Learn More About Kandice

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

I am an experienced veterinary assistant and have been in the field for over 10 years now. I have been pet sitting for about 8 years, and have experience with all kinds of personalities of cats (and dogs), but creating a calm environment is key to a good relationship with your pet.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know each cat individually. Just like humans, every animal is different and has different needs or likes/dislikes. Once I build that relationship with your cat and they grow to trust me, it is the best feeling in the world to me:)

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Jones is a diabetic cat who doesn't like anybody, but Jones loves me. Winning his love and affection was a huge success for me, and I am now one of his favorite friends.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one cat who's name is Princess Isadora Rose, and she is a 3-legged himalayan mix who gets whatever she wants. I also have an inherited Siamese mix boy (boyfriend's cat) named Thor.

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

Cats know cat people!! Most cats have good instincts on people and that is a good indication on what kind of person/sitter they are.

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

Meet and greet at first, meeting the cat and learning their daily lifestyle and routines. Keeping a calm environment to not scare the cat or try to have too "big" or a personality at first, letting them know I'm a safe space..and of course lots of cookies and churu if owners allow.

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

Safety and security is my #1 priority for not only myself but for the pets as well. Nobody likes to feel unsafe, so ensuring an environment that is protected for everyone is key. I give the cats their space and they can come around me as they want to, we have snuggle sessions but if they are tired of me I don't force them to be where they don't want to be. As a guest in their house, I will respect them and their rules/wishes.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I work a full-time job during the week, and have the opportunity to work holidays as needed but I will be available during all major holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is either bouncy balls or a "wand" with an attachment at the end such as felt or a toy. I love these because it gives the opportunity to bond with the cat while interacting and still having a fun playtime for everyone.

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

Some cats can take a while to warm up to a new person, so I like to be in their presence and let them know that I'm available or around if they are interested. I'll usually have some snacks or treats to offer if they want some, but I try to give them their space, talk sweet to them, and let them know that I'm not a scary person.

Kandice is an excellent Catsitter. She connects with cats easily, always does what she commits to and is respectful of our home. And our cats adore her (and they don’t like everyone)! I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone who needs a Catsitter.

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.
