Hi! I’m Virginia; a lifelong animal lover with a calm, patient presence and a big heart for cats. 🐾

I have a background in human development and psychology, which means I’m especially attentive to behavior, body language, and emotional needs; even the subtle ones. Whether your kitty is outgoing and playful or shy and slow to warm up, I meet them exactly where they are.

I understand that leaving your cat can be stressful. My goal is to provide consistent, gentle care so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, administer basic medications (if needed), keep litter boxes spotless, and send thorough updates with photos so you have peace of mind.

I have experience caring for animals with different temperaments and needs, and I pride myself on being dependable, respectful of your home, and communicative.

Your cat isn’t ā€œjust a petā€ā€¦ they’re family. I treat them that way. šŸ¤

Learn More About Virginia

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Every cat is different… the dramatic ones, the quiet observers, the chaotic zoomie queens. I love learning their quirks and what makes them feel safe and happy.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I do! I have an orange, fluffy girl named Aries. 🧔 She’s taught me so much about feline personalities, routines, and the importance of patience and play. Being a cat parent myself helps me truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby with someone — and I care for every kitty like I would my own.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is a classic fishing pole wand toy! šŸŽ£šŸ¾ I love how interactive it is; it lets cats tap into their natural hunting instincts while getting great exercise. It’s perfect for building trust with shy kitties and giving energetic ones a healthy outlet for all those zoomies. Plus, it’s so fun watching them stalk, pounce, and ā€œwinā€ their catch!

Virginia was great with our 4 cats! we hired her on short notice right before a 9 day trip. We could tell she spent a lot of time interacting with the cats because they weren’t mad at us when we got home (they usually are lol). We would absolutely recommend hiring Virginia!

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.

Olathe 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 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 Meet & Greet!
