I'm Karla | Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

Hi, I’m Karla! I’m a part-time carpenter in training and visual artist looking for a side job that I’m truly passionate about. I’ve been a cat lady my entire life and I thought why not try to make a living treating cats like the gods and goddesses they are! There isn’t a time in my life where I didn’t have a kitty nearby to care for. They say “do what you love” and well, buddy, I freaking love cats! I have experience caring for cats at all life stages, including giving prescription medication when needed. One of my dearly departed cats was a sweet little blind tripawd boy who lived to a ripe old age thanks to being utterly spoiled an...

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have one cat named Minichicken. He just celebrated his 17th birthday! We had to say goodbye to my dear Biggie Smalls in 2021 and we still talk about him every day. I still think about my other cats I grew up with. They left an indelible mark on my heart!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I do holiday visits, because cats don’t care about calendars and their physical and emotional needs must be met even when their family is away for the weekend.

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

It’s a careful balance of letting them know you’re here to help, and letting them approach on their terms. Cats are incredibly sensitive so I stay calm and speak in soothing tones while avoiding direct eye contact. If I’m stressed, they will pick that up. I try to stay close (but not too close.) Keeping noises down and not making quick movements has been a successful method dealing with particularly anxious fur friends! My current kitty has separation anxiety and I have a lot of practice making him feel safe and calm so that his personality may blossom!

Karla was so great with my kitties! Karla’s consistent communication and care made me feel confident in relaxing on my vacation knowing that they were in good hands.

Karla is absolutely fantastic! My partner and I recently moved to Seattle and booked a trip soon after moving. Since we’re in a new city, it was important for me to make sure my cat Miso was in good hands, and I couldn’t have chosen a better caretaker than Karla. She’s incredibly detail-oriented, thoughtful, and showed genuine care and affection towards Miso. She asked great questions and made sure Miso was taken care of while we were away. I will definitely book Karla again without question and couldn’t recommend her enough!

Really liked Karla from the first meet and greet and could tell she would take great care of Crystal and Charlie - which she did.. She spent quality time and went above and beyond with excellent communication and timely updates. We hope she is available the next time we plan a trip.

I don't know what Karla's secret is but I've never had a cat sitter who made my cat anywhere near this happy. I have a very sweet cat who also likes to hide from cat sitters. Usually it takes several days for her to come out and even then she might only greet the sitter. My cat came out to see Karla at the end of the first day. By the time I returned, she was being a lap cat, which never happened before. She also took plenty of time to play with my cat who can be quite active and really does need playtime. She was also really good about making sure that if my cat didn't eat the previous day's wet food (she does that a lot), the old food went in the trash and she got fresh new food.

Such a wonderful human! Khleo and Karla got along immediately and I knew right then and there Khleo was in good hands. super speedy responses and her ability to always be kind and patient with me and all of the emergent things that happened that led to my cancelling the rest of the reservation- Karla is simply the best and yes, I will be having her as Khleo’s sitter from now on, no questions asked.

Karla was my first experience with a cat-sitter that wasn't friends or family, & she did an OUTSTANDING job of taking care of our 4 kitties on short notice while we attended a wedding out of state! I'm so glad I went with her friendly face & our kitties got excellent care! I was initially nervous to ask a stranger to wear a mask in our apartment (due to being immunocompromised) along with my request for wearing no-or-low scented products because of my allergies... but Karla immediately provided reassurance, asked what types of masks I prefer she wear, & problem-solved the scent request with ease. She made me feel understood, respected, & that I could put my faith in her to tend to our kitties' care & take the anxiety off my mind while we traveled, which she did. She made sure to run through the list of possible concerns & was very thorough & professional during the meet & greet. Karla was super responsive, asked lots of great questions about behavior, personalities, & needs of each cat, & demonstrated her clear knowledge & even better--true understanding & appreciation of cats & all their weird & amazing quirks! She sent lots of pics/videos, updates on play & food time, & details about tasks she took care of (like cleaning/refilling their water fountain for me when I forgot in the rush of packing, scooping the litter boxes, etc.). Karla was above & beyond awesome, on top of being a super cool, gentle, & calming presence that was just nice to vibe with all-around. Our 2 boy kitties warmed up to her quickly thanks to her cat introduction knowledge & she was *blessed* with the rare appearance of the 2 girls (who usually hide when they hear strangers) so they can also attest to her calm cat energy--our 4 kitties approve: 10 meows out of 10 meows!!! I also highly recommend her for your kitty care!!! :)

Karla takes her work very seriously. If I gave her a task I never had to worry if it would be done or not. She is not afraid to ask for help, has great attention to detail, and loves cats in particular. I would happily leave my two cats in her care without hesitation.
