Learn More About Sijin

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The most rewarding aspect of cat sitting for me is building trust with every cat and witnessing a cat's transformation from guarded to trusting. Every cat has their quirks and preferences, and it's a joy to discover what connects with them. Whether it's active playtime or a quiet moment of shared companionship, those connections are truly special. It takes patience and respect for their individuality, but the moment a kitty relaxes and solicits attention, whether through playful swats or a rumbling purr, is pure magic. It's a privilege to be entrusted with their care and witness their unique personalities blossom.

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

I understand that kitties can get anxious, especially when their routines are disrupted. I strive to create a calm environment by giving your pet the space they need while ensuring that they get the best care possible: -I’ll maintain a consistent routine for feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning to minimize surprises. -I’ll respect your cat's boundaries and let them approach me on their own terms. -I'll use gentle petting, calming words, and treats to build trust.

We felt so comfortable with Sijin there to drop in and take care of our kitty. She went above and beyond to feed, play with, and care for her while we were gone. She also shared a ton of great pictures! The perfect sitter for our cat.

Sijin was such an amazing help to us! she was super attentive and timely and sent tons of beautiful photos of our boys. We were especially glad to see that she got into plenty of play with the kitties - something I was worried about during the shorter visits we booked with her. We would definitely book her again!

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.
