands. It’s clear that she truly loves kitties and wants them to be comfortable and have fun. One of my cats has specific needs and Kat was really understanding and handled it without any issue. Got tons of updates while I was away and from all of the photos, it looked like my cats loved playing with her. She’s really amazing!! Do not hesitate to book her :)

Kat took great care of my two senior cats. My cats loved the attention and pets from Kat. Kat is reliable, follows feeding instructions, and even brought her own cat toys to entice my senior cats to play. I highly recommend Kat!

She is absolutley amazing! First time but not the last! Her initial consult visit was thorough and she got along instantly with my cats! she was super thorough with the photos and letting me know what's happening at the house. I also have to shout out trying to still play with my grumpy cat despite the fact she hid under the bed a lot! 🥰

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.

Eugene cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
