I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat dad to my boy, Pachi. He’s one of a kind!
When I’m not with him, I spend my free time volunteering at Meow Maison Cat Café in DC, where I’ve gained lots of hands on experience caring for cats with different needs and personalities.
I’m patient and gentle, and I always let cats set the pace so they feel safe and comfortable. Over the past year, I’ve been cat sitting and love building trust with each new furry friend. I’d be happy to care for your cat or cats with the same love and attention.😺
Learn More About Phanith
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I really enjoy being able to provide comfort and consistency for cats while their owners are away. It’s rewarding to know that I can help them feel safe and cared for in their own environment, and give pet parents peace of mind at the same time.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes. Me and my partner have a cat and his name is Pachi. He’s about two and he loves it when we take him on walks. Living and spending time with him has given me a lot of experience understanding cat behavior and making sure he’s loved and comfortable.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I always make sure the home is secure by double-checking doors and windows during every visit. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, and safety (like keeping indoor-only cats inside). I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners know their cats are safe and happy.

Phanith was wonderful with my shy Lola! He was able to coax her out of hiding and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable.

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 $26.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
