I'm a dependable and caring cat sitter who understands that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I'll provide the care and attention they need while you're away. I offer reliable visits that include feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddles (if your cat enjoys them), and regular updates with photos for your peace of mind. My goal is to keep your cat happy, comfortable, and safe in their own home. Also, I have two cats of my own that I love dearly.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat's unique personality. Some are playful and curious, while others are quiet and affectionate, and I love earning their trust and making them feel comfortable while their family is away. It's rewarding to know I'm helping keep cats happy, relaxed, and cared for in the place where they feel safest—their own home. I also enjoy giving pet owners peace of mind by providing dependable care and regular updates.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats , Alvin and sweet pea. I understand their daily routines, behaviors, and the love and attention they need."

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toys are interactive wand toys with feathers or ribbons because they encourage cats to chase, jump, and play while providing great exercise and mental stimulation. I also enjoy using laser pointers in moderation and tossing soft balls or toy mice for cats that love to pounce. I always choose toys based on each cat's personality and play style to make sure they have fun and stay engaged.

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!
