I am a retired bookstore owner and life-long cat lover, eager to meet and care for your cats! Giving cats their much-needed playtime, lap time and brushing time (if tolerated) is my specialty, and I will do my best to make your cats comfortable and keep them entertained.

In addition to feeding and replenishing water, my services include:
• Cleaning and changing litter boxes (daily scooping)
• Daily communication and cute photos of your cats’ activities
• Playing, brushing and loving
• Administering pills, insulin shots, ear drops, flea and hairball medications
• Cleaning any cat-related messes
• Bringing in mail and packages
• Watering plants

Our feline companion of eight years is George. He is long-haired, with Siamese markings and blue eyes, and is very sweet natured. We call him our gentle giant due to his size. He requires daily medication, so I have a lot of experience administering pills.

Thank you for considering me to care for your cats.

Learn More About Carol

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

I've been cat sitting professionally for 3 years and in that time I've met some wonderful humans and some amazing cats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most are the cats! They are fascinating and loving, and they make me laugh every day.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Other than cat sitting, I have no other regular constraints on my time. We usually do not travel during holidays.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I usually give shy cats their space. If they are hiding, I will try to coax them out, but if it's not working, I let them be. In most cases the cat will come to me out of curiosity, or because they want to play with the shoelace or cat dancer that I carry with me.

Carol is our go-to for taking care of our 2 cats while we're on vacation. She takes care of minor home maintenance in addition to our cats. We use her often enough that our cats have gotten quite used to her and greet her at the door when she arrives. We had made a mistake on our reservation missing a visit for our cats, but Carol was able to help us with that last minute need to cover the missing day in addition to the original reservation. We are so grateful to Carol. Thank you so much!

Carol did a last minute visit after we realized we hadn't properly set the dates on our reservation. We are so grateful she was able to visit that night and make sure our cats got their meal!

Our experience with Carol was magnificent! After the initially meeting the cats we knew it was going to be great. Carol was meticulous in her inquiries and took thorough notes on the two personalities we call Stella and Luna. We were absolutely comfortable with her from the moment she sat down. We chose Carol based on her proximity and reviews. It was a no brainer. From the very first day the girls were taken care of as if they were hers. She took care of everything and provided daily feedback on their habits and patterns. This was a big deal to them because we hadn't been away for two weeks ever. We looked forward to the updates with details, photos and videos of the cats being so well cared for. Our cats are particular about different things like feeding, petting and playing. Carol was adaptive to the idiosyncrasies of the two girls. Carol was the best caregiver we could hope for. Your fur babies deserve Carol's love.

And again Carol was spectacular. She was able to accommodate our length of travel schedule and took care of the girls. Carol has been great with communication, a consistent schedule and taking the time to understand the idiosyncrasies of our two cats. We praise Carol for the detailed visits. We enjoyed the multi media she shared with us. If you are in the Edmonds area, we strongly recommend her.

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.

Edmonds cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
