Learn More About Kristin

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

I have been caring for my own cats my whole life! I have been cat sitting for years for my friends and family but signed up with Meowtel in 2022. I absolutely love my job as a cat sitter!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting new kitties, learning about their needs and connecting with cat owners about cats! Cat owners are my people :) We can talk about cats, show pictures of cats and share stories of our own cats.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My black panthers are named Harry and Victor. They are 8 and 9 years old and still full of kitten energy! I adopted them from the local humane society, where I happen to work!

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

My number 1 priority is kitty safety. I follow every guideline the owner instructs me to do and follow it to the extreme! I know how much I worry about my kitties when I'm out of town so it is very important to me that my cat owners feel comfortable with me and my services. I'm also very focused on securing the owner's home when I arrive and leave. I've been given alarm codes, keys, fobs, etc. and I've never lost one of them! I make sure all doors are locked, windows are closed, and lights left on, should the owner request...especially since kitties need a night light :)

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

Give them space! I feel it is very important to adjust my behavior to meet the needs of the kitty. Cats display their shyness/anxiety by hiding, running and watching my moves very carefully. I respect that body language and give the kitty time to adjust to my presence. I also find that if I sit on the floor and not move, it really helps a kitty feel more comfortable. I have literally sat on more living room and kitchen floors than I can count! But it usually pays off with some sniffs, head butts or meows.

Kristin is amazing! We have three elderly cats who require multiple medications and have different feeding needs. Kristin took the best care of our cats. We could tell when we arrived home that they all were well cared for. She was very communicative and send lots of pictures. We felt so comfortable our entire trip knowing our very needy cats were in Kristin’s care.

Kristin took amazing care of our very shy cat while we were out of town and it was a huge weight off our shoulders knowing he was in such good hands. It's clear that she loves cats and has a lot of experience caring for them. Thank you so much Kristin!!

Kristin has been incredible. My original cat sitter fell through (to no fault of theirs) and Kristin was open to taking my Purrdita on last minute. She's been incredibly flexible given my situation hadn't had an exact end date for some time. Regular updates showing how happy my kitty was gave me such peace of mind knowing that she was happy and well taken care of. Purrdita is generally not a lap cat but she loved to curl up with Kristin!

Kristin was FANTASTIC! We were anxious about leaving our fur babies, but Kristin understood, and was a fantastic communicator before and during our trip. She sent detailed updates and pictures each visit. Her passion for animals was evident and I felt our home and cats were in great hands with her!

Frequently Asked Questions

Portland 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.
