Learn More About Rachel

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Since I don’t have my own cat anymore, I’ve come to really appreciate the unique presence of each cat I care for. What I love most is how each cat is different, yet they all share that same independent spirit and need for companionship in their own way.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When working with a new cat parent, I start by getting key details about their cat’s routine, likes, and any special needs. I’ll often propose a video call or meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is comfortable. During the visits, I send updates so the parent knows their cat (and home) is well cared for. My goal is always to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the cat and their owner.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Feather wands seem to work as a trick on every cat I’ve sat for! It’s a great way to engage them, and it’s fun to watch their natural instincts kick in!

Rachel is such a lovely person. She has years of experience with cats of all ages, and has cat-sit for me on numerous occasions. She has been amazing with my little fur baby for the past 5 years and goes above and beyond to make sure our cat is loved and cared for.

Rachel is comfortable with different personalities - both introverted and extroverted cats as well as more challenging animals. She has a calm demeanor and her ability to keep her cool instantly deescalates any stressful situation. I have seen Rachel provide attentive care to elderly cats with more complex needs. I've also seen her juggle a three cat household, ensuring each of the cats received proper attention, food, and care in a full cat household! I would always trust Rachel with my pets and my home.

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 $25.00. 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.
