I'm Sydney
Cat Sitting in Tacoma, WA
My name is Sydney, I am a recent college graduate and a emergency veterinary assistant of 8 years. While I have years of working with cats of all types and sizes, I also have 2 cats. The first one’s name is Aurora and she is a 2 year old sphynx that I rescued after her breeder was deemed negligent, and Arlo a 1 year old orange domestic short hair.
My visits are typically driven and adjusted for you cat’s needs and wants. The first visit I spend quietly watching them with short interactions of play, snuggles and treats if they... Hi!

My visits are typically driven and adjusted for you cat’s needs and wants. The first visit I spend quietly watching them with short interactions of play, snuggles and treats if they allow! Wether your cats want to play with a wand toy, cuddle on the couch, or just talk to me while I talk back in cat voice I do all what they request!
You may have struggled with other sitters in the past with how they work (not sending pictures, not playing, and not respecting your cat’s space) but with me you can expect multiple pictures, extra long stays, and most importantly complete interaction in the way your furry friend wants!
The biggest rule I go by is “if the cat is not comfortable, I am not doing my job right”. You can rest assured, I will follow all instructions to the T and will make your family member feel like the most spoiled thing in the word while you are gone!
Bonus experience: I have pet sit for both feral, fosters, and friendly cats!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for 10 years… yes I know a long time, but I love it! I first started cat sitting for neighbors and friends, but for the last 6 years I have moved to a more professional approach!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy everything about cat sitting but if I had to choose my favorite part, it would be to make the pet and owner at ease. For pet owners, I understand how scary it is to leave your loved ones away while you gone, that’s why I ensure multiple pictures daily and quick responses for questions and updates. For the pets, the word is scary, and so is having to be alone while their family is gone. I absolutely love meeting cats for the first time to the end of the booking and all in between. Every step, every visit, and every feeding is meant to make the furry friend more comfortable and happy!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
My advice to any pet parents is to make sure you and your pet mesh well with the sitter. Does the sitter seem responsible? Do you get a strange vibe from them? Do your pets seem scared of them or open to the sitter? Cats are great at sensing people, so if your usually friendly cat to steangers dislikes the sitter, ask yourself “why?”. Same can be said for your usually timid cats, do they come out more then normal when meeting your sitter? If so, that’s a great sign!

Tacoma 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!
