I'm Annie
Cat Sitting in Washington, DC
I know how anxious both you and your fur child can get when youāre away from each other (iāve been there myself), so I try my best to make both of you feel reassured. I'll send as many photos as you'd like and respond ASAP. I'll take health and safety precautions and can mask up if you prefer.
Iāll follow routines closely (meals and treats, walks, playtime and toys, etc... I'm Annie (also Yuehan)! Hello to all proud cat parents~ Iām a fellow cat mom. Though in this current phase of life she's enjoying time with grandma š I've fostered ranging from kittens to older cats and am comfortable administering eye drops and oral medication.

Iāll follow routines closely (meals and treats, walks, playtime and toys, etc.) and keep a close eye to see if anything is out of the ordinary based on what youāve told me. I also want to respect your home and space so Iāll leave it as tidy as it was when I entered š
Playtime will be adjusted to your cat's personality and preferences :) Will also be open to cuddles if they are comfortable with it. Keeping your pet active, happy, and satisfied is my goal!
I am luckily a fully remote freelance designer, so I have the availability to do drop-ins any time of the day or house sit any time of the week.
Please let me know any things particular to your pet so that I can care for them to my best ability!
āØSome helpful things to know:
- if your cat is easily startled (by noises, opening doors, running water, etc.)
- if your cat is currently taking any medications
- if they take a while to open up to a new person
- anything else no matter how small :)
Learn More About Annie
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Itās such an amazing feeling to earn a catās trust. They are such precious creatures and I love getting to know each catās personality because they are all so different! It brings me a lot of joy and peace to provide a comfortable and safe space for them while their family is away. Watching them come out of their shell and accept my care is one of the most rewarding things.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a fur baby named Maomi ā¤ļø She has a white coat and my family got her almost 10 years ago. Itās hard to accept that sheās that old because sheās just a baby in my eyes. She helped me through a lot during my teenage years and I donāt think she even knows it. I hope she lives 100 more years š
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When entering the home, I come in slowly and talk to them in a gentle, high-pitched voice. I usually try to get low to the ground by crouching or sitting on the floor so that they feel less intimidated. Then I let me smell me, and if they rub themselves onto my hand, I will slowly pet them. If they turn away, Iāll sit for a bit more and talk to them, refill food and water and clean their litter in a quiet and calm manner. Then Iāll come back to them to let them sniff again, and just let them get more familiar with my presence. Often times a toy or some treats will help them engage with me, but I will never push them out of their comfort zone. Itās common for kitties become anxious when meeting someone new, so I try my best to make them feel safe!

Annie was absolutely phenomenal - I truly canāt recommend her highly enough!! This was my first time using Meowtel for my two ~8-month-old kittens, and she made the entire experience completely stress-free. She stayed at my home and spent a lot of quality time with them, which was super important to me since theyāre very social and used to me working from home. It was clear from her updates that they werenāt just being āchecked on,ā but genuinely cared for, played with, and kept company. Annie sent frequent, thoughtful (and often hilarious!) updates with lots of photos and videos of the three of them having a blast, which gave me SO much peace of mind! She was paying attention to their personalities, and it was obvious that my two babies adored her too, even my shy one! She also took great care of my home and left everything in perfect condition. Iāve already booked Annie again for my next work trip! She's incredibly kind, reliable, responsive, and clearly loves engaging with cats - all the qualities you want in someone you trust with your beloved pets.

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.
Washington 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!

I have trusted Yuehan to care for my cats for over 10 years, and I honestly canāt imagine a better cat sitter. Over that time, Iāve had both an older cat (who has since passed and is now with the angels) and a younger one. My older one was more anxious and needed a gentle caretaker whereas my kitten is a lot more playful/rowdy. Yuehan has been wonderful with both! My older cat required daily oral medication and could sometimes be fussy about it but Yuehan handled it calmly, confidently, and with so much care. I always felt completely at ease knowing my cats were not only being looked after, but genuinely cared for. Yuehan is incredibly attentive, patient, and intuitive with cats. Iāve always returned home to my babies very happy, and that peace of mind is priceless.
