My name is Riley and I’m the proud mom of 3 beautiful tabbies: Sybil, Posey, and Penelope. I’m an animal lover through and through and my girls are the lights of my life. I’m excited to help care for yours!
I’m comfortable in both single cat and multi cat environments with felines of any age. I have experience administering medicines if your baby needs a little extra care. I understand the importance of routine and preferences, so I am more than willing to keep your cat on their unique schedule. I’m willing to adapt to each kitty’s personality and make sure that they’re as comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. Regardless of how loving or spicy your cat may be, I’m happy to meet and care for them.
I’m looking forward to meeting with you to keep your kitty happy while you’re away!
Learn More About Riley
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
Aside from having my own cats for almost two years, I’ve cared for a few of my friends’ cats. I’ve checked in for as little as a single day to checking multiple times a day for over two weeks.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My girls are Sybil (2), Posey (2), and Penelope (5). All three are rescues, with Sybil and Posey coming from a shelter and Penelope walking in off the street!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I try to make myself visible without being intimidating or overwhelming. I want the cat to know I’m present but harmless. Sometimes I offer treats, pets, favorite toys, but I always let the cat come to me when they’re comfortable.

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!
