Hi, I’m Tirzah, a lifelong cat lover dedicated to making sure your feline friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
My own cat, Juno, is 15 years old and has taught me so much about patience and the unique personalities cats bring to our lives. She enjoys long naps, chin scratches, and taking short walks at mealtime. She’s even inspired me to knit cozy cat hats in my spare time.
I’m happy to pop over to your place to ensure your kitty is well-fed, has fresh water, a clean litter box, and plenty of care and attention. Whether your cat prefers quiet companionship or active play, I will always respect their routine and comfort. You can feel confident knowing your cat is in caring, reliable hands.
Learn More About Tirzah
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Juno is 15 years old. She’s a sleepy kitty who makes herself known at mealtime. She’s also an excellent mouser!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I start by discussing your cat’s routine, health needs, and personality. I schedule a meet and greet to learn your cat’s preferences, review feeding and care instructions, and answer any questions you have.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I ensure the safety and security of the cats and the home by double-checking that all doors and windows are locked after each visit. I keep your keys secure and never share entry information. I closely monitor your cats well-being, making sure they stay indoors and away from hazards. I follow all care instructions precisely, including special safety measures you request. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat and home are cared for while you are away.

Tirzah was an excellent cat sitter. She was on time for our pre-meeting. She has cats herself so that made me very comfortable in leaving my cats in her care. She checked in daily, sent pics daily, and was very responsive to my questions while we were away. Prior to departing, I added a day to the reservation and she was super flexible with that. All communication was through the meow tel - it worked perfectly. I will look to hire her again.

Thank you, Tirzah, for keeping my old boy (15 years old) company while we were gone for the week. I could tell from your daily pictures that he was well cared for and I loved seeing the pictures of him waiting at the top of the stairs for you! Clearly, he was excited about his new friend! I would recommend Tirzah for any cat parents looking for a loving caretaker for their pet.

Tirzah was the best sitter for Pawl! She send daily recap messages and photos, ensured Pawl was fed and played with, and cleaned his litter box when needed. She was attentive, communicative, caring, and a trusted sitter from the start. We will definitely book her again for our next trip away. You should too!

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 $28.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!

Tirzah did a great job of taking care of my cat Benson while I was out of town. She followed all directions, was very communicative, and sent great pictures! When I got home, I could tell my little guy had received excellent care and attention. I'd absolutely have her watch him again.

Tirzah is an animal-loving mom of three who is conscientious, reliable, and communicative. She excels at juggling multiple priorities with grace and always does it with a smile. Her warmth and attentiveness make her especially well-suited to care for animals, and she understands how important it is to keep pets feeling comfortable and secure while their people are away. In fact, Tirzah’s can-do spirit and focus go all the way back to when she was a ball girl for the Nationals! That's proof that she’s not only energetic and dependable but also great under pressure. She’s the kind of person who notices the little things, whether that means taking the time to play with a shy cat or providing regular updates and photos to the pet owners. I have every confidence that any cat in her care will be safe, happy, and well loved, just as her own cat Juno is!
