Learn More About Nakia

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cat sitting is so enjoyable because I love the energy that I get from cats. The purring especially makes me happy.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two beautiful cats! One is a black female named Summon, and the other is a male tabby named Ashworth. They’re best buds and are very affectionate.

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

I specialize in timid cats! The trick is to be patient with them. They will eventually come around if you let it happen organically.

Nakia did a great job caring for Evie and Elton. Evie often hides from cat sitters but she was comfortable with Nakia from the get go. Nakia also shared great photos from each visit that left me feeling assured that they were happy and healthy until we got home.

Nakia has been my trusted cat sitter for the past five years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is dependable, compassionate, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure my pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for. My cat, Ms. Q-Tip, absolutely adores her, and I’ve always been impressed with Nakia’s ability to notice small changes in behavior and respond with care and professionalism. On more than one occasion, she has caught early signs of discomfort and contacted me right away, giving me peace of mind that my pet is in excellent hands. What sets Nakia apart is her combination of warmth and reliability. She communicates clearly and is always punctual. I feel completely at ease leaving my pet in her care, even during extended absences, knowing that she will provide not only the essentials but also genuine affection and attention. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, professional, and deeply committed to animal well-being, Nakia is truly outstanding. I am grateful for the care she has provided over the years and would recommend her to any pet owner without hesitation.

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.
