Learn More About Annaliese

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

I adopted my first cat, Licorice, when I was a young girl, and I've been caring for cats ever since. I've fostered, helped friends with their cats, and always shared my home with one or more of my own. I began professional cat-sitting earlier this year as I'm shifting my career to working with cats full-time. I truly love it. Meeting new cats and giving their humans peace of mind is incredibly meaningful to me.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to meet new cats and reconnect with the ones I've cared for before. It's gratifying to walk into a client's home and be greeted by a cat who's excited to play, get some rubs, or enjoy a fresh meal. The shy ones, the curious observers, and the seniors are just as special. Some of my favorite moments are when a cat starts purring or seeks out attention, showing they feel happy and safe. I also love watching a cat curled up in a dreamlike sleep, paws twitching, or witnessing the gentle transformation of a shy cat slowly coming out to explore and check me out.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation so far has been caring for Leo. At our meet-and-greet, his pet parent was surprised when Leo came out of the back room to check me out. I sat on the floor to give him space and let him approach in his own time, which he did with curiosity. Since then, his trust has grown. When I arrive, he greets me with a soft purr and a gentle rub against my legs, and we move into whatever he's in the mood for, be it play, chin scratches, or food. Every cat is different, and I always adjust to their pace and personality, but there's a special sweetness in the way Leo and I have built our own little routine.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a striking black cat named Onyx, who often tears around the apartment like a wild leopard, bounding up and down her indoor cat tree. She came into my life nine months after I lost my 17-year-old cat, Nausicaa. At the time, I wasn't sure I was ready for another cat, but she needed a home, and it turns out I needed her, too. Onyx makes me laugh every day, keeps me company, and has a gentle, patient nature that reminds me how much cats can help us heal and feel understood.

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

My advice when hiring a cat sitter is to choose someone your cat feels safe with. Look for a sitter who is not only reliable but also genuinely understands cats and their tells. A great sitter will respect your cat's personality, whether they're playful, shy, or independent. Don’t hesitate to ask questions and share what makes your cat unique, such as their likes, dislikes, moods, or any special needs. Trust your instincts and watch how your cat responds during the first meeting. If they seem comfortable, that's usually the best sign you’ve found the right fit.

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

When I care for a timid or anxious cat, I move quietly as I prepare food, refresh water, and clean the litter box. Cats are naturally aware of their surroundings, and stress can make them even more sensitive to sound and movement. My own cat, Onyx, is especially sensitive, so I'm always mindful of the energy I bring into a home. I respect boundaries and never force a cat to interact or come out of hiding. Instead, I sit quietly and invite them with a soft voice, a treat, or a feathery toy, letting them choose if and when to engage.

Anneliese was absolutely wonderful! She followed all of my detailed instructions and made sure my senior cat got the care she needed while I was away. I really appreciated the frequent photo updates and message, it was clear Maeby was relaxed and in good hands. Since she’s a vet tech, I felt completely at ease knowing she could handle Maeby’s medication without stressing her out. I came home to a happy cat and a spotless house. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book her again!

This was the second time Annaliese took care of my cat. My cat is a senior with some chronic health conditions. Annaliese made sure she got her medication and when my cat had some behavior that was a little worrisome, updated me and made sure everything was ok before leaving and on future visits she made sure to send lots of reassuring updates and photos. Annaliese also left my place super clean and even helped out by putting my bins out on trash day since I wasn’t there to do it.

Annaliese provided excellent care for my 6 year old cat over a long weekend. Excellent comms, nice photos, some playtime, I would not hesitate to ask her back in the future. My kitty looked like she was comfortable and enjoyed herself while I was away.

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.
