April helped in a pinch when our previous sitter had to cancel while we were already on our vacation. She even went and got our key from the other sitter. She was very thorough and sent lots of pictures of our kitty baby. I'm so grateful so was able to help out and take such good care of our kitty. Thank you so much!

April was awesome! She took expert care of our cat, Fred. She visited with her, sent us frequent updates, and kept Fred happy. We were really concerned about leaving her, but Fred seemed to really take to April. It really was a load off of our minds knowing that our cat was being cared for in our absence. Fred was abandoned and semi-feral when we took her in, and April hit it out of the park with how she was able to gain Fred's trust so quickly.

I found April because my cat sitter bailed on me the day I flew out of town. April was quick to respond and relieve my worries about my kitten being home alone. She took care of my baby Elia and I came home to a happy welcoming kitty 😺 Thank you April, you're a life saver!! I'd definitely book her again!

April did an amazing job, and we highly recommend you put your concerns at rest when hiring her to watch your babies! April is prompt, responsive, and a consummate professional. She is an intuitive cat lover. We have one cat who is super loving, and another who is a little stand-offish when meeting a new person, and she had the best way of meeting their individual needs, even as that changed day by day.

April is the best! We can’t recommend her enough. Our cats are notoriously tough to please and very skiddish of strangers. She won them over and we are so happy to have her. The worry of leaving your pets behind while gone is never a concern when you have her taking care of them.

Thank you for your kind words, Candy. It was my pleasure to care for Thomas, Slyth, Ally, and shy Noah. We had a wonderful time together on our staycation while you were away.

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.
Spanaway cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!

April made us feel like our cats were in great hands. We got helpful and encouraging updates the whole time and she even got our shy cat to come out! We came home to some happy little girls and now we're using April every time.
