Deanna was amazing! She very graciously was patient with me while I was spacey around travel time and kept me updated on how my cat was doing. Plus my cat immediately loved her from the moment they met, because cats know good people.

Deanna was exceptional! She offered to meet the cats before her scheduled session, which was extremely helpful and brought ease of mind. I really appreciated that extra touch! She was communicative, responsive, and always sent pictures. She provided daily updates as well. I have a small calico cat who can sometimes be shy…but not with Deanna! She was purring like crazy with Deanna around. I felt confident she was taking great care of my four llegged companions and could enjoy my time away from them with worrying about their well being. I would HIGHLY recommend Deanna to anyone who needs a cat sitter!

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 $27.00. 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!
