I’ve had cats my entire life and know how how to care for felines of all temperaments. I’m a very patient, loving, and playful cat dad who takes the same approach to the cats I work with.

Typically, I like to meet the cat and speak with the humans before my first visit so I can ask questions and make sure we are all comfortable together. I always let the cat lead, giving them space when they want it, or letting them curl up on me for a good long cuddle.

If there is one thing that sets me apart from cat sitters it’s that I know how speak their language. I never rush or crowd them. I recognize certain behaviors very quickly and can adjust based on how they respond to me.

I have plenty of experience administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping them loved and entertained.

Learn More About Zachary

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

I’ve been cat sitting for over 20+ years. Growing up with three cats, I was always tapped to take care of the other pets in my neighborhood.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Isn’t it obvious? The cats! They just make me happy. And as someone who knows how hard it can be to leave your cat when you’re away, it makes me feel good to know I can help cat owners relax a little while theirs gone.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Right now my only cat’s name is Miles (although his personality is almost more like a dog 😹). He is the latest in a long line of cat’s I’ve had in my life.

Once again, Zachary took such good care of our cats they barely missed us. Throughout our trip Zachary was an awesome communicator, sent tons of photos, and was diligent about wound care and updates when one of our fur babies had a mishap right before we traveled. While we were away we slept so soundly knowing out cats were in such great hands. Thank you Zachary and see you again soon!!!!!

Zachary was a godsend while we traveled for the holidays. He was prompt, communicative and sent tons of kitty photos. He took the time to get to know our cats, took the time to play with them and earn their trust, and they absolutely loved him by the end of the first day of sitting. Normally the cats are mad at us when we return from a trip, but they got such great care it was like we never left. Thank you Zachary!!!!

Zachary did a great job and took excellent care of our cat, applying meds and cleaning up vomit and a couple of accidents. He made sure that our cat received lots of attention on his visits, sent photos, and indulged her fondness for being vacuumed. Can't ask for more. Highly recommend, and would use again.

Zachary was great. Easy and quick to communicate with and take good care of my cat Lewis. He even managed to give Lewis his pill by hand, which is not always an easy feat.

Zachary is a top-notch Catsitter. He checked in and sent a number of photos documenting every visit. This was the first time I’ve left my cat and it gave me so much ease to know she was being taken care of so well. Thank you Zachary!

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.

Seattle 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!
