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. I try to care for every cat as if it were my own and hope that gives their parents some peace of mind while traveling.

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 provided truly top notch care for my kitties while I was away! Great communication and pictures as always. One cat had a major cystitis flare for the first time in years (of course) and when I reached out to Carol, she gave my cat her meds easily, took great care of her, and provided detailed updates. It was a relief after the unexpected stress of that flare!

As always , Carol provided notch care for our two boys. One of our cats had an emergency room visit the night before our departure and Carol monitored and cared for him and even took him back to the emergency room when symptoms worsened. The entire time, she kept us informed on his situation. We have nothing but praise and gratitude for her help.

Carol sent me a variety of pix showing my cats in action or relaxing during my absence which is reassuring that "all's well" at home. She took good care of all of my cats' needs while I was gone!

Carol was wonderful!! She was conscientious, thoughtful, and meticulous. Her extra effort to water plants, pick up the paper, send photos and reports, etc was greatly appreciated. She was very loving with my kitty and took time to play with him. She is a gem!!

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 $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 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!
