I'm Janine | Cat Sitting in Renton, WA

As a lifelong cat lover with over 25 years of experience, I bring an understanding of feline behavior and care to every cat-sitting reservation. My journey started as a teenager rescuing my first kitten, Indy, and since then, I’ve cared for many cats, including shy and anxious ones, earning the nickname “cat whisperer” for my ability to connect with even the most reserved felines. I provide comprehensive care, from playtime to administering medication and maintaining each cat’s unique routin...

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

I’ve been caring for cats for over 25 years, starting with my first rescue kitten, Indy, when I was 17. Indy taught me how to bond with cats, respect their boundaries, and provide the care and play they need. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own cats and those of friends, gaining experience with everything from grooming to administering medications like liquid drops for kittens. I have the ability to connect with shy or anxious cats, helping them feel at ease over time. My experience has given me a solid understanding of feline behavior, which I use to tailor my care to each cat’s unique personality.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I love most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Whether it’s a playful kitten chasing toys like a wire with a “bug” at the end or a shy cat who slowly warms up to me, every interaction is special. I enjoy giving cats the care and attention they need while giving their owners peace of mind. Sending updates with photos or videos, complete with captions about the cat’s antics or sweet moments, is one of my favorite parts of the job. It’s rewarding to know I’m helping both the cat and the owner feel happy and connected.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my favorite cat-sitting experiences was with Henry, a large fluffy orange tabby who I nicknamed “Nosey” because he always wanted to know what I was doing. He would poke his paw under the bathroom door and meow until I came out to give him attention. I loved keeping him entertained with his favorite toys and sending his owners photos of his antics so they could feel connected while away. His playful and curious personality made every visit a joy and reminded me why I love cat sitting—every cat is different, and I get to build a unique bond with each one.

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

Renton cat sitting rates 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.
