I would definitely leave my cat with Ernesto again! He was responsive, sent photos every day, and was able to get my very shy cat to come out and cuddle!

Ernesto did a fantastic job of looking after our two cats. This was our second time having him take care of our two cats and I wouldn't hesitate to ask him back.

Ernesto is so great to work with! Super responsive, flexible and trustworthy. He helped me with my cat who just recently started a new medicine regimen and put my mind at ease — he even had prior knowledge about the medicine my cat needed! And, his photos and updates were always fun and kind.

Highly recommend working with Ernesto! it was my first time using an app-sitter for my cat, Mia. Ernesto was super helpful giving recommendations as I navigated the options. He was incredibly responsive, shared regular updates, and ultimately Mia loved him! It made going away so much easier knowing she was in great hands. Thank you!!!

Ernesto took excellent care of my cat, who needed to have both pills and eye drops. Communication was excellent, and the whole process was super smooth. Would definitely book him again and recommend him to everyone

Ernesto was an excellent cat sitter. He kindly agreed to watch our two cats after our other cat sitter cancelled at the last minute. He was flexible, understanding and very professional. He did a great job with the kitties, going above and beyond what we asked him to do. Highly recommend.

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.
