Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA
I have lived in the Seattle area my whole life. I currently work as a preschool teacher, and I love my job. I constantly share stories about the kitties I care for with my students.
I graduated with my BA in Sociology from Western Washington University in 2022, and I am currently pursing my masters degree in Elementary Education.
I have one kitty of my own, and her name is Asparagus! My two... Hi, my name is Kaya! I am a lifelong cat lover based in the Seattle Area.
I have lived in the Seattle area my whole life. I currently work as a preschool teacher, and I love my job. I constantly share stories about the kitties I care for with my students.
I graduated with my BA in Sociology from Western Washington University in 2022, and I am currently pursing my masters degree in Elementary Education.
I have one kitty of my own, and her name is Asparagus! My two bonus kitties live at my mom's house; their names are Buttercup and Blossom, and they are my childhood kitties.
Asparagus is 4 years old, and she has a condition that causes her to have chronic UTIs. I am very cautious and pay attention to her mood and litter box to ensure her UTIs do not flare up. She is on anxiety medication and different kinds of probiotics.
That being said - I am comfortable giving medications to kitties and have experience doing so.
A few things about me are that I love cats, traveling, and hanging out with my friends and family and my students throughout the week! You can usually find me thrifting or trying out different coffee shops :)
Learn More About Kaya
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting with Meowtel for a little over a year now. I have been loving it! Meeting different kitties is so special and fun.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
When cuddly kitties come up for cuddles and pets! ❤️
Are you usually available during holidays?
Since my family is in the area, I am usually available during the holidays. I do max my cat sitting load to 2-3 cat sitting gigs around the holidays, so please try and book in advance!
What is your favorite cat toy?
It is pictured on my profile - My kitty Asparagus has her adorable felt strawberry toy! I love any food themed cat toy. They are so cute!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Giving them time and space. My kitty is very anxious around new people, so I always let them know to have a calm voice, and don’t approach her until she is ready! I will always do the same for the kitties that I care for.

Kaya did a great job with our 3 kitties! She sent loads of photos and the 3 amigos seemed to warm up to her quickly (even our shy girl). She left the house spotless and we came home to well-fed fur babies. We will definitely choose her again!

From the moment we met Kaya, we knew she was going to be good. We have never left our cats alone overnight, but have always had a live-in companion for them, so this was a first. We immediately felt comfortable with Kaya. She sent some really great photos and detailed text messages every day. Our cats were a little bit miffed when we got home, but they were no worse for the experience and things quickly got back to normal. We would not hesitate to hire Kaya again.

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 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!
