I'm Emily | Cat Sitting in Washington, DC

Hi! My name is Emily and I’m a recent college graduate and employee in the National Press Building. I grew up around cats my entire childhood. My family fostered constantly plus had one of our own, and I’ve always loved them. In high school, I was the catsitter of the town, so I have many references and valuable experience with cats of many kinds! I love taking care of these special beings and giving them the love, play, admiration, and treats they deserve, and I truly believe there is no animal more special. My approach to meeting new cats always consists of getting one their level and reaching out my hand for a sniff. Once they feel comfortable, a scratch ...

Learn More About Emily

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new kitties. I have been called an animal-whisperer before, and it seems that most animals like me and open up to me upon first meeting. I love seeing my cat-whispering skills in action when I am cat sitting - I most enjoy just hanging out, playing, and giving love to cats!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Don't hesitate to send a message with questions before booking anyone! Whether it's questions about the cat sitter themselves, their cat-sitting style, or even asking for references, it's always valuable to reach out and ensure that you are comfortable with the person coming to take care of your cat/s.

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

I always make it known to them that I am there by seeking them out - even if they're hiding under a bed, I'll go say hi just so they know that I'm in the house, but I won't bother them or make them come out from their hiding place. I might play with a toy near them or stretch my hand to be smelled, but I am never forceful - I know and respect that cats need their own space!

Emily did a fantastic job caring for my two kitties while my husband and I escaped for some much needed vacation time last week. I am always a little nervous about leaving the fur babies but after meeting Emily, I knew they would be in excellent hands. And they were ! She takes her job seriously, is a true animal lover and has great attention to detail. She kept in contact with me at each visit, sent pictures and updated info. I could relax and they were happy, contented kitties when we returned. We look forward to having her care for them on our next trip. Great job, Emily !

Emily was an excellent communicator while I was away. She sent me daily updates on my cat Toby and ensured that he was well taken care of and well loved. I’m sure that he did not even realize that I was gone! If I had to leave for a trip again, I would 100% contact Emily again!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

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 $29.00. 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.
