Caroline's Cat Sitting

I'm Caroline

Cat Sitting in Tacoma, WA

Hello, my name is Caroline, and I've been blessed to own cats my whole life. I grew up with 2 family cats and from a young age became a go-to cat sitter for friends and acquaintances. Within the past few years, I've learned much more about cat care from taking care of two aging cats with health concerns, including administering pills and different kinds of medication. Now as an adult, I have a cat of my own, Dory, who requires special care due to her weight, but I love her dearly and taking care of her is a joy. I also enjoy being an active aunt to my sister's cats, Tuna and Nutmeg... Hello, my name is Caroline, and I've been blessed to own cats my whole life. I grew up with 2 family cats and from a young age became a go-to cat sitter for friends and acquaintances. Within the past few years, I've learned much more about cat care from taking care of two aging cats with health concerns, including administering pills and different kinds of medication. Now as an adult, I have a cat of my own, Dory, who requires special care due to her weight, but I love her dearly and taking care of her is a joy. I also enjoy being an active aunt to my sister's cats, Tuna and Nutmeg.

I currently live in Tacoma, WA and since I have access to a car I am able to service any neighborhoods in the area. Outside of cat-sitting, I work in marketing full time, but my flexible schedule allows me to do morning, midday, or evening visits any day of the week!
I am also fully vaccinated and am willing to wear a mask while visiting your home.

I understand the anxiety of being away from your pet, so I am more than happy to send photos and give updates about how your cat is doing! I want this to be the best experience possible for not only you but also for your cat, so whatever their temperament, I will be there to give them what they need, whether that's love and attention or patience and space.

Learn More About Caroline

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

I have watched the cats of friends and neighbors all my life, and started in a professional capacity in 2022 when I moved to Asheville, NC. It has been a great experience since then, and I have never met a cat I didn’t love. I now live in Tacoma, WA, and have really enjoyed getting to know even more wonderful cats.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one kitty named Dorothy (aka Dory). She enjoys cuddling, looking out the window, and sitting in boxes! I also live with 2 other cats, Tuna and Nutmeg. They like to get into trouble sometimes, but will make up for it with cuddles.

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

In my experience, time and patience are the best approach with timid or anxious cats. I try to spend time in proximity to them and allow them to learn that I am safe and won't cross their boundaries. Some cats may never be 100% comfortable with me, but that is okay- I just try to verify they are doing fine and let them be themselves.

Caroline took care of my four cats for a week (including Christmas Eve - Christmas Day) and did a fantastic job! She provided routine updates and photos which is comforting when you are out of town. Next time I am out of town I'll be reaching out again! Highly recommended!

Caroline was an excellent sitter for our cat Theo! She gave daily updates and photos and when we got back from our trip, we could definitely tell Theo had been well cared for. We would definitely use Caroline’s services again if we need to travel out of town.

Caroline is great! She always checks to make sure my scaredy cat is safely under the bed when she comes to feed them. I appreciate the pictures of him under there along with the ones of my much more social cat who is anxiously awaiting her wet food.

Caroline took excellent care of our cat! She sent daily updates, so we never had to worry. We have a senior cat who doesn’t like everyone l, but I could tell he liked her because he was happy when we got home, and it seemed like he had been eating and grooming consistently while we were away. We will definitely ask her to cat sit again.

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.

Tacoma cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
