We're new to the area and were very nervous selecting a cat sitter from an app. But our concerns were quickly allayed. Kelly did an awesome job with our kitty! We were traveling internationally for a week and never had a concern about how our cat was being cared for because Kelly was very communicative about every daily visit. She provided details on her activities and our cat's behavior, complete with pictures and even short videos. She responded quickly and thoroughly to every message prior to our trip, as well as during. I would wholeheartedly recommend without hesitation Kelly for your catsitting needs!

Kelly was a wonderful cat sitter during our two-week vacation! Our shy kitty went from hiding under the bed the first day that Kelly visited to greeting her at the door and cuddling with her. She was quick to respond to messages and sent photos and videos every day. highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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!

this was my first time leaving my cat for an extended period of time so I was rather nervous, but once she was in the care of Kelly every fear I have was alleviated! Kelly is amazing — she took such good care of Charlotte and she sent regular updates. You could tell Charlotte LOVED her. I’ll definitely be using Kelly any time I go away!

Kelly was amazing. This was my first time hiring a sitter and not only was i nervous about essentially a stranger in my home but also one that would be caring for my two boys. Kelly was so chill and professional and really eased my worry from the moment we met. She was great with both my cats, each having their own personalities. She even cleaned behind my eldest cat who is currently sick. Kelly gave detailed updates and photos. She is also very quick with responses. I highly recommend!!!

Kelly was a lifesaver the past couple of weeks. She was flexible and quick to respond when my travel plans changed multiple times, and she fielded some extra requests while I was away longer than planned. It's always great to get her updates and know all is well at home when I'm traveling.

This was my first time using Meowtel as I was in need of a cat sitter last minute after my usual sitter was unavailable. I decided to book with Kelly and I’m so glad I did!! She was the perfect person for the job and eased my nerves from beginning to end. She was very communicative and professional and sent detailed updates and pictures each visit which was so appreciated. I highly recommend her for any cat sitting jobs and will be rebooking her in the future!
