Lauren was very kind, flexible, and communicative! One of cats is timid around new people, but Lauren was calm and earned his trust very quickly, and they become good buddies! Our travel plans shifted last minute, and Lauren was able to care for the our kitties for extended time with pictures during each visits, which gave us peace of mind that our kitties were in good care during our time away. We highly recommend Lauren as cat sitter that goes above and beyond!

Lauren was very good! My cats are "sensitive" so the fact she took extra care and got Sherman (an FIV-positive dumped cat that joined my feral colony at railroad tracks before I found places for all) to let her brush him was great! Gladys (feral now living with me) tolerated her, which is also pretty great:)

Lauren connected well with my two cats, Elise and Sylvie. Sylvie was adopted less than a year ago and is normally wary of new people but Lauren made friends with her quickly. Lauren also deftly handled Elise's complex feeding and medication schedule, no small feat as Elise hates taking medicine. She kept us updated with pictures and videos to let us know that the cats were in good hands.

Our cat, Ulan, warmed up to Lauren right away! We had Lauren pop by for a quick check in everyday while we were away. She sent plenty of photos and kept our apartment clean. We would rebook her in the future! Thanks so much!

Lauren was an amazing sitter for my 4 year old tuxedo! She communicates promptly, sends detailed updates, and left my cat super happy during my 3-day trip. She's also super friendly and sweet. I'd love to have Lauren cat sit for me any time :)

Highly recommend Lauren! :) I've booked Lauren twice now to help care for my tuxie while I travel out of town for several days, and she has always left him so happy and calm. She sends lots of cute photos and detailed updates, responds super quickly, and knows just how to care for my cat. She was also super patient with some scheduling blips on my end.

Lauren was an amazing pet sitter when my husband and I left town for a few days. She took excellent care of my little guy Benson and sent the best pictures and videos each time she dropped in to see him. I could tell he was happy and well cared for when we got home. Would absolutely book her again next time we go out of town!

Lauren was terrific looking after our girl. It's obvious as soon as we walk in the door that Lauren has babied her!

Lauren is the most reliable, trusted, and loveable cat sitter! Incredibly detailed-oriented, positive, and professional, I have so much respect for Lauren’s passion to care for cats and their overall wellbeing. I feel so at ease when I have to leave my cat, knowing he is so taken care of - I don’t know what I would do without 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 $26.00. 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.
