I'm Kathryn
Cat Sitting in Bothell, WA
I’ve been caring for cats my whole life and have also worked to help convert outdoor tiny tigers into proper house kittens! This includes helping to harness train for the felines who just can’t leave their wild side behind! If this is something you have been looking to try I’m happy to help you along on the rewarding journey.
In addition to working with the extra lively I ... Hello! My name is Kathryn and thank you so much for considering me to care for your tiny tiger!
I’ve been caring for cats my whole life and have also worked to help convert outdoor tiny tigers into proper house kittens! This includes helping to harness train for the felines who just can’t leave their wild side behind! If this is something you have been looking to try I’m happy to help you along on the rewarding journey.
In addition to working with the extra lively I also have experience with cats that are going through medical issues or trauma. If you have a fur baby that has been struggling for any reason I know how important communication and consistency is for them and would be honored to be a part of them feeling the best they can.
All this to be said if your tiny tiger takes awhile to warm up, needs some extra attention, or you want them to learn something new I am your girl! I hope to meet with you and your little one soon!
Learn More About Kathryn
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to know each cat better. There are so many different personalities that come with their own separate set of adventures!
What is your favorite cat toy?
The new one that became an unexpected hit! However, a long standing favorite is a sock stuffed with catnip. If you haven’t done that yet please try! It is an easy way to recycle an old sock and rabbit kicks are sure to ensue!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Each cat is very different and can need a different approach. The biggest factor is to not move things to quickly or to force any interactions that they can’t remove themselves from.

we are so happy we found Meowtel, my partner went out of town and I stayed home with a cat needing Subcutaneous fluids, that I wasn’t comfortable doing, plus another set of eyes because she Was very sick the week before. Kathryn was so much help, caring and knowledgeable. I could relax and our cats health improved. we are definitely going to have Kathryn return again, I would highly recommend her.

No hesitation giving Kathryn my highest rating! She took exceptional care of our 2 senior cats. One needs meds and they both have anxiety issues and she really worked with both their personalities to keep them calm and happy. I will definitely use her in future whenever possible.

Kathryn is an awesome cat/house sitter! This is the second time we’ve used her for our 2 cats. One has medical issues and requires medication daily, the other is very shy. I can tell they’re comfortable enough with her that she’s now been accepted as part of the family “colony.” House was also well cared for and left in great condition. Will definitely book her again if she’s available. Highest recommendation!

Kathryn is the real deal! Experienced, patient, kind, and communicative. she brought over toys and treats to tempt my kitties. She took extra special care of my old man with chronic kidney disease. She coaxed my young salty mama kitty into letting her trim her claws. We came home and everything was calm. just a joy to work with. We will be back!

Kathryn is amazing and far exceeded our expectations! She has completely won over our cat, Miyuki, who is very shy around strangers and has had several setbacks at local cat hotels. Based on the videos and pictures Kathryn sent during each visit, it is clear that she put Miyuki at ease and she was her usual happy self when we returned. Kathryn has a wonderful personality and is great to work with. She will truly care for your cat and we cannot recommend her enough!

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.
Bothell cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!

A+. One of my kitties can be a little spicy when strangers enter his domain without his people there. As the week went on, Kathryn had him giving her head bonks and eating out of her hand. I will absolutely hire her again!!

Kathryn did a great job taking care our our two cats. her communication was excellent. we were happy to get daily updates and photos/videos. it is not easy for me to trust people with our cats, but I felt Kathryn did an excellent job. I was really happy to see her playing and interacting with them and spending time getting to know them.

Kathryn is wonderful! Our kitties adore her, including our two very shy ones. She gave them lots of snuggles, playtime and overall love. She notified us of any concerns (one had a little claw swipe and another had a couple knots she rectified). We felt very comfortable with Kathryn taking care of our kitties and home and definitely recommend her!

Kathryn was the perfect fit for our cat. She is clearly a cat person, patient, loving and a good sense of humor. She had zero hesitation in dealing with our grumpy and sick cat and did so incredibly well. We'll have to go on another trip just to have her watch the cat again I was so happy with her service.

Kathryn did a great job watching our two kitties! Our cats are dealing with some health issues right now and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a pet sitter willing to handle my long list of instructions. I messaged Kathryn before booking to explain the situation and she was more than willing to help. Her communication during the trip was great and I felt better knowing that our cats were in good hands. It’s clear Kathryn loves cats and goes above and beyond for them.

Riley can be a bit particular about his people, but he clearly adored Kathryn. She took amazing care of him, kept us updated, and made sure he got plenty of attention and affection while we were away. Knowing he was in such good hands let us relax and enjoy our trip.

Kathryn was phenomenal! She is incredibly thoughtful, caring, timely, and truly in tune with cats. She hosted my cat, Kunta, while I was on vacation. He gets extremely stressed in new environments, so I was nervous, but she calmed him almost immediately and kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’ve used her multiple times since and would recommend her 10/10. She even got him comfortable wearing a harness and going on walks, something I didn’t think was possible since he would usually just flop over when I tried. Beyond boarding, her knowledge and guidance have made a huge impact. She showed me better ways to trim his nails and safely wrap him so grooming is far less stressful. Her consent-based approach to care and training made a noticeable difference in earning Kunta’s trust. When I first started working with Kathryn, Kunta struggled with over-licking that caused fur loss and frequent cuts, and he also has arthritis from a past pelvic injury, which led to muscle loss in one rear leg. After following her recommendations, the improvement has been incredible. His skin healed, his fur grew back, and he’s now running and jumping again, something he hadn’t done in years. Kunta is back to his playful, kitten-like self, and I truly credit Kathryn for that. She is an absolute gem!
