Michelle's Shy And Diabetic Kitty Care

I'm Michelle

Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

Hi, My name is Michelle! I work in architecture, but in the meantime, I love spending time with cats. I currently live with three: a black kitty named Donny, a calico named Mazapán, and a gray tabby cat named Molly or Tamolly, as we like to say lolol.

I understand that kitties can be moody, mischievous as well as sweet, and loving. I want to be sure they feel safe and comfortable, as well as you as the owner...
Hi, My name is Michelle! I work in architecture, but in the meantime, I love spending time with cats. I currently live with three: a black kitty named Donny, a calico named Mazapán, and a gray tabby cat named Molly or Tamolly, as we like to say lolol.

I understand that kitties can be moody, mischievous as well as sweet, and loving. I want to be sure they feel safe and comfortable, as well as you as the owner.

I have experience administrating insulation to diabetic pets, dogs, and kitties alike! I grew up with a diabetic Jack Russell and have spent time volunteering at pet shelters. I have always fostered kittens and found them homes in the past! My calico, Maza, loves kittens and is always a great big sissy when I bring a baby home.

I decided to join because I'd personally only let other people who own cats watch mine. I live in the Eastlake/North Cap hill area but am very flexible on location and time. I offer drop-ins and overnight stays. I look forward to meeting the kitty family!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat-sitting reservation was with this frisky baby boy named Earl; he was still young and soooooo funny! He had the most expressive eyes and was a beautiful gray fluffy kitten. On my last day with him, he spent the time cuddling up on my chest and playing, taking treats from my hands, purring! I still think about Earl to this day; I miss you, bud!

What is your favorite cat toy?

The catnip banana from Mud Bay never fails!! But be sure to acquire multiple catnip bananas if you have more than one cat because all cats will go to war for a chance to play with that magical catnip banana! Speaking from experience lol.

Michelle was communicative, prompt and took great care of our kitties. Even the one who refused to come out from under the bed, but still received treats and friendly companionship during Michelle’s visits. Will definitely request her again.

Michelle was the perfect cat sitter for my 3 babies! she gained their trust immediately and spent quality time with them while also giving them the best care. She also administered my toothless cats anxiety meds flawlessly which is hard to do the first time! I would recommend her to anyone. (she also takes the cutest pics!)

Michelle went above and beyond to ease some concerns I had around pet sitting for my senior cat, who (despite being a curmudgeon) warmed up in time! I'm really appreciative for the care and concern shown, plus the extra support without being asked - cleaning my Litter Genie because I forgot before I left and receiving Bea's monthly autoship from All the Best, as examples. Thanks for everything! Looking forward to rebooking in the future.

Michelle was amazing not only for the 3 pop-ins on the schedule, but also with communication leading up to it! She is always prompt with responses, which is a huge stress relief when away from your pets. She sent detailed updates and lots of pictures each day, and I was able to enjoy my trip away knowing I had reliable care for my little gal. Will definitely be booking again :)

Michelle was absolutely perfect! She was super communicative throughout all visits, and always sent tons of pictures. Most importantly, all our kitties adored her! Even our shyest cat was always out with Michelle.

Michelle was absolutely fantastic! She kept us updated daily on our little cat, Olive, and administered her insulin without any issues. Michelle also made an effort to meet Olive beforehand, taking detailed notes on her care to ensure everything went smoothly while we were away. We truly appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos of Olive. Michelle's attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and dedication to our cat’s well-being were exceptional. We will definitely be relying on her for future pet care!

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!
