Learn More About Emily

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new kitties. I have been called an animal-whisperer before, and it seems that most animals like me and open up to me upon first meeting. I love seeing my cat-whispering skills in action when I am cat sitting - I most enjoy just hanging out, playing, and giving love to cats!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Don't hesitate to send a message with questions before booking anyone! Whether it's questions about the cat sitter themselves, their cat-sitting style, or even asking for references, it's always valuable to reach out and ensure that you are comfortable with the person coming to take care of your cat/s.

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

I always make it known to them that I am there by seeking them out - even if they're hiding under a bed, I'll go say hi just so they know that I'm in the house, but I won't bother them or make them come out from their hiding place. I might play with a toy near them or stretch my hand to be smelled, but I am never forceful - I know and respect that cats need their own space!

I was out for almost a week and she kept me up to date on everything going on sending lots of information, updates, and pictures. my kitties were so well taken care of and looked so happy when I got home. She was above and beyond wonderful.

Emily did a fantastic job caring for my two kitties while my husband and I escaped for some much needed vacation time last week. I am always a little nervous about leaving the fur babies but after meeting Emily, I knew they would be in excellent hands. And they were ! She takes her job seriously, is a true animal lover and has great attention to detail. She kept in contact with me at each visit, sent pictures and updated info. I could relax and they were happy, contented kitties when we returned. We look forward to having her care for them on our next trip. Great job, Emily !

Emily was an excellent communicator while I was away. She sent me daily updates on my cat Toby and ensured that he was well taken care of and well loved. I’m sure that he did not even realize that I was gone! If I had to leave for a trip again, I would 100% contact Emily again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Washington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
