Learn More About Carole

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

I have been catsitting through Meowtel since March of 2023 since retiring. I have owned kitties most of my life.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new kitties is always fun for me. Each has their own unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one individually.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I sat for a kitty with cerebellar hypoplasia. He is the most wonderful kitty, who I fell in love with. He was my first "wobbly" cat I have met and cared for. His "can-do" spirit was truly inspirational! His resilience and strength of character truly inspire me. I was instantly smitten!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, 2 black kitties - Macy and Mochi (girl and boy) about 1.5 years old (as of May 2024). I am glad to have them after I learned that black cats are some of the last to be adopted cuz some people are superstitious. To those who are scared of adopting black cats, I say, "Don't Be!" They each have very unique, funny, and loving personalities. Now past kittenhood, they are both coming into their own. I am discovering more about them each and every day...and loving every minute of it! There's never been a dull moment! 🥰

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

At the Meet and Greet, use your intuition when watching how your kitty(ies) interact (or don't) with the catsitter. Cats are VERY intuitive themselves. They "know" cat people when they see (and sniff) them! Give catsitter enough time to get to know (and play with) your kitties! I can get them fed, clean litter box, take and text pics in 20 minutes, but that doesn't leave us much play time!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Whether new or not new, I want to know what their daily routine is. Kitties like familiar routines and changes can be disruptive. Your absence is a big enough change for your kitty (ies). If I can help bring some normalcy through playtime, trust time, etc., all the better.

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

I check to see where they are. Sometimes they meet me at the door while other times they go into hiding. Most of the time I can put my eyeballs on them to assure owners, and I take pics whenever I can. I also do NOT let kitties go outside, even if they are allowed outdoors. The main reason is it voids my insurance through Meowtel. But it also helps to keep your kitties safe!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Usually, but during the winter months, I may not open my availability to avoid inclimate weather conditions. I don't like to drive in the snow and ice because I live on top of a hill!

What is your favorite cat toy?

Rods with furry or feathery toys at the end. I find most kitties love these toys. I also like blowing bubbles for them! And, treats are also fun time as it helps with bonding.

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

I initially give them lots of space. I like to talk with them a lot, and use their name a lot. Over time they usually chill out, but sometimes it may take more than one catsit, depending on the length of the initial catsit.

Carole went above and beyond to take care of our kitty! In addition to taking excellent care of her, Carole even brought some of her own wet food in when we ran out. She also tried to get to know our kitty's preferences, such as *how* she likes to get brushed. My wife and I miss our kitty terribly when we travel, so we were comforted and deeply appreciative for Carole to take such good care of our Marmalade. And our toddler LOVED the pictures Carole took of her.

Carole has a special touch -- our normally shy boy gave her lots of lap time! She was great at administering medicines and gave us very detailed updates on his condition. Great photos and communication let me know that all was going well while we were away -- I would book Carole again in a heartbeat! ❤️

Carole has been my go too person for watching my two babies. She's so sweet with them they absolutely love her. She communicates wonderfully while I'm away, sending me lots of pics and videos, giving me updates on if they seem to be eating less, and what toys they are enjoying playing with etc. She is so caring and understands the anxiety that can come with leaving our babies. I always feel less stressed knowing she's going to be there taking care of them.

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 $29.00. 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.
