Learn More About Carly

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

I have been catsitting with Meowtel for over year, and informally for friends for years prior, and have served clients with an assortment of cat personalities, needs, and routines. From anxious to timid to energetic, I have seen it all!

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

If you book with me, I’ll first arrange a meet and greet with you, where I stop by to meet you and your kitties. Especially for shy cats, having an introduction and letting them know my scent while you are still around to make them feel safe is so important. I’ll have you show me where their things like food, water, and litter are kept, and also their favorite toys and regular hiding spots. I’ll get any keys or access codes from you for my visits later. It’s also a chance for you to ask me any questions, so you feel confident leaving your cats in my care!

Carly was excellent! I had a very last minute trip and Carly was excellent with my cat Cokie and following all of my written instructions. Absolutely recommend.

Carly makes it possible for me to leave town and not worry about our nutty cats. So very thankful to have her.

Carly is truly a gift, unflappably taking on pill duty at the last minute, taking great care of our challenging cats and easing my many worries. Extra props for braving ridiculous weather and snow to keep the kids fed and entertained. This was our fourth time with Carly, and we always return to find the house in great shape. Can’t recommend her highly enough.

Carly is wonderful!! I have a (very) shy cat, and he warmed up to Carly immediately. I could tell that he enjoyed his time with her, which allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. I definitely recommend Carly!

This was our second time with Carly and she’s been terrific both times. She’s great at dealing with the quirks of our cats and keeping them fed and entertained. The house is always clean and in order and we are very thankful to have her.

reservations with Carly were easy and fast. she was responsive and didn’t show any hesitations in our instructions. I felt very much at ease with leaving our cat in her care for the weekend. she provided photos and updates and went above and beyond for us when she left. We will look for her again when we need another weekend sitter.

Carly was very patient with my initially-shy cat, and I could tell from the thorough updates that my cat really liked her. She also responded very quickly during the booking and was helpful for a first-time Meowtel user. Would definitely recommend booking with Carly!

Carly is hands down the BEST cat sitter we have ever had! I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. Carly understands how important it is to trust the person watching your animals so she goes above and beyond in every single way. She came to meet the cats before even watching them - which was so appreciated. Her updates are always timely and details and her pictures are great! We’ve used Carly on three separate occasions and every time is great. We will always use her for cat sitting and trust her wholeheartedly. Our cats love when Carly visits. She plays with their favorite toys, always gives them all the attention and love, and even managed to get snuggles from our little, shy cat. She has won over both our cats and us!

Carly did a fantastic job with my shy and difficult cat! She's something of a cat whisperer. Having peace of mind while on vacation was a wonderful change of pace. Will definitely use Carly again in the future!

Carly did a great job with our scared kitty. Our cat will typically hide until new people leave, but Carly was able to get her to come out and eat around her.

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 $27.00. 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.
