I'm Crystal
Cat Sitting in La Crosse, WI
Something personal about me, I like taking pictures of pets I have met, I think all pets are cute, I love learning the background of any pets I meet, I like to sketch, and I like to chill on my bed or sofa. I sometimes play with my cat by using the string of my blanket, the cat laser, and/or my cat toy. My cat, Kitty, chose me as her person and I'm happy with that because I get to sleep with her almost every night... Hello! I am a lover to all cats. I have experienced in taking care of my 3 lovely cats for 4 years. Two out of the three were strays and are living their best life with us. My cats' names are Kitty, Whiskers, and Oreo.
Something personal about me, I like taking pictures of pets I have met, I think all pets are cute, I love learning the background of any pets I meet, I like to sketch, and I like to chill on my bed or sofa. I sometimes play with my cat by using the string of my blanket, the cat laser, and/or my cat toy. My cat, Kitty, chose me as her person and I'm happy with that because I get to sleep with her almost every night. I wish I could cuddle or hold her in my arms but she usually doesn't like that, so I let her go. I don't force my cats into something they don't like.
I don’t like getting out of bed if Kitty’s there in the morning because she looks so comfy around my legs and I don’t want to ruin it. So I apologize to her and reluctantly move my body out of the bed to start my day.
I am available throughout Sunday to Thursday. I will keep my driving distance 30 minutes or less to clients, but will be fine with going a little over for overnight visits. Why I want to start cat sitting is because I love cats and their happiness is my number one priority.
What I will be doing when I visit:
•Follow your guidelines
•Give cats all the affection and pets they want
•Give them space when they tell me to
•Play & cuddle with them
•Pick up your mail
•Take the garbage out for you and replace it with a new one
•Baby talk to your cats

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I’ll make sure to read the guidelines of what you told me so I know how to take care of their cats. I’ll also follow your schedule so your cats doesn’t get stress, including updating you about your cats.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toy would be the string of my blanket because I love seeing my cat Kitty focus on catching it with her cute boba eyes.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I will handle it by sitting down with them, talking in a calm voice, letting them sniff my hand first, and not giving them any eye contact until they’re ready for me to give them pets. I'll only give them pets on the head and under the chin until they trust me enough to touch their back.

La Crosse cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $20.00. 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!
