Hello!
My name is Ava and I am a pharmacist by day and cat mom of one by night!

I've been a cat sitter for friends for many years now (10+ years). My current cat is my very first one I have had on my own and I absolutely adore her. We have been together for 6 years now!!

I promise to take care of your cat like they are my own and make sure they are as happy and healthy as possible while you're enjoying your vacations!

I love meeting all kinds of cats and it's my goal to help out as many cat parents out there as I can and make sure you are completely at ease while away from your cuties❤️🤗

Learn More About Ava

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

When I visit homes I try to make sure they can't eat or get in any where that might be dangerous for them. Windows / doors are closed. If they're hiding I try to make sure I can at least see them just to make sure they are there and OK. Just as an extra precaution I also make sure I know the nearest pet emergency hospital (just in case!)

What is your favorite cat toy?

The lazer pointer followed up by a toy they can kick the living daylights out of! My cat loves this and it really gets all her zoomies out

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

Wait until they come to me! If they are the type that is shy or scared (which my cat is), I don't try to force anything and just be calm and quiet around them. Eventually they may warm up to me (or they may not and thats ok as long as they are doing ok with food and litter!)

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!
