I'm Axel J | Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

Certified cat whisperer and part-time hooman, I live in a world where every meow is a masterpiece and every purr is applause. My hobbies include narrating dramatic soap operas starring my cats, curating the finest cardboard box architecture, and ensuring no snack is ever eaten alone. I’ve mastered the art of stepping over sleeping felines without waking them — a true ninja in fuzzy sl...

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

Building trust with a new cat requires patience, respect, and understanding of their unique personality. First, I give the cat space to approach me on their terms, letting them sniff and observe without pressure. I use a calm, gentle voice to reassure them and avoid direct eye contact, which can be intimidating. Offering treats or engaging with their favorite toys helps to create positive associations. Gradually, I’ll start petting them in areas cats typically enjoy, like under the chin or behind the ears, always watching their body language to ensure they're comfortable. Trust is built slowly, so I move at the cat’s pace, allowing them to feel safe and secure in my presence.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is forming a unique bond with each cat. I love witnessing their personalities shine through as they grow more comfortable. Whether it's playing, grooming, or simply providing a calm presence, I find joy in ensuring they feel safe, loved, and content in their owner's absence.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my favorite cat sitting experiences was with a mischievous tabby named Raul. Raul had a reputation for being shy with strangers, but by the second day of our time together, he began to warm up. After a few days of gentle interactions, Raul finally sat beside me and started purring contentedly. I’ll never forget the breakthrough moment when he brought me his favorite toy, a small mouse, as if inviting me into his world. By the end of the week, we were inseparable, and I could tell Raul was as sad to see me go as I was to leave him.

Frequently Asked Questions

Seattle cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
