Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

Hello!
• ALL CLIENTS • My availability often has flexibility so I encourage you to reach out to me directly if you’re interested in booking me but my calendar doesn’t appear open enough for your needs. It doesn’t hurt to ask 💬
• NEW CLIENTS • I encourage you to reach out ahead of our first booking if that makes you more comfortable and also to ensure you’re in my service area 🏡
• RETURNING CLIENTS • Thank you for your continued trust. You have no idea how much you and your kitties mean to me 🤗😻

Not only do l love and adore cats, l truly respect them. There's a beauty to the way they communicate their needs and boundaries. Since I've always had cats in my home, it took me a while to realize most non cat people don't understand the distinct and expressive way cats use their body language to communicate. A skill I take great pride in! I treat each and every cat as an individual with unique needs, quirks, temperament, and personality. I take the time to really get to know them and show them that I respect their autonomy...

Not only do l love and adore cats, l truly respect them. There's a beauty to the way they communicate their needs and boundaries. Since I've always had cats in my home, it took me a while to realize most non cat people don't understand the distinct and expressive way cats use their body language to communicate. A skill I take great pride in! I treat each and every cat as an individual with unique needs, quirks, temperament, and personality. I take the time to really get to know them and show them that I respect their autonomy. I am able to develop close bonds very quickly because I lead with warmth, love, patience, and respect and I aim to inspire the continued emergence of their innate confidence, curiosity, and playfulness in every single encounter.

You can definitely say I’m from a cat loving family! Everyone close to me is a cat person! I currently have my two boys (both street rescue kittens) Charlie and Ash, and a number of "niece and nephew" kitties, plus two more in the kitty family with my partner, Ryan.

** Please note: reservations requiring medication administration of any kind will need to be booked at 45 minute or 1 hour time slots **

When I’m not cat sitting, I wear many hats! But I assure you, working with cats is more than just a side hustle, it's a passion. I'm a very creative, empathic and intuitive person. Some of my work and hobbies include DIY projects, cooking, plant care, writing, energy work, life coaching, teaching and coaching actors, soft skills, content creation (especially about cats, nature, some woowoo topics, and personal development), photography, watercolor painting, and theater.
I'm most available to cat sit for you in and around the Ballard area. If you are in an immediate neighboring area, feel free to shoot me a message, I'm hopeful we can work something out but I have to be mindful of travel time and distance.

• Regarding Meet & Greets • Please remember to book your reservation before scheduling a Meet & Greet. This is Meowtel policy and helps protect both sitters and clients. If you decide not to move forward after meeting, your reservation is still fully refundable.

Meet & Greets are for the first initial meeting, they are complimentary, and sitters are not compensated for them, so thank you for being considerate of the time and energy involved.

Most Meet & Greets should last about 20 minutes, but if there is detailed medical information I can stay longer and I’m fine with that! I want us both leaving the Meet & Greet feeling good and having all our questions answered.

Lastly, during your reservation, you will receive pictures, videos and detailed updates through the Meowtel messaging system, please get the app ahead of your departure! It is Meowtel policy to communicate updates through the app to retain access to Trust & Safety features, including the Meowtel Guarantee and 24/7 support. This is for the safety of the sitter, the client, and the kitties so in the unlikely event of an emergency, we both have immediate support.

Thank you, I look forward to caring for your fur family!

Learn More About Bridget

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

I started officially sitting with Meowtel in 2022 while living in Los Angeles but have been pet sitting since I was a teen! I moved back up to Washington recently and have been rebuilding my client base here ever since!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love the kitties, of course! It also means so much to me that my clients can relax while they’re away knowing that their kitties are in my care. I don’t take that level of trust and responsibility lightly. As a cat owner myself, having a trusted person to treat your cats like they’re their own is everything.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I take so much pride in winning over the shy kitties! Or being able to hand feed a treat to a kitty who usually only eats them from the floor. Or that moment when the ones who aren’t lap kitties decide I’m worthy of a snuggle. Basically, anytime I can get that purr motor going, I’m in bliss!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two boys! Ashland is 10 and loves to chat. Charlie is 5 and is still fond of paying fetch. Both rescued as kittens from the mean streets of Los Angeles and they are my world!

