Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

I am a Cat pet owner with two 10+ years old domestic shorthairs and recently adopted a 2.5 years old RagDoll!! I treat my kitties as my first children. I have a home where all my cats roams around freely and play with their dad and human brothers. I feel cats and I exchange an energy when I greet them. I keep a consistent routine for food and drink, clean bowls and litter box. It takes time to really know a cat, but as with my years of bonding with cats, I prioritize these as cat's fir... I am a Cat pet owner with two 10+ years old domestic shorthairs and recently adopted a 2.5 years old RagDoll!! I treat my kitties as my first children. I have a home where all my cats roams around freely and play with their dad and human brothers. I feel cats and I exchange an energy when I greet them. I keep a consistent routine for food and drink, clean bowls and litter box. It takes time to really know a cat, but as with my years of bonding with cats, I prioritize these as cat's first need. Looking into their eyes, coat, bum, gum, ears give a lot of health related information that I can communicate. Cats are territorial and it's a human's responsibility to honor it if stepping in. Every cat is different, so taking time to know them is important. When I sit a cat, I care and communicate just the same as I would do for my own pets. I like to write detail notes and send a lot of pictures cause I know how hard can be to be away from fur babies. Cats are magnificent!

Learn More About Nancy Tanjima

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The introduction with a new cat is what I enjoy the most because that's when I get a glimpse in their personality. Depending on how they want to approach me, I welcome them to mark me or give them their space if they seem not interested. I find this exercise very interesting!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

YES!!! I have 3 cats! 1. Agdoom | 10 yrs Female | Tabby + Mainecoone mix 2. Bagdoom | 10 yrs Female | Bombay & Mainecoone mix 3. Uttom Kumar (UKu) | 2.5 yrs Male | Ragdoll

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

Respecting their boundaries. Cats are unique in deciding who they want to open upto. So initially I am very patient to let the kitty get comfortable with me. Meanwhile, I will get familiar with their possible hideouts to make sure they have access to food and water and littre incase they don't wanna come out. Sharing treats, encouraging them to play, talking to them are all great ways to interact with a timid or anxious cat. However, it is also important for me to keep my experienced eye on them to identify any signs of distress or illness.

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!
