I'm Sophie
Cat Sitting in Washington, DC
I feel right at home around cats and pride myself on quickly understanding their individual quirks and preferences. Whether your cat loves pets, playtime, or just a calm presence, I’ll tailor each visit to their preference.
During each visit, I make su... Hi! I’m Sophie, based in Northwest D.C. I’ve had two cats of my own (Fred & Hank) for over four years, and I’ve cared for cats with a variety of personalities and needs over the years.
I feel right at home around cats and pride myself on quickly understanding their individual quirks and preferences. Whether your cat loves pets, playtime, or just a calm presence, I’ll tailor each visit to their preference.
During each visit, I make sure your cat gets the attention they need- whether that’s lots of pets, interactive play, or quiet company. As a cat owner, I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I always send a visit recap with photos and an update. I’m also highly responsive and happy to accommodate any special instructions.
I consider myself patient, observant, and reliable, and I promise your cat(s) will be in excellent hands while you’re away!
Learn More About Sophie
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love how unique each cat’s personality is, it’s so fun to meet a new cat and spend time with them!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 2 Siamese cats who are brothers named Fred & Hank. I adopted them from a rescue as kittens and they’re now 5 years old.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I always encourage a quick meet-and-greet beforehand- either in person or virtual, depending on your preference. While not required, it’s a great way for us to connect and for your cat to meet me with you around, especially if they tend to be on the shyer side.

Sophie is incredible and my cat loved her! She was very communicative, sent so many pictures, was very punctual, and made me feel so at ease while away! I highly recommend booking with her - my apartment was also spotless upon returning. Thank you, Sophie!

Sophie is an exceptional cat sitter who combines genuine care with reliability. Having known her for years, I've seen firsthand how attentive and loving she is with animals. She's thoughtful, responsible, and great at communicating updates. Whenever I return after Sophie has cared for my cat, Cinder never has a complaint (and she is quite talkative), which tells me Sophie must be doing something right! On top of that, my home is always left in great shape, and Cinder's food and water bowls are kept full and clean.

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 $26.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
