Meow from Fremont! My name is Chris! Thank you for checking out my profile. The last three and a half years, I've happily been a trusted cat sitter with Meowtel. I’ve completed over 250 bookings, with dozens of repeat clients. I am proud of my solid 5 star review and so happy of the kind words from my clients. I just love all the relationships that I built with the cats as a sitter.

Before that, for 25 years, I led a prestigious, trusted, and decorated career within the federal government, with 19 of those years in management positions. As such, I pay attention to details with directions and instructions. I also take pride with my interpersonal skills. I decided to take an early retirement for at least another year, to enjoy more out of life...

As such, I pay attention to details with directions and instructions. I also take pride with my interpersonal skills. I decided to take an early retirement for at least another year, to enjoy more out of life. I know what the stress is like to travel and be away from home while trusting the care of your cat with someone else.

Sadly, I lost my beloved cat Mochi almost four years ago to an unexpected cancer diagnosis. Since I have that void in my life, it’s in Mochi's memory and honor, I am make myself available to cat-sitting for those in my surrounding neighborhood.

A little bit about me. I am a single, Pacific Northwest local, completely plant-based since 2005 because of my love of animals, and an active volunteer in my LGBTQ+ community. I grew up with animals at an early age, including small furry friends such as countless adorable rats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, and our family cat of 18 years, Oscar. The last 20 years of my life, I had the responsibility of taking care and providing support to a cat within my own independent household. I love cats!! Hobbies include camping, backpacking, photography, vegan/gluten-free cooking, and traveling domestically and internationally.

I am a non-smoker and fully up to date on my COVID and flu vaccines as of October 2025. If you need other type of household needs, such as watering indoor plants, outdoor gardens, checking the mail, I'd be happy to help!

Please note--If you do not see availability for the dates you need, please send me a message with those dates. I will review my schedule to see if I can help accommodate and can add those future dates to my calendar for you. Thank you!

This was our second booking with Chris. Knowing how much care and love he puts into this, we were certainly super eager to have him care for our kitties as we went out of town to celebrate my birthday. Just like last time, he was absolutely wonderful. He provided detailed updates, photos, and spend quality time with our kitties while also giving my cat Toby his meds right on time. Absolutely and strongly recommend him to anyone! Additionally, he even left me a small present for my birthday, with two large beautiful printed photos of our babies, and many smaller ones as well, and a super kind hand written card. Chris, you’re simply the best cat sitter I’ve ever had 🙌🏼 I look forward to our next interaction 😊

Chris really went above and beyond for our cats, one of which is a bit anxious and aggressive towards strangers. Chris immediately knew how to put her at ease and even got her to take her meds, despite her less than sweet disposition. He sent us amazing photos and detailed updates throughout our trip, and I have never felt so relieved that our pets were in such good hands. It is clear that Chris really understands cats and their body language. 💕🙏🏻

Chris was AMAZING. Our cats are skittish and they often hide when strangers are around. Chris was very patient and continuously attempted to build more trust with them. Outside of the amazing care he provided our babies, he also took great care of our home. And when we came back, we found a stack of printed out photos of the babies. That was a really nice touch. We will definitely reach out to him again.

Chris was a pleasure to meet and get to know! He did an excellent job at communicating and keeping us up to date about his visits. He told us what exactly happened while at the visit, what he did, and sent photos which were so great to have! We couldn’t be more happy with his care and job of taking care of our two boys!

I’m so grateful for Chris - he took amazing care of my Khleo. I even had pictures of her ready for me to have and place throughout my place! Chris followed all instructions to a T, providing good, thorough summaries of each day, and Khleo seemed to love him very much - I am very comfortable having Chris take care of Khleo again in the future!

We had such a wonderful experience with Chris. He was so well prepared and asked all the right thoughtful questions about our kitties and home. He was on time on every visit, and sent thorough status reports at the end of each visit. Above all, as a beautiful and kind gesture, he gifted us with a handful of printed pictures of our cats and left it in a handwritten card for us. I strongly recommend Chris and I look forward to working with him again in the future. Thank you so much Chris!!

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!