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

I think there are two levels to hiring a pet sitter. The bare minimum is finding someone who is reliable, follows instructions, keeps your pets safe, and takes care of the essentials like food, water, litter boxes, medications, and home security. Beyond that is enrichment. A great pet sitter pays attention to each animal as an individual. They notice changes in behavior, adapt to the pet’s comfort level, provide companionship, play when it’s wanted, and create positive experiences rather than simply completing a checklist. For many pets, especially cats, the emotional aspect of a visit can be just as important as the physical care. My advice is to look for someone whose updates make it clear they’re truly observing and engaging with your pet, not just reporting that tasks were completed. You want someone who will care for your pets the way you hope a trusted friend would.

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

Depending on how far in advance you book with me, I like to set up the meet and greet within the week of the reservation. The first thing I love to do is test the key! And ensure all aspects of getting inside the home have been covered. I come prepared with a thorough list of questions about your kitty, their quirks, habits, your home, routines, favorite toys etc. but will follow your lead if you prefer to run me through everything at your own pace.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I’ve added some of my favorite kitty items in my photo gallery! These are toys, treats and tools that my own kitties and many of my existing clients/ cats love! Everything from a RECHARGEABLE laser, a crinkle tunnel, and a no scratching spray. (And of course the beloved Churu treat tubes!). Feel free to reach out if you have questions!

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

This is one of the areas I really thrive in. I’m very patient with shy kitties and let them set their own pace. If a kitty is too timid to meet me during a meet and greet, I’ll have you place my glasses near them for a little bit so they can get familiar with my scent. During the course of a reservation, I pay close attention to their body language and allow them to approach me, first. Once they realize I’m the one feeding and playing with them, it’s only a matter of time before we’re best friends! But even if they still prefer no contact I can sing, play, talk to them, and all and all maintain a routine, clean environment, enrichment, and loving company

Bridget is such an amazing cat sitter! She took detailed notes of all our instructions and followed them carefully and thoughtfully. She also gives amazing updates, with many pictures and videos. Her enthusiasm for the cats really came through, and they clearly enjoyed having her visit. We will be booking her again in the future!

Thank you, Ian! Algy & Gwen were such a joy to hang with. I loved Gwen’s fluffy tail & tiny meow, & Algy’s fierceness for his orange ribbon. So glad the updates were a hit, looking forward to next time!

Bridget was awesome! She took the time to understand where everything was, took notes, and really made us feel good about leaving our kitties in her care. One kitty has a lot of medicine needs, and she handled it like a pro. The kitties almost seemed disappointed we were back, they missed the nice lady who came to play with them every day! Thanks for everything Bridget!

I had such an awesome experience with Bridget!! She loved and took care of my two cats like they were her own. Her daily check-ins with lots of photos, put my mind at ease that all was well while I was gone. She even helped me to set up my automatic feeder app which I had been putting off. I highly recommend her to take care of your furry partners in crime!

Bridget was so great with our furbabies! She has an intuition and profound love for kitties that instantly draws even the most shyest of shy out to experience the world without fear. Her attention to detail and planning made me confident I picked the right person for the job! Her pics/videos were super fun, capturing the zany antics of our kitties perfectly. She is a true gem!

I cannot gush enough about how great Bridget is! From the very moment she walked in the door for the meet and greet, I felt at ease - and so did my kitties, even my shy guy who IMMEDIATELY warmed up to her in a way I've never seen him warm up to anybody who isn't me. Outside of just being a delight, I really appreciated how prepared she was with a thorough checklist of questions and items to discuss before my departure. Throughout my eight day reservation, she gave detailed updates and sent the most adorable pics and videos that had me feeling truly relaxed that everything was calm and happy at home. She went above and beyond in making sure everything was clean, the boys were loved and taken care of, and that I felt comfortable along the way. Bridget has a magical combination of not only a warm energy and friendly demeanor, but also a sharp professionalism and responsibility. I would highly recommend Bridget and I'm sure my cats are looking forward to the next time I leave if it means they get to hang out with her again. Truly the best.

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 $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!
