Learn More About Ingri

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Definitely playing with them. I love sitting in the floor with them and petting them and if they are energetic I like to tire them out so they then have a nice meal and a nap.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have two cats. Their names are Sasha and Lucien. I adopted them with my husband in Alexandria 4 years ago. They have opposite personalities, one loves to be involved in everything that is happening and being pet while Sasha loves her personal space and a calm environment.

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

An in person meeting before your trip is an excellent idea. I offer it to all the catparents I visit. It allows them to know me in person before letting me into their house while they are away and also to see how I interact with their cats. Moreover, the most useful thing of those visits is that I get so much information on where you leave the food, cleaning supplies, their hiding spot, how your cats like to be approached, etc. This information usually would be difficult to get through text.

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

I usually visit them before they go to their trip, in that visit we cover everything on how to take care of their cat. While they are away I send them an update for every visit to let them know their cat is doing well and a few pictures of their cat, taken during the visit.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I will be available for the whole week of Thanksgiving and also for New Year's Eve. I will not be available for Christmas.

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

One of my cats, Sasha is super timid and anxious, as well as some of the cats I've visited. I approach them first by being quiet and calm as I know they do not like loud noises. Then I try to get their attention while they are in their hiding spot either with treats or with their favorite toy. If they get close, I let them smell my hands as that usually helps them to build trust. I do this slowly and it usually would take more than one visit for them to want to leave their hiding spot. But I think the key is patience, being calm and letting them approach me slowly.

Ingri was an amazing cat nanny! She took wonderful care of my cat, making sure she was happy and comfortable the whole time. She even went the extra mile by brushing her teeth, which I really appreciate. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was not only safe but also well-cared for. I’ll definitely rely on Ingri again whenever I need cat sitting in the future.

Ingri is one of the most reliable and caring people I know. She’s incredibly attentive to pets’ needs, gentle in her approach, and always respectful of routines and instructions. She treats every animal as if it were her own offering affection, patience, and thoughtful care. Whether it’s giving medication, providing comfort, or simply making sure a pet feels safe and at ease, Ingri goes above and beyond. I would trust her with my own pets without hesitation!

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 $25.00. 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.
