I'm Karla | Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

Hi, I’m Karla! I’m a part-time carpenter in training and visual artist looking for a side job that I’m truly passionate about. I’ve been a cat lady my entire life and I thought why not try to make a living treating cats like the gods and goddesses they are! There isn’t a time in my life where I didn’t have a kitty nearby to care for. They say “do what you love” and well, buddy, I freaking love cats! I have experience caring for cats at all life stages, including giving prescription medication when needed. One of my dearly departed cats was a sweet little blind tripawd boy who lived to a ripe old age thanks to being utterly spoiled an...

Learn More About Karla

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have one cat named Minichicken. He just celebrated his 17th birthday! We had to say goodbye to my dear Biggie Smalls in 2021 and we still talk about him every day. I still think about my other cats I grew up with. They left an indelible mark on my heart!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I do holiday visits, because cats don’t care about calendars and their physical and emotional needs must be met even when their family is away for the weekend.

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

It’s a careful balance of letting them know you’re here to help, and letting them approach on their terms. Cats are incredibly sensitive so I stay calm and speak in soothing tones while avoiding direct eye contact. If I’m stressed, they will pick that up. I try to stay close (but not too close.) Keeping noises down and not making quick movements has been a successful method dealing with particularly anxious fur friends! My current kitty has separation anxiety and I have a lot of practice making him feel safe and calm so that his personality may blossom!

Really liked Karla from the first meet and greet and could tell she would take great care of Crystal and Charlie - which she did.. She spent quality time and went above and beyond with excellent communication and timely updates. We hope she is available the next time we plan a trip.

I don't know what Karla's secret is but I've never had a cat sitter who made my cat anywhere near this happy. I have a very sweet cat who also likes to hide from cat sitters. Usually it takes several days for her to come out and even then she might only greet the sitter. My cat came out to see Karla at the end of the first day. By the time I returned, she was being a lap cat, which never happened before. She also took plenty of time to play with my cat who can be quite active and really does need playtime. She was also really good about making sure that if my cat didn't eat the previous day's wet food (she does that a lot), the old food went in the trash and she got fresh new food.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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.
