Cat Sitting in Washington, DC

I am a lifelong cat girl and I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can be to travel and leave your babies behind. It’s so important to me to help your kitties feel secure, loved, nourished and played with so that you have total peace of mind while you’re away.

I am a lifelong cat girl and I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can be to travel and leave your babies behind. It’s so important to me to help your kitties feel secure, loved, nourished and played with so that you have total peace of mind while you’re away.

During our meet and greet I’ll take notes on your kitties routines, and needs, and how to keep their environment and your home safe while you’re away. I have a deaf cat and a cat with some health issues so I’m very comfortable supporting cats with special needs, and administering meds. I look forward to meeting you!

Learn More About Lindsay

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My kitties names are Chi Chi (named after Chani from Dune) and Dolly (named after Dolly Parton). Dolly is fully deaf, wild and full of love and Chi Chi is a leader, a love and a sensitive soul.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I will come by for a meet and greet, and take notes on your cats routines, needs and your home safety so that you have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always take attendance before leaving the home to make sure kitties are accounted for. I will always triple check doors, windows and locks before leaving and anything else you may have on your list. I’m an indoor cat mom and will prioritize safety of your kitties and your home.

Lindsay was an excellent cat sitter, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided while I was away. She was reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring with my cat. One thing I especially appreciated was that Lindsay sent me pictures and updates every day. Being able to see how my cat was doing gave me a lot of peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away without worrying. I came home to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for cat. I would absolutely recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and dependable pet sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I’m away. Thank you, Lindsay!

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!
