Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

I absolutely adore cats and have experience (and am comfortable) with giving cats medication and subcutaneous injections (as long as the cat tolerates it). My previous cat (tuxedo, passed in 2025) required daily medication and a weekly injection. I have lots of experience cat sitting and love getting to know their individual quirks. I think they are the funniest (& most superior) animals and they bring me so much joy. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility and have a small radius of areas I am open to sitting so your pet is my priority.

Learn More About Chelsea

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know their individual quirks and personalities! I also love the instant reward of feeding them (when they are food motivated).

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! My cat, Zoey, is 6 and is a long haired dilute tortie. She is an absolute sweetheart, but is not a lap cat. She weighs over 13 pounds!

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

To set very specific, clear expectations of what you would like accomplished during my visit with as many details as possible. I am always happy to do a meet and greet before we proceed with booking, but if we don’t do a meet and greet, I’d love to know more about your cat’s personality. I also very much appreciate written instructions to refer to when in your home RE: food and meds.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, but am not available over Christmas and New Year’s as I am always out of state with family. If my availability is blocked off for a holiday, it likely means that I am traveling for work (or have other bookings). Additionally, I am typically not available for sits in September, October, much of February, March or April as this is when I am heavily traveling on business. If you are a returning client, please reach out as I am happy to accommodate you if I am home!

Chelsea took such good care of Marcel, I felt assured for our entire trip that he was in good hands. She was very attentive to his particular senior needs. We’re looking forward to working with Chelsea again in the future!

Chelsea is accommodating, responsible, communicative, funny, and kind! I'm so grateful I was able to meet her through this platform and have her be my cat nanny <3 I felt sad leaving my cat alone for a few days, but felt better knowing that Chelsea was showering Lily with love and attention.

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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
