Learn More About Richard

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My wife and I needed a cat sitter for our cats. At the time, services such as this did not exist. We had a difficult time finding someone reliable. We went on our trip but could not fully relax because we were worried about our cats. I enjoy creating an atmosphere of trust with the owners so they can relax and have a good time. I also enjoy meeting the cat, making sure it is safe, the environment is clean and keeping the cat company so it experiences less anxiety. A purring cat is the most gratifying aspect.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I had one cat that was extremely fearful. The cat was always hiding when I arrived. I eventually gained the cats trust through various methods and the cat slowly began to appear. By the end of the visit, the cat would be sitting on my lap.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, three recues. Uma, Ernie and Teddy Gogo. Uma is Ernie's mother and Teddy Gogo just showed up at our home, skinny, scared and hungry. After 6 months of gaining his trust, he is now neutered and fully vaccinated. He is also very happy and has no interest in going outside. He prefers the plush indoor life.

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

I would tell them to find someone that is extremely responsible and dependible. This is your pet and your home you are entrusting to a stranger initially. They should be background checked and insured. They should be intelligent and have enough life experience to handle any emergencies that might come up. They should be strong communicators and find out all about the cat and any special needs or preferences the cat may have. Food, allergies, places to sleep, toys or blankets it likes and helps them feel secure. Also and it seems obvious, find someone that loves cats and it shows. The owner should feel 100% certain about the pet sitter. Trust your gut. There should be a meet and greet to ensure a good fit. A good pet sitter asks many questions to provide the best possible care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Snoqualmie cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $21.00. 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.
