Learn More About Sandy
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love to meet new cats and the different quirks that come with every one of them. No two I’ve met are the same, and I enjoy getting to know their personalities and preferences. Caring for cats is a genuine passion of mine, and I’m dedicated to making your cat’s day at least a little happier with every visit!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a 7 year old marbled tabby named Sunny who is calm, loving and obedient. He loves being out on the balcony, especially when I am out with him! I also have a 1 year old orange tabby named Koda, who is intelligent, thrill-seeking and so cuddly. He is a bug-catching expert, and lives to play and eat wet food!
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I am from Northern Virginia, and my family lives here. I also work remotely, so I have pretty flexible hours.

Sandy did such a great job caring for our feisty Bengal cat Rose. We left her three pages (!) of details about caring for Rose and she followed our requests. She also very kindly shifted her schedule to accord with Rose’s routines, which she didn’t have to do but we really appreciated. I would absolutely ask Sandy again to take care of Rose.

Sandy did an exceptional job taking care of my shy cat Homer. Her daily updates and clever ways to stimulate my cat by leaving treats around the house were much appreciated! She followed my instructions perfectly, and my place was so clean and everything topped up for Homer when I came back. Will definitely use her again in the future! Thanks again for keeping my mind at ease while I was away. 🙏

This is my second time using Sandy and she was great! She even brought in some new cat food I ordered and put the packets in the fridge and freezer as directed. She does so well with my shy cat and she kept me up to date with photos and messages. Will definitely use her again!

Sandy was a real lifesaver, coming to me and my cat’s rescue over the holidays when my regular sitter was unavailable. She went the extra mile to draw out my shy kitty, and successfully gave her her inhaler treatment each day. I’ll be reaching out to Sandy again in the future!

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.
Saint Petersburg cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!

Sandy was awesome with our two kitties while we were gone for the holidays! She was able to be flexible and change her drop in time with us when we made a last minute change to our plans to come home a little earlier on our final day. Sandy was also great with our shy kitty, and we love getting updates and photos of our two girls!

Sandy was great taking care of my two kitties! my kitties are a little bougie and need wet food twice a day. Sandy was patient with my instructions and always provided suggestions for improvement. Her updates were fabulous and I appreciate all the photos she provided.

Sandy is incredibly kind and responsible. She will treat your cat(s) like her own -- and in my opinion, her cats are some of the most spoiled cats you can meet. She has a huge heart and loves cats. After her first visit, don't be surprised if your cat starts packing your bag for you.

Sandy is a wonderful friend and kitty caretaker. I sincerely trust her to watch over my cats, my home and just in general. She's respectful and considerate of others, all while maintaining a high level of professionalism. She will treat others' cats with same love and compassion that she gives her own cats and friends.
