Cats Deserve

a Cat Person

KatStay was created for conscientious cat owners like you who desire the freedom of a worry-free travel experience.

Let’s face it - pet sitting revolves around dogs! Cats often get the short end of the stick when it comes to pet-sitting companies as services are tailored specifically to our canine friends. That is why Kate Van Sloten created KatStay. As a cat lover and cat person, she knew that cats need totally different kinds of care than dogs do and wanted to create a service just for cats!

KatStay is a FELINE ONLY in-home pet-sitting service designed to meet the unique needs of cats. Services take place directly in your own home to ensure your cat is the happiest they can be. Kate understands and specializes in the unique social, emotional, and physical needs of cats throughout all stages of life. She is just the “cat person” you and your cat have been wishing for! KatStay looks forward to providing cat parents in Eau Claire and Altoona with peace of mind, unmatched professionalism, and compassion for their feline family. Learn more about Kate here.

Why Should YOu Choose Katstay?

“Kate is an AWESOME sitter! So devoted to her charges. She is a vet tech so no worries about health. Also performed some house watch duties for me. Always dependable & reliable. Loved the pictures/videos she would provide as updates.”

Nancy Laverdiere - Oreo’s Mom

”KatStay is absolutely fantastic! She was very attentive to our cat Piper and gave a very detailed report on all of her activities while we were gone. She even kept us updated with pictures every day! I would highly recommend KatStay because she is the most compassionate and attentive pet sitter I have ever had!”

Keith Krey - Piper’s Dad

“Kate at KatStay is a cat whisperer! I highly recommend her. She treats each cat as her own and creates an individualized plan for your pet. I was so impressed by Kate, but even more important is how happy my cat was. Usually my cat is scared of everyone - but not Kate! She adored Kate and was so happy when she came to visit and take care of her. Kate has lots of experience and knowledge. It’s wonderful to have someone who specializes in cats, and is so loving and enthusiastic towards them.”

Lisa Quinn-Lee - Cupcake’s mom

"I have so appreciated that you've been willing to care for my kitties for so long. It has meant a lot to me that you have always been so dependable, kind, and attentive. All my cats love you, and have a great time with you. Thank you for being such an amazing person - you have truly been a blessing in our lives.”

Paula Lodge - Mom to Sid, Zephyr, Shadow, Lilly, and Jack

”Kate was a trusted pet care provider for my family for four years. She was wonderful with our pets, trustworthy, and compassionate. She was dependable, punctual, and always smiling. Kate provided so much more than cat sitting, she became part of our family and was a loving and kind person to pets and humans alike. “

The Coneys - family of Chester, Thomas and Louie

“Trusting your pets with pet sitters is a big leap of faith. Particularly cats, who are often an afterthought on a lot of pet sitting websites. That is not the case with KatStay. Kate is incredible, she answered all of our questions, took excellent care of Dorothy, and had incredible communication. As a bonus, she was a vet tech for a long time which is an extra layer of comfort. We cannot recommend Kate enough.

Kallie Friede - Dorothy’s mom

“The BEST pet sitter for my furry babes!!! Kate is wonderful on updates and keeping a clean environment for all the animals. One of my babes had an emergency on the last visit day and Kate let me know right away about any issues! I will use Kate to pet sit again and again!! Five stars!”

Lex Delve-Faye Wray’s mom

“Kate has taken care of my cats several times while I was away and I cannot say enough good things about her! She's very knowledgeable, compassionate and truly has a way with pets. I absolutely recommend her services to anyone who needs a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
