My pronouns are they/them/theirs I specialize in working with historically marginalized communities, with an emphasis on low-income and LGBTQIA+ people. If cost is a barrier to your kitties getting love and care in your absence, please reach out to discuss options. I have felt a deep connection to cats as companion animals throughout my life, starting by wanting to be a cat when I grew up 😸. I cared for many cats growing up, and as an adult I cared for my 3-legged boy - Stitch - for 3 years. My friends have trusted me as their cat & house sitter for an elderly (medicated) tripod cat, and also to come soothe and locate their cats who were hiding during a house flood. As a pet sitter I understand cats' needs for both routine and novelty. I have enjoyed volunteering doing trap-neuter-release, reading about cat behavior & communicatio...

Calvin's Reviews
Amy
Another great visit from Calvin! He is our go-to cat sitter. He is thoughtful and caring.
Jean
Calvin was excellent with the kitties and great attention to detail
Bre
Calvin took such good care of our babies the first time that we were happy to have them back again. They are clearly a cat person and attended to our two cats’ individual needs and differing preferences for playtime and pets. We came home to two very well taken care of boys and the trash taken out! Would book with Calvin again in a heartbeat.
Bre
Calvin took such good care of our two cats while we were away. They are clearly a cat person and when we came back we could tell that the boys had been well taken care of. They were very quick to respond and also took out our trash! We will be happy to rebook with Calvin anytime.
Simone
Calvin is an absolute gem and we are so pleased to have connected with them. We have 4 very shy kitties (as we don't have many visitors), and one their very first visit they had contact with 2 of the 4. By day two, two of the four had a new human best friend and the other two were interested. Such a win for the cats and for us! Timely and professional responses, updates and a lot of care went into making sure the cats were fed and loved on during each visit. Cannot recommend Calvin enough!

Frequently Asked Questions
Tacoma cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
