I'm Melissa | Cat Sitting in Vancouver, WA
I have worked in professional pet care for over 10 years, including dog daycare, dog walking, pet sitting (including overnights), and pet grooming. I have experience with medication distribution including pills, insulin injections, and topical ointments such as flea preventatives. During my many years of pet service, I have never encountered a problem with pets or clients I could not handle. If I could spend the rest of my life caring for various kitties every day, I'd be very happy. I've always lived with cats and have had a strong attachment to them. Every kitty has their unique charm. Earning a cat's trust and respect is always an honor. If I am out and I see a cat, I have to stop and say hi. I prefer their company over anyone else's. I was the mother of 4 cats for 12 years. Currently, I have Severus and Rowena who are 7 and 8 years old. I adopted these 2 delightful cats at separate shelters and they get along like litter mates. I am a full-time student at Clark C...
Melissa's Reviews
Brandy
Melissa had great communication with me. Although she never saw my super-shy kitties, she tried to coax them out each day she was here.
Kristy
Melissa did a wonderful job watching our seven cats! She got the shy ones to accept pets, and she played plenty with the less shy ones. It was great getting check ins from her and knowing our kids were well looked after.
Christine
Our cats are very skittish and shy. They panic and hide under the couch when anyone comes in the house. I was worried they would hide for a week and not eat while we were gone. Melissa watched the food and verified it was being eaten and litter boxes were being used. Melissa also spent time encouraging them and reaching out to them. By the end of the week one cat was coming out for play & pets and the other cat was wanting to be petted from her hiding spot. I think if we had been gone longer she would have come out. Melissa got my super shy cats to warm up to her, amazing!
Carmen

Frequently Asked Questions
Vancouver cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
