This is my first time cat sitting through an app, but I have previously cat sit through word of mouth in my apartment building.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy their presence and discovering the unique personalities they all have! Additionally, I greatly enjoy developing relationships with them and creating a strong bond of trust and safety.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes, my kitties name is Cosmos. He is one years old and he is a tuxedo cat. He enjoys hunting the pigeons on my balcony and yelling at me for wet food :)

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

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 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!

Imani is honestly a breath of fresh air. She’s super calm, super thoughtful, and always makes you feel like you’re her top priority. Even when things get stressful or tough, she handles it with such ease and kindness. It’s not just that she gets things done—she really listens and makes sure you feel understood. She’s the kind of person you can always count on to handle any situation with a smile and a level head

Imani deserves the highest ranking, however she is humble enough to know there is always room for improvement. If I were to open an animal shelter, I would hire Imani to oversee the facility and include her in the hiring process for interviewing other employees. I appreciate her opinion and her genuine concern and dedication in helping others.
