Learn More About Lea
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I had a childhood cat named Romeo since I was 12! He was a long haired, flat face Persian so I completely understand maintenance. He has sadly passed away when I was 23, but he was one spoiled boy! I have a 2 year old boy now named Rauru, he is a domestic medium hair cat. He is super energetic and loves other cats!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I am very big on directions so I ensure I ask all kinds of questions to cat parents. Do they have a set amount they eat? Do I need to make sure they are not going into a certain area? Is there comands that said cat responds to or I must follow each time I feed/play? I want to make sure parents feel safe and comfortable to allow me the pleasure to care for their baby
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When I first adopted Rauru, he was very scared and shy. He was found in an antique shop at 3 months! I usually have the all time favorite churu and I allow said kitty to come to me. I show interest while holding a hand out to possibly sniff, but I ensure I don’t push the boundary. Sometimes just spending quality time with them helps them to realize I am there to be a friend.

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 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 Meet & Greet!
