I'm Kayla

Cat Sitting in Knoxville, TN

My name is Kayla and I've had cats most of my childhood and adult life and am currently mom to three: an orange tabby named Simba and 2 torties, Honey and Hazel, all with distinct personalities. I pride myself on being able to speak cats language and am able to befriend even the most untrusting cat. I can stop in on... My name is Kayla and I've had cats most of my childhood and adult life and am currently mom to three: an orange tabby named Simba and 2 torties, Honey and Hazel, all with distinct personalities. I pride myself on being able to speak cats language and am able to befriend even the most untrusting cat. I can stop in once or twice per day to feed your cats, scoop litter, and even administer medicine if required. I'll make sure your cat is safe, while respecting their boundaries, which I believe is the most important factor in interacting with cats. With that being said, I'm not afraid to cat sit for cats deemed difficult by most.

Learn More About Kayla

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have 3 cats. I have an orange tabby named Simba who loves the outdoors and goes on a walk on his leash every day. Then, I have 2 tortoiseshell girls, Honey and Hazel, who watch the world from a windowsill and cause chaos at random times.

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

I am extra cautious around doors when entering or leaving a home. I am well aware that cats can be escape artists, so I always make sure that doors are secure.

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

I think it's important to give these types of cats their space while showing clearly that you won't hurt them. I always let them sniff my hands first and let them decide whether they want pets or not.

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.

Knoxville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
