Learn More About Katelyn
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to see all of their different personalities as well as watching known anxious cats warm up to me. They all have such adorable different quirks.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
My favorite cat sitting reservation is for a repeat family who has one cat who’s favorite toy to play with is a deck of cards!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two orange boys named Kermit and Binx. Kermit is eight and Binx is three. I rescued Binx as a very sickly stray and slowly nursed him back to health by administering medication to treat Giardia, eye infections, ear infections etc.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Even with my own cats I always do a head check for when I get home and before I leave.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I’m a college student and usually have all holidays off for school so I’m typically available for drop by visits for most of them.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I like to introduce myself by letting them sniff my hand before initiating any contact so long as they have good body language. I also like to try and bond with cats with their favorite food/treats.

Excellent as always. She takes such good care and the kids really like her. Our boy especially; we've had sitters before and he has always been stressed out when we come back. This return he was soft, calm and while he enjoyed us coming back, I did have to help him look around the house for Katelyn. Fantastic!

Katelyn is a wonderfully attentive sitter. She gives great updates and is very good with the cats. 1 of our cats has tended to smell really stressed out and look anxious after being left with sitters in the past, but he doesn't seem nearly as bad when left with her. Definitely recommended, and will be seeking her again in the future.

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.
Yorktown cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!

Katelyn has a lot of love to give and her favorite outlet for her love is cats! She is well equipped to take care of cats and is thrilled to do so. When meeting her, she will bring up her cats almost instantly with an immediate grin on her face and she will light up the moment your cat enters the room. She understands far more about cats than I do and has way more experience with the actual care of cats.
