I'm Sijin | Cat Sitting in Washington, DC

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The most rewarding aspect of cat sitting for me is building trust with every cat and witnessing a cat's transformation from guarded to trusting. Every cat has their quirks and preferences, and it's a joy to discover what connects with them. Whether it's active playtime or a quiet moment of shared companionship, those connections are truly special. It takes patience and respect for their individuality, but the moment a kitty relaxes and solicits attention, whether through playful swats or a rumbling purr, is pure magic. It's a privilege to be entrusted with their care and witness their unique personalities blossom.

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

I understand that kitties can get anxious, especially when their routines are disrupted. I strive to create a calm environment by giving your pet the space they need while ensuring that they get the best care possible: -I’ll maintain a consistent routine for feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning to minimize surprises. -I’ll respect your cat's boundaries and let them approach me on their own terms. -I'll use gentle petting, calming words, and treats to build trust.

Our cat sitter cancelled at the last minute, and we took a leap of faith with Meowtel. Sijin was the perfect caretaker for our kitty! She was prompt, detailed, and sent lots of pictures. We could breathe easy knowing our boy was in the best hands!

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. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $28.00. 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.
