Learn More About Annaliese

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

I've been cat-sitting for friends and family for over 25 years. During that time, I've cared for cats with special diets and those who require medication, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions. I'm excited to connect with even more feline companions. As mentioned in my bio, I have experience with a wide range of temperaments and know how to approach stressed or shy cats with patience and compassion.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new cats — or reconnecting with ones I've cared for before. One of my favorite moments is when a cat purrs or seeks out attention, letting me know they feel happy and safe. I also love witnessing quieter moments: a cat curled up in a dreamlike sleep, paws twitching, or the slow transformation of a shy cat emerging from their hiding place to check me out — and eventually, learning to trust.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One friend's cat, Loki, loved to play wildly during my visits. I once captured a photo of him mid-chase — full of energy and joy — and sharing that moment with his owner felt really special. Just a month later, Loki was diagnosed with a rare health issue and sadly passed away. I still look at that photo and smile — at how much life he had, and how lucky I was to be a part of it.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one cat, Onyx — a beautiful 4-year-old Bombay who sometimes tears around the apartment like the wild leopard she must believe she is. I adopted her two years ago and am so grateful she's part of my life. I've had cats for as long as I can remember, and honestly, I can't imagine life without them.

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

Go with someone your cat can feel safe with. It's essential to find a sitter who's not just reliable, but who genuinely understands cats — their rhythms, quirks, and boundaries. A good cat sitter will respect your cat's personality, whether they're playful, shy, or independent. Ask questions, share the details that make your cat unique, and trust your instincts. And if your cat seems comfortable with the sitter during that first meeting, that's usually the best sign you've found the right fit.

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

I believe it's essential to recognize when a cat is feeling timid or anxious and to give them the time and space they need to adjust. When I enter a client's home, I approach calmly and quietly, respecting the cat's boundaries. If the cat is hiding or seems nervous, I focus on completing the daily chores first, softly talking to them so they can get used to my voice from a distance. I'll sit down quietly and invite the cat to come to me, but I never force contact — trust has to come at the cat's pace. My experience with the cats I've cared for, combined with working in an animal shelter and a veterinary office, has taught me that a cat's sense of safety and well-being is the most important factor—and the foundation for building trust. Patience and respect are key.

Anneliese communicated well and did a great job taking care of my kitty. She worked with me when my building's electronic access system had issues and made sure my cat was well taken care of.

Annaliese was attentive, caring and wonderful with my babies. She was very responsive, took great pictures and left me with a great deal of comfort that they were taken care of while I was gone. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

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 $28.00. 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.
