I'm Kate

Cat Sitting in Alexandria, VA

I’m a huge animal lover who grew up with cats- Cry Baby and Pretty Kitty! I believe every cat deserves lots of love, attention, playtime, and pets! Whether your kitty is a social butterfly who wants constant attention or a little introvert who prefers to observe from across the room, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are.

I’ll keep up with their normal routine, make sure they’re fed...
I’m a huge animal lover who grew up with cats- Cry Baby and Pretty Kitty! I believe every cat deserves lots of love, attention, playtime, and pets! Whether your kitty is a social butterfly who wants constant attention or a little introvert who prefers to observe from across the room, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are.

I’ll keep up with their normal routine, make sure they’re fed and happy, and give them plenty of playtime, pets, cuddles, or personal space depending on their mood. And I’m absolutely the type of sitter who will happily send you adorable photo updates while you’re away.

I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their kitty is being cared for, loved, and spoiled while they’re away. I’d be so excited to meet your cat and chat through specifics!

Learn More About Kate

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

When the cat finally warms up to me! I love watching them build comfort throughout visits, learn my voice, and not run when I enter. When they approach me for pets and cuddles on the couch that’s even better!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do not have kitties right now, but I grew up with two kitties- Cry Baby and Pretty Kitty! That’s where my love for cats started.

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!
