I'm Janice
Cat Sitting in Mountlake Terrace, WA
About me..
I started my cat-sitting journey in August 2023, and I've had the pleasure of meeting a variety of feline friends, from solo kitties to lively quartets. During each visit, I ensure your furry companions receive top-notch care, including litter cleaning, water and food replenishment, as well as plenty of playtime and cuddles. If you have a shy cat, that’s totally okay! I will be one of the most patient human being they’ll meet and will do my best to have them warm up to me. If they don’t want to, that’s okay as well. I mean… They’re the boss and you know it!
By profession, I work as a software quality assurance engineer and enjoy the flexibility of working from home, which allows me to offer the utmost care for your beloved furrbaby... Hello there! Prepare to read a thesis length bio 😸. My name is Janice, from San Diego but now residing in Mountlake Terrace, WA. I can’t wait to meet more cats of the PNW 😼, specifically in Mountlake Terrace, Bothell, Kirkland, and it’s surrounding areas.

By profession, I work as a software quality assurance engineer and enjoy the flexibility of working from home, which allows me to offer the utmost care for your beloved furrbaby. Outside from work and cat sitting, I enjoy going to stand up comedy shows (Ali Wong, Tom Segura, Russell Peters, and Bobby Lee are my favorites), going to the Seattle improv on Saturdays, being a foodie and trying out new restaurants, photography, and being around my close friends and family.
Speaking of my own fur family, I have three cats, Jimothy, the regal wanderer, and Stella, the affectionate yet shy sweetheart, both at the age of 4, Siblings and born on 4th of July 🇺🇸Jimothy loves to chew HDMI cables. No matter how much I decoy my cables, he knows. He enjoys playing with feathered toys. My Stella hides under the couch for hours once maintenance comes in, and then she does the zoomies. Also, a new addition is Dahlia who is an affectionate (when she wants to be) tuxedo cat.
Apart from tending to your cats, I'm more than happy to assist with light household chores like tending to other animals or watering your plants.
I currently offer drop-in visits of 20, 45, and 60 minutes, up to 2 times a day, with no overnights. Please read through Meowtel's FAQs for helpful resources, or feel free to message me if you have additional questions or just to say hello 👋 .
Communication is key, and I'm completely open to whatever suits you best - whether it's a text, a call, or e mail, I pride myself on being easy to work with and honest, providing you with peace of mind while you're away. Looking forward to taking care of your furbabies!
TL;DR
I am excited to meet your cat(s)!

Janice is caring and professional. I receive daily updates, photos, and videos that always bring a big smile to my face, and I knew my cats were happy and comfortable when Janice came to visit them. Janice is a very good cat sitter.

Janice took perfect care of my cats. She provided detailed updates about the dry and wet food, water, and litter conditions of every visit she had. She also brought toys to play with my cats. Moveover, she kept my place clean and tidy. I had to change my flight towards the end of my original reservation because of some unexpected issue, and Janice responded very fast and agreed to extend the reservation by an extra week over the holidays. She helped so much! I really appreciate all her work. I’d recommend Janice to everyone who needs a cat sitter.

Janice is an amazing cat sitter!! My two kitties welcomed her immediately (even though one is quite shy!) and through the fantastic text, photo, and video updates I received from Janice, I could tell my cats were really enjoying Janice's care and play sessions! At one point during my trip, my new litter robot disconnected from my app and I started stressing out. I reached out to Janice to see if she would be willing to troubleshoot. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help that same morning and did a video call with me to try to fix the issue. Ultimately, we could not resolve the litter robot issue, and so I changed my reservation to add several more visits with Janice until my return. The rest of my travel was WORRY FREE knowing that Janice was there with my kitties! I'm so grateful for Janice's flexibility and generosity! I would highly recommend Janice as a cat sitter and will be glad to make a reservation with her the next time I travel!

Janice was great from the beginning with her prompt responses and attention to detail. She was on-time and provided the best updates with many pictures included. My cat is very shy but Janice was able to make my cat comfortable. She followed care instructions perfectly and did even more than asked. Thanks!!

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.
Mountlake Terrace cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!

Janice came to our rescue when we had a last minute need for a kitty sitter! She was flexible and communicative from the start. Janice was able to lure our very shy kitty out for some playtime. She sent daily updates and photos. Highly recommend her!

Janice was great about giving prompt updates about what was going on with my furry friends. While they were both fraidy cats and hid most of the time, she was very patient and updated us on every visit. I was so relieved to have someone checking in on them to make sure they were still okay, it took a lot of pressure off going out of town.

Janice was nothing short of amazing!!! Our cats are spoiled and special but Janice went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of. There were hiccups with our vacation but Janice handled everything gracefully and made our trip so much less stressful than it would’ve been otherwise.

Janice is a wonderful cat sitter. She sent me messages and photos about my all kittens one by one(I have four kittens) very details everyday, and she response very quickly when I text her. My all kittens love her, even the shy one. In addition, one of kittens got hurt before I left. Janice kept updated about her wound. Finally, I decided this kitten needed to see a vet. She helped to make an appointment and took this kitten to see a vet. Because of feeding meds, she needs to come to my house more times, but she still did it. After I came back, I can see this kitten's wound get better. This is the first time I have Janice to be my cat sitter, and I would definitely hire her again.

This is not the first time I have Janice to help me take care of my 4 kittens. She always give my all kittens best care, took good pictures/video and response very quickly. From her description and photos/video, I can see my kittens are very happy. She is the best cat sitter.

Janice is amazing with my two kitties! One cat tends to be shy, but she warmed right up to Janice! The meet and greet went really well and it put my mind at ease knowing my kitties would be in great hands while I was away. Janice sent amazing picture, text, and video updates from the visit and it looked like my girls had so much fun with her! Janice is very fast at responding to messages and was purrfectly on time for the meet and greet. I would highly recommend booking with Janice, so much so that I already have my next reservation set up with her!

Janice was fabulous with all 4 of our cats who all have different personalities and needs. One is a geriatric kitty who needed daily meds and Janice did a great job. She went above and beyond to understand how all our kitty feeders worked to ensure everything was working properly. She was not only responsible but gave lots of love and care to all our cats.
