Learn More About Karla

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have one cat named Minichicken. He is about 17.5 years old! 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! Perfect creatures.

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. Note: unavailable 28th-31st of January.

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.) I keep my voice soft and don’t make quick movements ; it’s 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 will blossom! I’ve cracked the most shy of cats🐱

We were completely satisfied & delighted by Karla's care of our cats! Her experience in this work was obvious just from the meet and greet, and she took care of everything needed and checked in with any questions/concerns during the assignment. She was even able to take on a two-week assignment on short notice. She made friends with both cats and found ways to engage them and keep them happy every day. And she provided outstanding daily reports and plenty of photos and videos, which helped us miss our kitties a little bit less. I recommend her very highly!

I truly wish I can give more than five stars. We left on our vacation to go get married super worried about one of our three cats because he tends to be a Little bit sassy. Carla came in and showed so much genuine care for my cats. she worked for the obstacles to help mango feel as comfortable as she could. Even if he was being a bully she made sure to take care of all of the items that needed to get done. I seriously cant thank her enough.

Response from Karla on Aug 25, 2025 "Tory!!! It was such an adventure. I actually appreciate that Mango was a challenging baby. He helped me grow as a sitter. I’m grateful for your support throughout from a distance. It was definitely interesting. Looking forward to returning!"

This is the second time we book with Karla, and we couldn’t recommend her enough! She is so wonderful with our cat Miso and gives very detailed visit recaps with photos. I will absolutely continue to book with Karla and feel relieved knowing Miso is in her care.

Khleo looooves Karla. If Khleo approves, I approve! Karla is such a great personality - she’s kind, considerate, and so intuitive with my Khleo. Karla made sure to send me lots of videos and pictures and a great detailed message, every, single day; this means the world to me since my cat and I only live here on the West Coast. Karla is our preferred cat sitter, from now until always (or at least until I leave Seattle!). Thank you, Karla!!

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.

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!!! :)

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 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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Seattle cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
