I also know how to deliver oral medication, injections, and asthma treatments. I have 2 of my own so I know what it means to look after a cat. If your baby is calm i’ll bring my book and we can lounge around together. If they’re not so calm i’m prepared for that too! I have an orange cat and a manx tuxedo so I know how to play well and safely crazy! Let me hang out with your little sweet heart while you’re away!

Learn More About Taniyah

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love seeing the different personalities that cats have. Their home is their kingdom and when they accept you in you get to see all the adorable weirdness cats get up to.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 1 cat and his name is Giorno. We just recently lost our 2nd cat, a manx named mittens.

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

I understand that anything new is stressful to cats and some are better at hiding it than others. I always try to respect the space the cat has created but let them know i’m there and mean no harm! Keeping an eye from a distance but not making the cat feel watched is a good skill i’ve picked up!

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.

Washington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
