In addition to owning cats and dogs my whole life, I volunteer with a local rescue and have supported cats with a variety of medical needs: Pills, eye drops, sub q fluids, diabetes management, a whole range of things!
When visiting with new cats, I keep things on their terms (and yours) when it comes to activity, engagement, and photo ops. I own a car and work from home a few days each week so can be flexible in the timing of visits with your cat(s). I’m always happy to water plants and check mail too.
In addition to currently fostering cats and having a cat of my own, I also have a dog.
Learn More About Andrew
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Binx (recently passed) was a 15 year old black domestic short hair and Cosmic Creepers is a 2 year old calico who lives up to every crazy calico stereotype. I also have a 5 year old Bassett hound named Jessie.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I hate holiday travel so I’m generally in the area most major holidays and happy to give you peace of mind by checking in on your cats.
What is your favorite cat toy?
The plastic circle one that has a ball on a track around the outside and a scratch pad on the inside. I’ve never met a cat of any age that’s not loved that one.

Andrew made the entire booking process easy and efficient. He was very gentle with greeting our cats the first time, and they loved him right away. During the visit, he sent us pictures that caught some cute moments of them, which helped me a lot because I personally miss them during trips! He was also able to administer the inhaler without issue. I have a lot of confidence in Andrew to keep our pets happy in the future.

Andrew kept my cats comfortable and happy during my travel, and I am very grateful to him! The pictures he sent me kept me from missing my cats too much, though I was very glad to come back to them. They were happy to see me, but I could see that they had been well cared for in my absence.

Andrew gave us such peace of mind when we were out of town over Memorial Day Weekend. He took wonderful care of our three cats, meeting both the playful two and scaredy cat one on their levels. We really appreciated all of the updates and photos he shared, and he never hesitated to ask questions. We look forward to working with Andrew again next time we’re out of town!

Andrew is a wonderful cat sitter. It was simple to schedule a meet-and-greet with him and he asked all the right questions. While I was away, Andrew sent messages and photos during each visit and he followed all the instructions we discussed. When I arrived home, my cat was happy and everything was in order.

Andrew is awesome!! I had to leave town immediately for a family emergency and was in a real bind for cat-care. Andrew saved the day! He was so responsive and flexible. He sent detailed, daily updates and even offered to water my plants. Additionally - and this is big – he coaxed out my super-shy calico for a pet and a pic. Incredible! His professionalism and attentiveness gave me complete peace of mind.

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 $28.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!

Andrew is an amazing sitter who did a great job watching our two very different cats. He went out of his way to make sure our shy cat didn’t miss out on her dinner despite our more friendly cat’s attempts at helping herself to more. So grateful to have booked Andrew while we were away!

Andrew is a respectful, detail-oriented, responsible cat sitter, who thinks ahead and asks important questions. He is always in good communication re: the pets and anything else that might come up during the cat sit. He is trustworthy and has enough pet and cat experience to make emergency decisions if necessary. He truly loves animals and caring well for them is a priority.
