Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

I'm a life long cat-lover who has not only has a blind cat but I foster kittens too, and I've successfully completed over 200 bookings so far with Meowtel. All of my 5-star reviews are from new clients who have loved the premium cat sitting experience I provide, which includes a ton of photos, videos, and communication before, during, and after the booking. I always go above and beyond for your kitty(ies) and I'm reliable, diligent, and trust worthy... I'm a life long cat-lover who has not only has a blind cat but I foster kittens too, and I've successfully completed over 200 bookings so far with Meowtel.

I always go above and beyond for your kitty(ies) and I'm reliable, diligent, and trust worthy.

I've had cats all of my life, and understand how scary it can be to have a stranger watching over them. I will do my very best to make sure they are comfortable the entire time, and will keep you updated constantly on what's happening during the visits. If they're friendly they will get a ton of playtime and pets. If they're more skittish, I'll take it nice and slow.

I love cats more than most people, and can be totally relied upon to take the best care of your cat imaginable. If you want an inexpensive cat sitter you barely hear from, and who might send one pic per visit, book a different sitter. I want to exceed your expectations for a cat sitter each and every time!

Learn More About Josh

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

Several years now and I love meeting new cats since they are all so different.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Befriending stranger cats as it is super rewarding when my clients say, "He or she is usually not this nice to strangers!" I am not always a cat whisperer but have been known to have unfriendly or shy cats cuddle up to me, eventually.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

It's really about the cat more than it is about the home, as nothing beats a super friendly cuddle bug who just wants to sit in my lap and purr the whole time!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a blind siamese named Miss Burlington. She was a feral cat living in a cat colony behind a Burlington Coat Factory in CA and was driven up here as I've always had blind cats.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Read the reviews before hand, and also feel confident to voice your expectations to the sitter before the booking starts.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always take it really slow going in and out, and make double-sure all doors are locked and all cats are safe. I've had over 200 bookings and have never had a cat escape or be harmed in any way.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am, usually, though I do charge more for these periods.

What is your favorite cat toy?

plastic coils but a cat dancer is always good, as it a plastic tunnel if you have one. Then again, you also can't go wrong with any wand toy.

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

I just take it slow and let them come to me, as cats are the ones in control of that interaction.

Josh took great care of our cats while we were away! We are repeat customers. We received several photos and videos of our cats during each visit, updates on if their eating habits, and confirmations of cleaned litter boxes. We really enjoyed how responsive and communicative he was (confirming timing for each day and reminders as the appointment approached). He made us feel calm knowing that our kitties were in good care while we were away.

Josh gives me such a peace of mind that my kitty is safe and well cared for when I'm out of town! He goes above and beyond to provide me photos and videos of my kitty every day. He gives such careful and thoughtful care including moving around my fan to make sure my kitty was cool during the heat. I highly recommend Josh!!

We can’t thank Josh enough for checking in on our kitty while we were staying at the hospital for our baby’s birth. Josh is always super communicative and flexible. He even added another last minute return visit when we needed him to check in on our kitty a second time. Josh’s care made all the difference in helping us focus whilst knowing our kitty was in good hands with a super cat sitter.

Josh was amazing with my kitties! I had a slight mix-up about the date I was returning home. Josh was flexible in taking care of my cats for one extra day - I was able to modify my reservation with no problem. He also went above and beyond when I missed taking out one of my litter champs. It filled up over my vacation and Josh was super kind in taking care of it with a little instruction. His updates were highlights of my vacation. I've saved so many photos he sent me. He really got to know my cats and took the time to figure out their quirks; able to draw them out of their shells.

Josh did an amazing job taking care of our cats, while we were away. Along with checking their food, water, litter etc. he went above and beyond spending time with and getting to know them. Our cats are super shy and they really warmed up to him. Josh is also a great communicator and provided us with daily videos, photos. and updates. If looking for a cat sitter, I highly recommend booking with Josh!

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!
