Learn More About Virginia

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been cat sitting for friends and family for about 8 years, fostering for 5, and sitting on meowtel for over 3

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to meet and pet so many new cats! They all have such different personalities so it's always lots of fun

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My parents have 2 cats from the same litter who we got while I was in high school and I try to see them as much as possible :) i named them Wally and Fido after the 2 dogs in a bedtime story that my dad would always tell - The Adventures of Wally and Fido

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

Enter the space really calmly and give the cats lots of time and space to get used to me before trying to initiate contact.

My cat was suddenly being a little difficult taking her medication and Virginia was super adaptable and made sure Hermie got her pills every night! She was also proactive and made sure that she had all of the information she needed ahead of the visit. Can’t recommend her enough !

Our cat had a great time with Virginia. She was very attentive to our kitty’s needs, gave her lots of playtime, and snuggled when our cat preferred to keep it lowkey.

Virginia was amazing with my kitty Salem❤️ She was so caring, reliable, communicative and took care of all of the detailed elements of his care with ease. Salem loved her (and he’s pretty picky haha) & I felt such peace of mind while she was there. Looking forward to booking with her again!

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.

Brooklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
