I'm Lyba | Cat Sitting in Alexandria, VA

As a mom of two rescue cats, I’m an experienced and dedicated cat lover who’d love to take care of your cats! I understand that every cat has its unique personality, quirks, and needs, and I’m committed to providing personalized care and plenty of cuddles (if your cat’s into that!).

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

As someone with her own high maintenance kitties, cat sitting is such a rewarding way to help others out. Being able to leave your cats with someone and not worry about them is so important.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Pretzel and Luna! I adopted them from a rescue cat cafe and I have had them for 2 years now! When i got them they had so many problems and i nursed them to be healthy happy and extroverted babies!

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

My cat Luna was timid and anxious and i did an amazing job training her to become socialized. With cats like those, i find that respecting their space while slowly exposing them to things outside their boundaries. I would never ever try and rush a kitty like that, it would just traumatize them further.

We adore working with Lyba! She has taken care of our kitties a few times now and is always fun to work with, highly communicative, and someone we can really depend on. Our cats love her too!

Lyba took excellent care of our little furbabies while we were away over the holidays! She shared lots of photos, videos, and updates on how they were doing. We came back to two very happy kitties — thank you!!

Lyba was great with my less-than-friendly cats! They are Abyssinians and so can be standoffish. She got the female cat to share the couch with her and accept pets almost immediately. The male cat loves to hide upstairs (even from his owner!) and I spotted him on the first floor in one of her many photos!

Lyba is an amazing cat sitter who truly understands and loves cats!! She cared for my cat Greyson as if he were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate cat sitter!
