Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

I’ve had cats since I was a kid, and now I have two of my own who rule the apartment (I just pay the rent). I understand that every cat has their own personality-some want cuddles, some want space, some just want you to exist quietly in the same room.

I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I’m patient, gentle, and always let cats warm up at their own pace.

I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I’m patient, gentle, and always let cats warm up at their own pace.

I’ll make sure your cat is fed, comfortable, entertained (if they’re into that), and well cared for while you’re away.

Reliable, attentive, and genuinely happy to spend time with cats—because honestly, more cats in life is always a good idea.

I usually start with a meet & greet where I take notes on your cat’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions, so everything stays consistent while you’re away.
I’m also always happy to answer questions or hop on a quick zoom call beforehand if that makes you feel more comfortable.

This is our second time working with Ira, and it was great! I would recommend Ira to anyone, but especially folks with shy or aging cats. Ira went above and beyond to make sure my cats were comfortable and was super helpful with cleaning up after them (unfortunate reality due to their age). I trust Ira completely, which meant we had peace of mind for the week we were away.

Ira was fantastic!! She was super attentive and made sure she knew all th details about our cat’s schedule and needs. She sent lots of updates during the session which helped ease the stress of our cat being with a new person. Highly recommend!!!

Ira did a great job with my cat Zora, who needed medication and some special behavioral considerations. I am very satisfied, and Zora was kept happy while I was gone!

Ira is wonderful! She is really good with our kitties, and her updates are helpful and reassuring (plus Ira is charming and funny, so her updates are truly a delight to receive!). We would be thrilled to have Ira watch our boys again in the future. She was also great about cleaning up the couple times the kitties made messes, and (despite her claims that she can't garden) she even managed to bring our rose bush back to life.

Ira was wonderful with our kitties. Very dependable and communicative. Also, two of my cats need daily medication, which she administered beautifully. I would definitely hire her again!

Ira is very friendly and has a great understanding of how cats like to be treated! They were prompt, thorough, gave great updates, and handled our picky cat with grace. I felt the cats were in good hands while we were away!

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 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 Meet & Greet!
