Cat Sitting in Washington, DC

I grew up with a menagerie of animals, but my cats always had my heart! I began volunteering at my local Humane Society as a teenager and continued my volunteer work for over twenty years, specializing in cats and rabbits. I have experience caring for senior cats & currently live with two black & white American Shorthairs named Streets... I grew up with a menagerie of animals, but my cats always had my heart! I began volunteering at my local Humane Society as a teenager and continued my volunteer work for over twenty years, specializing in cats and rabbits. I have experience caring for senior cats & currently live with two black & white American Shorthairs named Streets & Parks. I love getting to know the personalities and interests of the cats in my care, offering them play, cuddles, treats or just lots of space! I’m knowledgeable about cat behavior, nutrition and common health issues. I’m local to the Adams Morgan/Woodley Park area and look forward to meeting my feline neighbors (and their owners!)

I’ve owned and cared for cats my entire life. I began pet sitting in middle school, so I have 30+ years of experience.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I most enjoy meeting new cats! I really love getting to know their unique personalities by discovering what makes them feel most safe and loved.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The Cat Dancer! Whoever decided to put cardboard on a wire to create this simple, but magical, toy is my personal hero. My cats love it!

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 $27.00. 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!
