we have booked with tamara so many times over the years, and we know tamara loves our cats just as much as we do. she treats them as her own. she consistently provides updates, pictures, and always goes above and beyond. I would recommend Tamara’s services to any cat owner. she is the best!

I just moved to the city and never had any experience with this app or cat sitters in general. I usually had only my most trusted friends feed my cat when I was away. I knew when I got the new city I was going to dread the thought of going away for work and having a stranger watch the cat. eventually that day came when I got a last minute call to work out of town for a few days. after poking around on Reddit I heard of Meowtel and gave it a shot since I really had no other choice. Tamara was one of the available sitters and I reached out. After a brief call, to get her vibe and explain my situation I booked her immediately. she was very professional and kind on the phone. the next morning I left and it was all in her hands from there. on that phone call she reassured me that she will take good care of my cat and I wouldn’t have to worry…and let me just say she was right! my cat is a very shy / scared and after the first meeting Tamara was petting her! what a cat-whisperer she is! Tamara was super communicative and sent texts when she entered the house and when she left. she also sent numerous photos and vids every visit! I can’t tell you how much those little photos and videos eased my mind while away. eventually she even got my cat to play and purr! (I’m telling you this is rare for my cat to do with strangers) literally everything about Tamara was amazing and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future! if you’re on the fence about this app or Tamara in general, trust me and go for it! Tamara is the best!

Tamara is an amazing cat sitter. This is our second time working with her and she has continued to exceed all of our expectations. Before her we always worried about our precious cats while we were away, but no more. The peace of mind she provides us with is incredible, and perhaps most importantly, our kitties love her!

Everything was great! I loved Tamara’s quick response, my trip got extended by a couple days and we were really stressing out about our Boiis - Tamara was kind and was great comunicating and made everything so easy for us and our Boiis.. I highly recommend her! I’m a future customer for sure. thank you so much, truly 🙏🏽

Tamara was fantastic and shared plenty of photos and videos daily. She provided lots of details on how the cats were doing and if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. She sent messages when she arrived and left. I felt very comfortable with my kitties in her care.

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 $28.00. 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.
