Karen was fantastic. When I arrived home from my trip and opened the door Penelope and Toro greeted me with a look that saiid, ‘Oh, it’s you. We were hoping for Karen.” The video and photo updates were much appreciated. This was my first trip away since getting the girls, but I feel comfortable taking many more trips as long as Karen is available!

We were in a pinch after our previous cat sitter wasn’t able to help with a weekend trip we planned. Karen stepped in with only a few days notice. Getting her up to speed with our boys, the meds (our oldest cat has diabetes), and the logistic of our home was easy. while we were away we got updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing all was going well. Karen was awesome and we’ll definitely be asking for her again.

Karen is a wonderful petsitter! She took detailed notes at our meet and greet and gave me daily thoughtful updates while I was gone. She handled my senior cat with care and administered a daily inhaler with no problems. When I returned from my trip I saw that Karen had left a gift bag with treats for the cats - and me! - and a very sweet note. It was a great way to come home 😊

Karen did an amazing job from start to finish. She is incredibly professional, has great attention to detail, and takes amazing photos! She easily handled one of our cat’s thyroid medication. Our cats are very relaxed after coming home.

Karen is truly an angel on earth. My husband and I cannot praise Karen enough for the love, care, and attention she lavished on our three cats while we were away. Her gentle and patient nature resonated so well with our cats who all have varying personalities, and can also be a handful sometimes. Karen is also incredibly responsible. She kept us updated twice daily with detailed descriptions and beautifully captured photos. This allowed us to enjoy our vacation stress-free, and we were able to sleep well knowing our cats were well cared for. Thank you, Karen! We know now to always come to you when we need someone to rely on to watch over and care for our cats.

Karen provided outstanding care and companionship to my cat Smoky! Karen is attentive and accommodating. She looks for ways to enhance the experience. At every visit, Karen sent updates including photos and videos of play, purrs and meows! Smoky and I highly recommend her.

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!
