I'm Ernesto
Cat Sitting in Washington, DC
She was a little crazy but super sweet independent cat.
She was the little princess of our family, but she was also the boss at home! Unfortunately she got too old and she is gone now. I don’t really want to have a cat myself anymore because I like to travel a lot, but I would love to share some time with them, they are ... I was never a cat person until my sister brought a cat home a while ago (Siamese). We called it Cleo!

I like to do outdoors activities, travel, bike, excercise
I work in finance full time, but I like to balance my job with extra activities that fill me, and hopeaking care of your cat becomes one. Busy schedule with work, but there is always time for pet love!
Hope I can support families when they don’t have time to take care of their pets, because seems like a win win relationship

I would definitely leave my cat with Ernesto again! He was responsive, sent photos every day, and was able to get my very shy cat to come out and cuddle!

Ernesto is so great to work with! Super responsive, flexible and trustworthy. He helped me with my cat who just recently started a new medicine regimen and put my mind at ease — he even had prior knowledge about the medicine my cat needed! And, his photos and updates were always fun and kind.

Highly recommend working with Ernesto! it was my first time using an app-sitter for my cat, Mia. Ernesto was super helpful giving recommendations as I navigated the options. He was incredibly responsive, shared regular updates, and ultimately Mia loved him! It made going away so much easier knowing she was in great hands. Thank you!!!

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!

Ernesto was an excellent cat sitter. He kindly agreed to watch our two cats after our other cat sitter cancelled at the last minute. He was flexible, understanding and very professional. He did a great job with the kitties, going above and beyond what we asked him to do. Highly recommend.
