Cat Sitting in Dallas, TX

Cats are my life-literally. I have owned cats from the age of just a few months to present day(41 years). I also ran a home pet sitting service for a few years where I cared for cats and also offered overnight boarding as well.

Cats are my life-literally. I have owned cats from the age of just a few months to present day(41 years). I also ran a home pet sitting service for a few years where I cared for cats and also offered overnight boarding as well.
I definitely prefer cats over dogs. They are by far the best! Cats rule and dogs drool😜 I currently have a Siamese and a Bombay. A girl and boy. Along with my human kids, they are my babies too.
As far as my visits, I always send updates to the clients(picture and videos) as long as the cats aren’t too shy and hiding somewhere lol. I also always give them plenty of loving if they allow it😊

Learn More About Kristen

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

I have been sitting since 2014, and I have been caring for my own cats since I was a teen. I would say I have advanced experience.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is the purrs and cuddles. I also enjoy getting to play with them

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite reservation was a calico. She was shy and clingy to her parents during the meet, but as soon as the visits started she immediately came up to me and would cuddle in my lap as long as she could.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes I have kitties myself. I have them literally since I was a baby. My current cats names are Ash and Mouse

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

Pick me! Just kidding🤣 I would say just research online and interview a few until you feel you have met one that you are the most comfortable with and feel your cats would have the best care with.

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

Locking the door when I go in and out, and making sure any toys, food, and treats are back in place when I leave.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite toy is the feather wand. Out of all the cats I have sat over the years, this seems to be their favorite also.

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

First thing, give them space. If they are timid or anxious I wait for them to feel comfortable enough to come to me. Because approaching them or trying to force anything will just cause them to become even more so.

Kristen was very quick to respond to my reservation request. When she came by to introduce herself, my cat warmed up to her very quickly and I felt comfortable knowing my cat would be in good hands. Kristen gave me good and timely updates about each visit, with nice photos. I would recommend her to anyone and would call on her again in the future.

I felt so safe about leaving my kitties in Kristen’s care. My typically shy cats came to greet her immediately. I loved getting updates with pictures of my cats. Kristen was amazing and will definitely be my go to cat sitter next time I travel!

Kristen did an awesome job taking care of our cats while we were away for a week! We have zero complaints and would definitely ask her to help us out again! This was our first experience using Meowtel, and it was very reassuring compared to some people we had used through another service where there was not much communication.

Kristen is a straight up 10/10! Grateful we found her and look forward to having her take care of our cats, again! Thanks to Kristen, we can finally travel! Our shy cat who likes no one and hides for everything was out and about with Kristen each visit! We have an insulin diabetic cat and Kristen was phenomenal with her! Can’t thank her enough!

Kristen was great! She took care of my 9 kitties including some outside cats and dealt with an alarm snafu with ease! I loved that she referred to my kitties by name and sent photos and updates each visit. Everything was perfect. Thank you!

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.

Dallas cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
