I'm Samuel | Cat Sitting in Bothell, WA

Hello, lovely pet parents! My name is Sam, and I am a trained Veterinary Assistant. Additionally, I am the founder of a non-profit cat rescue organization dedicated to helping more furry friends in need. I started rescuing cats independently over a decade ago and realized that I wanted to do more in order to help these animals. Subsequently, I worked to form a board of directors and successfully created the rescue as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. In January, the rescue became officially registered, and I am currently serving as the Executive Director. As the Executive Director, I manage the daily operations of the rescue and take care of anything else that needs to be done when we don't have enough volunteers to handle it. I'm incredibly passionate about cats and have dedicated my life to caring for them. In fact, my love for cats is so strong that I've transformed my home into a haven for them. I've converted my bathroom into a kitten room, complete with cat shelves, cat trees, and all the necessary equipment to keep them healthy and happy. As a dedicated rescuer, I often take in cats that need extra care or have yet to find a foster home through our rescue. These cats stay with me until they are healthy enough to be spayed/neutered and find a new, safe place to go. It's a responsibility that I take very seriously, and I'm always willing to go the extra mile to ensure these cats receive the love and care they deserve. My passion for animal welfare often requires me to travel to the Eastside to rescue orphaned bottle-baby kittens and abandoned young cats. Additionally, I frequently need to make multiple trips to the vet to ensure that the animals under my care are spayed and neutered. As a result, it has become crucial for me to have a job that allows me to be flexible with my schedule and to provide in-home pet-sitting services. This way, I can ensure that the animals I care for receive the attention...

Learn More About Samuel

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My kitties are a troublesome trio of girls! Cinder is the old lady of the group, solid gray, at 16 years old, and gets quite "spicy" but I don't blame her for at her age, dealing with the younger ones is probably challenging! Feather is next turning seven years old soon, this tabby girl, unfortunately, had an eye ulcer causing some damage and requires daily drops for it. The youngest is Freya, a long fur torbie that is indeed half Maine Coon (and not just claiming, we know who dad is and is papered) she came into the rescue from an oops litter being the last no one wanted, somehow! She went through quarantine for Calicivirus, then three rounds of antibiotics for infections before determining this was "her" home, she chose us and we couldn't say no!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am always around during the Holidays, because of the cats in foster care with the rescue I generally cannot leave!

What is your favorite cat toy?

Go Cats "Da Bird" wand toy! It is so much fun seeing the cats run and jump after this toy, even some of the older kitties get so excited seeing this toy! My old girl gets very animated with it

Sam was GREAT, very flexible and a perfect sitter. We have one cat that needs a little extra attention for his medical issues and that wasn't a problem at all. Thank you again!

Samuel is a fantastic cat sitter and goes above and beyond! He has such an extensive background caring for cats that I felt extremely confident leaving my girls under his watch. He gave thorough daily updates and observations and kept our place extremely tidy. Our cats were so happy and relaxed when we got home - couldn’t ask for more! 😸I highly recommend Samuel for your cat sitting needs!

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

Bothell cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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.
