Learn More About Alexandra

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

I’ve been cat sitting since I was young, starting out by caring for the cats of friends and neighbors in my community. Since then, I’ve continued to offer cat sitting through college and medical school. Most recently, I cared for a 5 month old kitten for 21 days. I also hosted a juvenile cat in my college apartment for over a month. Each experience has helped me grow more confident in understanding cats’ individual personalities and routines.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love a feather wand! My own cats have always been obsessed with them, and it’s so much fun to run around and play when a kitty has some extra energy. It’s the perfect way to help them get their zoomies out while bonding through play!

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

My current family cat is quite anxious and has taught me a lot about adjusting my care and attention to his comfort level. I’m very mindful of a cat’s boundaries and understand when they need space. I have a real soft spot for shy or anxious cats and love earning their trust at their own pace!

Alexandra was great, Elsa immediately warmed up to her (which does not usually happen). Alexandra played with Elsa, brushed her, and kept her liter area tidy. she sent regular pics and updates, we felt very comfortable knowing Elsa was well cared for while we were on vacation! highly recommend Alexandra!

Alexandra is an exceptional cat sitter. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, always understanding my cat’s unique personality and keeping him happy and active. She goes above and beyond, handling little extra tasks like watering plants or bringing in mail while I’m away. I always feel completely confident leaving my cat in her care. She provides attentive, professional, and loving care that any pet owner would appreciate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Washington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
