Cat Sitting in Alexandria, VA

I am one of those lucky people who both love cats and can get shy cats to love me back. I’ve had my own cats for over 10 years and have been pet sitting over the past year.

I am one of those lucky people who both love cats and can get shy cats to love me back. I’ve had my own cats for over 10 years and have been pet sitting over the past year. Every cat has a different personality, so I meet them where they are. Sometimes that means play or cuddles, and sometimes it’s just sitting in the same room. I fall in love with every cat I meet and treat them with the same respect and affection as my own. I usually start each visit with mealtime, which helps us bond, and then we’ll hang out before cleaning up the litter box and other tasks.

I am Fear Free and pet first aid certified.

Learn More About Rebecca

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a calico named Bogart (yes, she has the attitude!), and a tabby named Trelane. They are both lap cats and sometimes they even sit on me at the same time (living the dream!).

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am generally available during holidays. I love to spend the holidays with adorable kitties! Advance notice for holidays bookings is preferred

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

Sometimes I will read out loud so that a shy cat can still feel that someone is there. I will often spend time in the same room but not try to engage shy kitty until they come explore and give me a sniff or head rub.

Rebecca is truly a gem! From our initial messages, the M&G, and the entire booking - it was abundantly clear that we were in excellent hands! Rebecca was very responsive at all times and so kind to me as a human in addition to being JackJack’s mom. I found myself looking forward to the updates (so many pics!) not just as an anxious cat mom 🙋🏼‍♀️but also to see how much my JackJack was loving his time with Rebecca. Every update told me everything I needed and also kept me connected and reassured. I was also able to make a small edit to the visit schedule based on Rebecca’s updates, and I love that we were able to adjust in real time to best support JackJack. I will definitely be booking with Rebecca again!

Rebecca is absolutely fantastic!! She was very patient with my sassy/shy cat and eventually won her over! Rebecca was extremely responsive and detailed in her work and always sent plenty of updates and pictures of my cat while I was gone. I will be booking Rebecca in the future and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a patient, kind sitter! Especially if you have finicky cats :)

Rebecca was great! We really appreciated the love and care for our fur babies during her visit. They were clearly not only not hiding or stressed but engaged and enjoying the company. Rebecca followed all instructions from what we can tell and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing everything was handled.

I have total peace of mind knowing that Rebecca is caring for my two cats while I’m gone. On my last trip I was gone for over a week and she kept me informed of how my babies were doing every day. She sent me pictures and also messaged me during every visit. Rebecca has such a kind and warm energy, my cats felt very comfortable with her. She is very responsible and polite. And I had not issues whatsoever while i was gone. She communicates often which is fantastic. I’m so happy to have found her! So, once again, thank you Rebecca for caring for my babies!

Rebecca was so wonderful with my cat! I was nervous about having a cat sitter because my cat can be kind of a jerk sometimes, but Rebecca let my cat take the lead and he ended up wanting all the love and attention every time she visited. Rebecca provided notes and pictures from every visit and put me at ease knowing that my cat was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely book Rebecca again and recommend her to my friends!

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!
