I'm Annabelle

Cat Sitting in Washington, DC

Cats have always been a part of my life - one of the best parts! I have lived with a total of six cats in my life, and currently live with Toupou who's nearly 3 years old and has been with me since she was a kitten. She's a fiesty toirtoseshell who has made me work harder than any other cat to earn her trust and respect, which makes our bond that much sweeter!

When I'm not hanging with Toupou in my free time, I enjoy hiking, visiting museums, watching movies, cooking, and caring for my many plants...

When I'm not hanging with Toupou in my free time, I enjoy hiking, visiting museums, watching movies, cooking, and caring for my many plants.

Beyond my lived experiences with cats and schedule flexibility, I have a history of providing medical care to cats of different ages. I have aided in caring for my parent's elderly cat who requires oral and topical medications daily. I also provided care for my sweet cat Layla to keep her as comfortable as possible while she fought kidney failure.

I enjoy cat sitting for friends and family when they go out of town to help their cats feel as comfortable as possible in their absence. Let me help your cat feel comfortable too!

You can expect excellent care per your instructions, friendly customer service with quick communication, and thorough updates of your precious kitty or kitties!

I cannot say enough positive things about Annabelle. This was my first time using a professional cat sitter and Meowtel was a platform I hadn't heard of before so I didn't know what to expect. I was SO pleasantly surprised. She kept me updated with daily pictures and videos as well as a little write up of what was going on during their visit. She followed all of the directions perfectly and I was able to truly relax on my week vacation. Thank you SO MUCH Annabelle--you are the best!

Annabelle is so great for this! my shy cats love her, and she gets them to play and come get pets and handlers all food/med instructions great. She also takes the best pictures, when I show people pictures of my cats it usually ones she sent me that I saved! haha But really the pictures she takes really make you feel like your cats are fine and happy to help you enjoy your vacation just a little more not worrying about them.

Annabelle did a stellar job, as always! This was the first time we needed cat sitting with two cats (we just adopted a kitten) and Annabelle expertly balanced the needs of our adult cat and our kitten. The videos and photos were great, especially as we were away almost a week. Highly recommend!

Annabelle took such great care of my babies! She quickly made friends even with my skittish kitty, which was so impressice. I was anxious about leaving them for the first time and Annabelle provided fantastic updates that really soothed my nerves.

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!
