**Returning clients feel free to reach out even if I appear unavailable on the calendar **Eastside Cat Sitter - Seattle is outside my service area I have been a cat, dog and farm sitter since a very young age. My love for animals started with my rescue kitten. After that, I worked in a small animal vet which led to working with all types of animals and finally graduating with a B.S. in Zoology. For many years after college, I worked as a veterinary tech in both small and large veterinarian hospitals and was a volunteer at PAWS wildlife rehabilitation center. While I had a career pivot, I have always stayed connected to animals with cat ownership & rescues as well as cat, farm sitting and horse training. Over the past 22+ years I have always had a rescue or foster cats in my home. My current ki...
Julie's Reviews
Mihaela
Julie did an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats! We recently adopted them and they have been very shy and slow to adjust to our new home. This made us extra nervous to have to go out of town and leave them with a cat sitter for the first time. From the moment we met Julie, we knew she would be wonderful at taking care of them. She was very responsive, and sent great photos with each visit, along with a detailed note about how they were adjusting. We felt at ease on our trip knowing they were so well taken care of. We would absolutely book Julie again!

Our boys love having Julie over! Though they hide most of the time, they are a lot more calm when we return and we know they were taken care of well. We enjoy the photo updates and hearing updates about what they’ve been getting into while we are out!

Our usual cat sitter was unavailable during the dates we needed, so was in a bit of a bind to find someone. I stumbled upon Meowtel after some online searches and was a bit apprehensive because previously we've always used close friend referrals to watch our two cats, Brio and Stormy. This would be the first time they'd be fully "home alone" for more than a few days since before Covid lock-downs. I read through several possible cat-sitters on Meowtel, and Julie had, by far, the most reviews and the highest ratings from the ones I was looking through. She was also able to do 2x per day visits, one morning and evening, which was not possible with another cat sitter we were considering. Super happy with choosing Julie, and could not be happier with the results. Came home after one week to very happy kitties and they did not seem at all traumatized by us being gone, compared to previous returns in the past (before Covid). Julie arranged a pre-meet to meet Brio and Stormy and pick up the house key. The cats immediately took to her calm and friendly personality. Typically shy Stormy was asking for pets and Brio was circling her like a little shark. I left detailed instructions, which were followed amazingly well. We had unexpected high temperatures for a few days and Julie helped keep the house cool by managing the windows and blinds and the fans. She also suggested a food puzzle, so I picked one up before we left and the cats were in heaven. She filled it up at each visit and Brio and Stormy were kept busy for a bit of time trying to find all the treats. Julie sent a variety of fun pictures of Brio and Stormy during each visit, and I could tell they were having a blast and well cared for. Julie definitely focuses on fun, activity and attention when she visits, which is exactly what Brio and Stormy needed. Julie also took care of both litter boxes and the occasional cat puke. Julie is very much a professional cat sitter and asked about medications, interesting/unusual behaviors and asked that the cat carriers be in a known location for her visits. It gave us a lot of peace of mind to know that she was prepared for a "worse case" scenario should it arise. The biggest evidence of a job well done was how Brio and Stormy acted when we returned from our trip. We could clearly see that they were not stressed or anxious at all, which was not the case on previous extended returns. Julie managed to keep a healthy routine for them, with enough attention and focus on movement and fun that the Brio and Stormy adjusted wonderfully. We will definitely use Julie again for any future cat sitting needs and highly recommend her for your cat(s) as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bellevue cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
