I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and I've always loved animals— especially cats since I've lived with many of them over the years. I currently live with two cats here in Seattle; A 19 year old grandma and a 10 year old toddler.

I've spent 4 years at HSMC, (Wausau, WI) volunteering there as a cat advocate. I would spend my time with many cats cleaning their kennels, washing laundry and of course, playing with them.

I have experience administering oral liquid medication, topical flea/tick medication, inhalers and ear drops to cats.

As for hours of service in neighborhoods, I reside in Shoreline by Hamlin Park (98155) and can drive/bus to you. My availability is currently more flexible this quarter, but may change in the near future.

My third and most recent covid vaccination was in December of 2021. I constantly sanitize, wash my hands and maintain cleanliness.

It's our second time having Pat cat sit. We're so thankful for Pat's patience with our last minute notes about our cat having some anal gland issues right before we left for our trip. Pat puts us at ease with all the detailed updates, as she kept a close eye on our cat's behavior and litterbox use at each visit. Our shy cat thoroughly enjoyed Pat's company at each visit, which is a huge relief for us. Many many thanks, Pat!

Pat was the epitome of kind and calm from our intro meeting through her entire weeklong stay (overnights) with our feisty cat. She exceeded all expectations with imaginative play and daily pictures/updates. We returned to a tidy home and a happy kitty. Will definitely ask for Pat next time we travel!!!

This was the fourth time Paterla has looked after my cats, Krayt and Kreia, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. I have to preface this by saying that, of the six cats I’ve had over the last 20 years, these two littermates are by far the shyest. They usually only responded to my husband and me. Since my husband died, they’ve had to meet more people who have helped me during my grief, but most visitors are met with wary distance. Something changed after Paterla started caring for them. By the end of her first or second visit, they were already brave enough to walk near her—a huge milestone. On this most recent trip, they actually became affectionate with her. She sends me photos and thoughtful descriptions of their behavior each time she visits, but this time I was floored: on her last day, both cats gave her side belly. They never do that, not even for most friends—only for me. Knowing that my skittish little ones feel safe and cared for with her is an enormous relief, especially because I travel often and no longer have my husband here to look after them. Paterla isn’t just a wonderful and reliable caretaker—she has genuinely earned my cats’ trust, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of loving, attentive cat-sitting.

We cannot thank Pat enough for taking such good care of our only cat, MoMo, when we were away. Pat made sure all of MoMo's needs were taken care of at each visit and also sent pics/updates after each visit, which was very helpful and reassuring. Pat took the time and effort to bond with MoMo during her visits and it makes our cat feel less lonely when we were away. Thank you so much, Pat!

This was the 4th time we had Pat take care of our 3 kitties. She is so great! All of our cats take daily medication and Pat always ensured everyone took theirs. Even when our cats would spit out the medicine, Pat found ways to trick them and make sure they took it. We feel so grateful to have a cat sitter we feel that we can trust in our home and with our cats when we are 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 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!
