Learn More About Zephyr

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

I have been cat sitting for over 20 years, and have been professionally full-time sitting for 3 years. I have worked with hundreds of cats over thousands of visits.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy the cuddles the most. My favorite cats climb up on my chest and purr so sweetly. I also really enjoy getting a shy cat to warm up.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three kitties in my home, Niko, Tarot, and Angel.

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

Take the time to make sure you and your sitter are a good match for each other. Cat-sitters take care of not only one of your family members, but one of your most important assets, your home. Take the time to find someone you trust to get the job done the way you prefer.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I require one meet & greet prior to taking care of your cat for the first time, which I offer free of charge. I prefer to do these in-person so that in addition to understanding your specific needs, I can be shown where things are located, do a key exchange (if applicable), and potentially meet your cat(s). Please do not force an introduction if your cat is shy or unwilling. I have an intake questionnaire to get to know how I can best take care of your cats! I prefer weekday meet & greets, as weekends are especially busy.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always am careful when coming into a home for “escape artists”. I pay attention to all windows, and make sure to lock and check doors when leaving. Please let me know if I should expect anyone else on the premises- housekeepers, gardeners, contractors, nannies, additional care-takers, or otherwise.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I work every federal holiday. I generally work 7-days a week, and try to make myself as available as possible, especially for my regular clients. If I do plan to take time off, I will put it in the top of my bio, well in advance.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My top 3 toys would be laser pointers, teaser wand toys, and this automatic rolling toy I have that cats go wild for!

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

I am a firm believer of respecting a cat’s boundaries. If a cat is shy, I may let them sniff my glasses so they can become familiar with my scent. Giving high-reward treats or wet food is a quick way to become a cats best friend. Cats forget to be scared when they are in “hunt mode”, so I regularly bring a laser pointer to meet a new cat. I sometimes use pheromones as well. I always let a cat come out and warm up to me in their own time.

I can’t say enough good things about Zephyr. I was very worried about leaving my kitten Medli, but after I got my first update from them I knew Medli was going to be well taken care of. Medli loved Zephyr and started greeting them every day, even crawling up on their lap to give them kisses. My Furbo captured Zephyr talking, singing, and loving on Medli so sweetly. Zephyr also provided detailed updates and photos of her bowls, litter box, and daily activities. They retrieved an unexpected package for me and dealt with me being a worried cat parent. The family I was visiting even gushed with me about how good they were with Medli. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Zephyr again and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a sweet cat sitter.

This was my fourth reservation with Neil. He was originally scheduled to watch my two boys for 3 days while I was in California for a long weekend. Then I received news that my father passed away and I was needed in Ohio. Neil graciously let me extend my reservation THREE times and was so kind about playing it by ear the entire time. He takes GREAT care of my two cats, provides fantastic daily updates, and is so quick to respond to anything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Neil is awesome—he was friendly, punctual, thorough, and responsive to my messages. Neil even brings his own toys for the cats! I know I can trust him when even my timid cat would come out to hang out with him.

We’ve booked with Neil several times which have all been great experiences, always super responsive and reliable. We had a minor emergency this booking and Neil was on it for us within 10 minutes of being notified even though it was almost 10pm! Can’t recommend Neil enough. Best cat sitter in Seattle for sure!

Neil was fantastic! He sent me a daily, detailed update that included notes on what he did, how the boys were, and pictures of my babies, as well as their replenished food and clean litter. I was gone for about two weeks and those updates made me feel so much better about leaving my boys at home.

Neil has been the best cat sitter I've ever had by far! He is very organized and after our initial consultation visit, made me feel very confident that my kitties would be in good hands. He arranged apartment key pick up and drops offs with lockboxes that were easy and convenient, as well as secure. (something I appreciate, having had issues with other cat sitters and keys in the past!) Neil gave thorough reviews of each visit with a small writeup of what he did, the condition of the kitties, and a healthy handful of photos showing kitty snuggle time and food/ water/ litter box conditions. His services are affordably priced (and if you're a first time customer of his, make sure to get the discount code!), with options for mail/ package pick up too (convenient for packages left in lobbies while away). These are the calmest kitties I've returned home to :) I will definitely be using Neil for any future cat sitting needs and highly recommend him!

Neil was truly the best cat sitter I have ever had, I’m a little picky and he seriously remembered every detail. He went way above and beyond to keep everything spotless and updated me on everything. I typically come home to an upset cat and this time Ginger was super relaxed and happy. Thank you!!

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 $29.00. 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.
