Learn More About Darice

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My cats are Creedence and Kalimu, they are 5 and 4 years old. Creedence is a little lady, I adopted her from Seattle Humane when she was 8 weeks old. Kalimu is a playful and super affectionate sweet boy.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

When hiring a cat sitter, look for someone who not only loves cats but understands their unique behaviour and needs. Every cat is different- some are playful and social, while others need more time and space to warm up - so it’s important to find someone who is patient, observant and respectful of your cat’s boundaries. A meet and greet beforehand is a great way to see how your cat and the sitter interact. And trust your instincts- someone who listens well, communicates clearly and shows genuine care for your pet is worth their weight in gold!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am usually available during holidays year round and on weekends as well. I do go on vacation once in a while so check my calendar before booking!

Darice is great with our cats! One of our cats have had a history of being afraid and weary of other people, but they all warmed up to Darice quickly and they love her company! She follows our instructions and notes well, is great with our automatic litter box, and films playing with the kitties for us to see.

Darcie came to my home every day to take care of Maoji during my Thanksgiving trip. She is very friendly and responsive. she sent me Maoji’s video and pictures every day and helped me monitor her diet and puking situation. Maoji loves her very much and even started kneading next to her! She is absolutely fantastic cat sitter! I’ll definitely reach out to her when I’m out of town next time.

We went on vacation for a week and Darice was great! We do have friendly cats, one is a bit shier but he came around and started loving on her too. She brought in a few packages for us and sent plenty of pictures and videos while we were gone.

Darice was incredible. She took such wonderful care of our cat and truly gave her the royal treatment. She provided frequent, thoughtful updates that gave us total peace of mind, and it was clear how attentive and loving she was throughout. Our cat got plenty of cuddles and genuine care, not just the basics. We’re so grateful for Darice and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kirkland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
