I'm Bea | Cat Sitting in Issaquah, WA

Hey I’m Bea (bee)! I have had cats in my life. As a kid I used to help wrangle the feral barn/farm cats to get them vet care, so I’m certain I can get your cat out from under the bed in case of emergency. I had a cat (her name was Shine) that gave me all the experience I have now. She was my best friend from age 8 to 26, and in our time together I helped her give birth, work through eye infections and tooth removals and she had kidney failure at the end of her life so we also did subcutaneous fluid injections. I’m comfortable with nearly any kind of medical at home care your cat may need, even if they’re a little resistant. I’m calm in emergencies and I’m great with routines for cats that are comfy the way things are. Shine was also one of those adventurous cats that liked to be walked on a leash, so I understand concerns with safety if your cat needs outside time. I currently have a 7 year old diabetic foster cat. While she was slow to warm up, we’ve become so close ...

Learn More About Bea

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I’m open to any and all questions, and I am quick to respond back, this I find alleviates a lot of unnecessary stress when it comes to finding reliable care. I like to hear from the owner how they’ve learned different behavior in their cat, how they can tell what mood the cat is in, this helps me identify unusual behavior in the moment and keep the cat safer. As well as their routines. I schedule in person consultations before pet sitting to make sure I’m a good match and build that relationship so you can have faith in the person you’re having care for your cat(s). I set clearly defined expectations for duration of care, emergency response, care for the cat, how to enter and exit the home, how to maintain the house if I’m staying the night, desired means of communication (daily photos/video calls) and litter box expectations.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Having had a cat for 16 years and cared for her in late age there are signs you learn to look for when things are wrong. I’m familiar with lots of different kinds of pests/problems cats might catch while away, including confident identification of ringworm, tapeworm, fleas, ticks, botflies, and general signs of discomfort in animals. I am attentive to eating and behavioral habits, even though cats like to hide when they’re upset/injured I’m still perceptive to changes in behavior since I’ll generally ask what’s normal and abnormal for your pet when meeting them. I’m also great with making sure doors are locked, and I’ve always been able to get a cat in a carrier when it’s necessary no matter the size of the cat or the circumstances.

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

I’m not the type of person that believes every cat had to like me. If your cat doesn’t want to be around new people, I won’t force the cat to hang out with me. But I will certainly be slow and respectful with any engagement the cat consents to if they approach me. Cats know when you’re trying too hard, so letting them set the pace has always been the better choice in my history of getting to know cats. I’m also a quiet hobby enjoyer, reading and crocheting, and that comes off much more calming for cats than if I were into action movies/videos on my phone if I’m staying in their area for a while. I’m a low and slow, quiet and chill kind of person, and I haven’t had issues with cats being at least neutral to that.

Beas commitment to making my cars comfortable while I am gone and reducing their stress is incredible! She sticks to routines in the house, and her demeanour around my cats is always warm and inviting. She also communicates well with me, sending updates and photos every day that I am gone, which puts me at ease!

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 $32.00. 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.
