Learn More About Maya

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for friends on occasion over the last few years, though never professionally. I have owned and lived with cats for my whole life.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting lots of different kitties and getting to know their unique personalities! It makes me very happy to give cats love and care.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My neighbor used to have the sweetest senior kitty named Trail Mix. It was such a joy to hang out with her while she (slowly) ate her food.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a sweet 2 year old girl named Soxie. She is the most playful cat i’ve ever met and I love her so much!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Don’t be afraid to overshare. I would always rather have more information than less. Any little details that can help me give the best possible service to your cat are appreciated!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I will send a message to you to confirm booking and get any additional details. I will review your information listed in the app, and reach out with any questions. If anything is complex, we can set up a call to discuss.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I take all the same precautions in a guest’s home as I would in my own. I carefully review your instructions and keep the house in the same state it was left in.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available the majority of federal holidays. I would love to watch your kitty while you are on vacation!

What is your favorite cat toy?

My cat is absolutely obsessed with her rainbow tunnel. she loves to both play and nap in it. It’s so versatile!

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

Give them space and time. It is totally normal for cats to be wary of new people. I do not rush them.

I get really nervous when I leave for trips because sometimes my kitty doesn’t interact with the people who come to watch him (which makes me sad that he is so lonely!!!). I did not have to worry about this with Maya. He warmed right up to her, and she did everything I suggested to try and get him to play. And he did! It made me feel very confident leaving him in her care. She clearly has a way with animals. She was also very communicative and easy to get in touch with if I had questions.

Awesome service. Easy process. Maya shared how my baby Fred and she were getting on- playing and joyful. Made being away for me better because I didn’t have to think of him being home alone. Because he wasn’t! He had the best substitute dad a kitten could have😊

We were so grateful to have Maya watch our two boys while we were traveling! She took great care of them, while also being very communicative to us about everything. We’ll definitely be reaching it to her in the future. Thanks again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Washington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
