Learn More About Kristen

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

I have been cat sitting with Meowtel since November 2025, but have been pet sitting for others (family, friends) for around 10 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I adore meeting new cats and learning their personalities. I like observing their behavior and catering each cat’s care to their specific needs based on said behavior!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

When my husband and I were still dating, his family would ask me to cat sit their old tabby girl named Gigi. Gigi was an ornery old woman who didn’t warm up to many people, but she took to me right away. Any time I would visit we would hang out like old friends. Gigi just passed this spring of 2025, and I carry her memory with me always!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! My husband and I gave two cats: an Orange Tabby named Alfie (4) and a Dilute Calico named Maple (5).

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

I typically message a cat parent about any time constraints I may have with their request before accepting. Once I accept the request, I then like to set up a preliminary meeting to go over routines, preferences, and any other information I may need.

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

I will always make sure the house stays as it was left for me. This means ensuring all doors, cabinets, closets, and containers are closed properly. I will also make sure anything that cats may want to chew on or eat (that they shouldn’t) is out of reach. I make sure that the cats stay safely inside by locking the doors via whichever method the parents give me (key, garage opener, etc).

Are you usually available during holidays?

With about a week notice I am usually free for drop-ins on holidays! If you have any specific questions regarding this, feel free to send me a message!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I am partial to a spring toy, because they are most coveted in our household. If you look under our refrigerator, you may find a jackpot of long lost spring toys because our cats love smacking them around the whole house!

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

Going at the cat’s pace and comfort is paramount. I listen to their body language, let them make the first move, and keep my own demeanor calm and collected. If you are patient, timid and anxious cats will reward that more often than not.

Kristen was the perfect sitter for our 2 rescue kitties. I was very hesitant to leave the cats for so long as they are both rescues and have had me around almost literally all the time when I adopted them and they dont often leave the same area I am in, or at least the general vicinity. One of the cats immediately took to Kristen when she came for the initial "get to know you" visit, sat next to her, purred and was obviously very comfortable with her. The other cat is quite stand-offish around new people and usually wont show himself for a long time. I brought him down to meet Kristen and he did not run away as usual. He sniffed her and then lay down near her, obviously very comfortable with her. Kristen sent at least 1 "Daily Update" which included not just her daily experience but also photos and videos of them the entire duration of our absence which made us very happy and it helped to ease my stress over leaving them for so long. I recommend Kristen without hesitation and will call on her again when and if the need arises.

Kristen did an outstanding job! She’s clearly a cat lover and two of our kitty clan members immediately liked her (which is saying a ton!). She’s kind, gracious, attentive, and caring. It’s comforting that we can rely on her as needed for travel or other needs. We highly recommend Kristen!

Frequently Asked Questions

Drexel Hill cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
