I'm fully Covid vaccinated and I am CPR certified. I've been a cat sitter for the past 8 years.

Currently work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I'm able to work from your home if needed.

I'm a planner so I know my schedule in advance and will tell you at the meet and greet if I have extra activities planned.

Learn More About Kirsten

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

I have been a pet sitter for 8 year. Experience with medication management and as a previous client stating I "have a calming presence" where even the most skittish cat ends up trusting me.

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

For a smooth and stress free visit, I ask for a list or video of detailed instructions, expectations and emergency contact information.

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

Before the first video, if possible, I like to have a meet and greet to go over routine, meet the cat(s) and see if you the owner believe I am a good fit.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Since I am a local, most of my family lives in the area. So I am almost always available during the holidays.

Medication Experience:

Topical Ointments Eye/Ear Drops Oral Medication / Pills Injections / Diabetic Management

Skills:

Kirsten was just phenomenal from the first time we met through the entire time she spent with our two cats. She was thoughtful, kind, extremely responsive and just an all-around great human. Not only did she send me updates and pictures each day, she provided incredible peace of mind while we were out of town, especially because one of our cats had recently undergone oral surgery. I truly appreciated the ability to go on an extended vacation knowing that Kirsten was taking care of our cats and our home.

Kirsten took great care of my two cats, making sure they got attention and that one got her daily medicine. I happily recommend her if you’re looking for someone to check on your older cats.

The meet and greet with Kirsten went smoothly, and throughout our absence, she shared photo and video updates of our cats. Kirsten followed up with questions and was great about communicating any updates or changes about our cats’ behaviors or routine. We came home to two very happy cats!

The cats clearly loved Kirsten and interacted with her well. Kirsten rolled with the punches for a very large 10+ group of cats. Kitties were calm and happy when we returned.

I couldn’t be happier with the cat sitting services provided by Kirsten. She was very responsive with my inquiries and my furry boy looked content in the daily photos she sent me. I recommend her for anyone looking for a cat sitter.

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.

Arlington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
