Learn More About Carla

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I own two cats and I have plenty of experience taking care of them, playing with them and giving them meds when and if necessary.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Playing with the cats. Cats are wonderful companions and each have their own quirky personalities.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I once took care of a cat named Gaudí, he was such a sweet boy, loved to be held and cuddled. I'm aware not all kitties like that, but he was a favorite for sure. He liked being held because he grew up in a household with children.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! Freddie Purrcury and Joey Cattiani, but they usually just go by Freddie and Joey.

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

Feel out the person. Not everyone is a good match. If the person makes you feel comfortable and your kittie has a good reaction to the sitter, that's a good sign. That, and reviews from past clients are always a plus of course.

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

I give them their space and make sure they get used to my voice. Getting close to a cat always has to be on their terms.

Carla is smart and kind and was an awesome cat sitter 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 for my fur kids! She was sure to tell me at each visit that they were fed, watered & scooped. She played and snuggled and watched some mewvies with them, which they loved! Thanks Carla!

Carla was fantastic, I would give 10 stars if I could! This was my first time leaving my cat for an extended period of time and using Meowtel, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. My cat is a little shy and we weren’t sure how she was going to react to a new person, but she loved Carla and warmed up to her right away! Carla sent me a daily update with multiple pictures and videos, and always responded quickly if I asked a question. It is very clear she knows what she is doing and loves cats so I felt at complete ease knowing my cat was in her care :) Thank you Carla!!

Carla was an amazing pet sitter. My cat needed eyedrops twice a day in the morning and at night. She was able to administer the drops, make sure he was fed, litter box was kept clean, and she always provided ample videos and pictures. She even asked if it was ok to lift the blinds so he could get some sunlight. I will certainly hire her again

Carla was super sweet with my cat who is hesitant about getting to know new people. We only had her stop by for two days. She kept the place clean and tidy. Kitty was fed and loved. Thank you!

Carla was really lovely – she was very flexible with me as I was sort of bumbling through my travel plans, and she sent me great adorable pictures of my cat so I knew he was OK while I was gone and just generally kept me in the know about things so I didn’t have to worry and could just enjoy my trip. I would happily hire her again and definitely recommend her as a good choice for anyone looking for someone who not only treats the cat well but is considerate to you, too.

Carla is an awesome cat sitter. She followed my rather lengthy feeding instructions (my cat Charlie is picky), kept the electric water fountain topped up, scooped his litter boxes (he has two - he's persnickety), gave him pets, and sent me photos and videos. She also reported on his litter box doings. Since Charlie has kidney issues, it's important that he doesn't go more than one day without peeing. This is way to much detail for the squeamish (!), but it demonstrates that Carla is a top notch cat sitter. I highly recommend her.

Carla was very responsive and trustworthy from the moment I messaged her on the app, through the entire *super easy* process. We set up a meeting before my reservation, so my cats and I could meet Carla and make sure she was a good fit! Carla was very sweet and offered to collect my mail while I was away. Carla sent daily updates including pictures and videos of my beloved kitties, who I was missing dearly! I found comfort in knowing Carla was there to give them head scratches and make sure their tummies stayed full 😊. I am so glad I discovered the app and will definitely be using again! Carla is a wonderful sitter. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Washington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
