My experience with cats begins with my own baby boy, Cosmos, who is one years old. I have previously cat sitt before for my neighbors two cats and I had such a blast! It has led me to wanting to continue my cat sitting journey so I can meet so many kitties! I like to conduct my cat visits by giving them space and time to acclimate and respecting their boundaries of touch or no touch. I have experience with cats of all personalities whether shy, cuddly, or a little standoffish. No matter what, I love any and all kitties! I have experience with applying medications such as ointment, eye/ear drops, and pills. What sets me apart from other sitters, is my dedication to learning and acquiring new knowledge about all cats!

Imani was a caring and committed sitter during my travels. She spent time making my kitties as happy as possible with my absence and really got to know them. One kitty got sick just before I left and then passed during my absence and Imani was so kind and caring about him. I cannot say enough good things about her good judgement and support. Imani is a great cat sitter. You will be glad you hired her

Imani did a fantastic job of keeping me in the loop about my cat and about the status of my apartment. She let me know about his energy levels, behavior, demeanor, and sent pictures/videos while I was away. She was responsive and was sure to ask questions if she had any!

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.

Alexandria cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
