I'm Rye | Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

Greetings fellow cat parents! My name is Rye and I think cats are the purr-fect companions! Where would we be without them? My 2 kitties are certainly a hugely important part of my life. They are skilled at reading emotions, showing love and simply provide a comforting and energetic presence in our home. My favorite part of cat sitting is getting to know the unique and diverse personalities of all the cats I meet. I enjoy quality time spent with cats and will ensure your kitty is well cared for. I have helped raise a number of cats since I was a child and currently have 2 kitties of my own at home. Nala, age 6, my partner and I have had since she was a kitten. She has a strong and goofy personality but a big heart and a social spirit! Izzy, age 2 years, we have had since she was a kitten too. She didn't have much of a mom presence in her life, so she is still learning cat social skills. She is very snuggly while also having endless energy! I work as a freelance sign language (ASL) interpreter as my main job and have a flexible schedule. If my schedule doesn't...

This was the first time I ever hired a cat sitter, and Rye really went above and beyond to make it a great experience!! Getting daily photos and videos of my Sunny gave me so much peace of mind, they took great care of him and my home, and I couldn't be happier! :)

Rye is an exceptional catsitter and shy cat charmer. My cat is very shy towards new people and tends to hide but Rye was able to befriend her and play with her while I was away! Rye was also extremely great with providing lots of updates and photos with visit details. I would absolutely recommend Rye to catsit for anyone who has shy cats and in general!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
