I'm Jessie | Cat Sitting in Bellevue, WA

Hello! My name is Jessie and I recently moved to the Seattle area (Bellevue!) with my spouse and two cats, Dora and Makita. I am excited to meet other cat people and their kitties! Before moving to Washington, we lived overseas for work and moved every two to three years living in Pristina, Kosovo; Tokyo, Japan; and Lagos, Nigeria. Through these moves, Dora and Makita accompanied us to every location and after 12 different flights, they still don’t like traveling, but they are very resilient felines and it has been quite the experience to travel with them. Dora and Makita are tortoiseshell sisters from the same litter with very different personalities! Makita was the runt of the litter but you’d never know it now with her 12 pounds of fluffy attitude! Dora has always been a very curious kitty and though she’s shy around new people, she is super playful and cuddly when she gets to know you! They are both excellent hunters and love to play with toy mice and nerf balls. Though Dora and Makita are my first indoor ...

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have experienced both sides of cat sitting -- I've been both a client and a cat sitter. I've hired cat sitters for my two cats since 2014 so my spouse and I could travel without anxiety. Before the pandemic, I exchanged cat sitting services with several coworkers so they could travel with ease. One kitty I cared for was a senior fella with very specific litter, dietary, and medication needs. I started cat sitting with Meowtel in December 2023.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I have always loved cats, and being a cat sitter means I get to meet amazing kitties and their cat-loving humans! It makes my heart happy to win over shy kitties and learn about the funny quirks each cat has.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two 10-year-old tortoiseshell kitties, Dora and Makita. They are sisters from the same litter born on my parents' farm. Their mother and one of their brothers still lives at my parents' farm and they love seeing me when I visit! Dora and Makita have traveled across the globe with me, from their birthplace in Missouri, to Nigeria, Japan, Kosovo, and now Washington. They still act like kittens when they play, but are just as happy to be snuggly lap cats too!

Jessie was AMAZING! She took such excellent care of my two cats. She takes the best pictures and her daily updates were very detailed and something I looked forward to every day. She was also willing to water my flowering baskets (well outside cat care responsibilities!). She even left a gift for my kitties on the last day. I returned after 10 days of being away to relaxed and happy cats which was so important to me when I couldn't be home myself. Thank you Jessie!

Loved this service and working with Jessie! Jessie is very responsive and did her best to accommodate us through a trip date change. She took plenty of photos to let us know are cat was safe and happy and left a very detailed message on her general well being such as mood, what she had eaten, etc. We were just using Meowtel for a shorter trip to try it out and had one visit. Jessie was awesome to work with and I am very happy with Meowtel. Already booked my next longer trip with her. Thanks Jessie and Meowtel!

Jessie is a purrfect cat sitter. We got a new baby kitten, and were introducing him to his big cat sister who is 2 years old. Jesse cam in to help while i worked for the first week. I gave me such peace of mind to know that my babies were in the hands of a professional. Jesse was always on time, took lots of gorgeous pictures of my fur babies, and gave me detailed information that was helpful in helping these two cats bond. I highly recommend Jesse for any cat sit job.

I recently had Jessie take care of my two cats for a week while I was away, and she did an outstanding job. Jessie was reliable, attentive, and showed genuine care for my pets. She kept me updated with daily messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. When I returned, both cats were happy and well-fed, and the house was tidy. I highly recommend Jessie to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
