I love to spend time with my cat and I am excited to get to know your cat! I am fully available to have an introduction with your cats to allow them to become comfortable and answer any questions you may have. I will treat each cat with respect and care, because just like my cats, they are an important member of your family. I have experience with taking care of multiple cats and can handle special instructions for each cat with ease. I hope to spend time during my visits not only refreshing their food, water, and litter box; but also giving them the attention they may need. I love playtime with the cats and pets and cuddles as well. I know it is a lot to trust your loved one to someone else to take care of, but I will do everything in my power to be the best caregiver to your cats while you are away. Please feel free to ask any questions or concerns you may have. And tell your cats I said pspspspspsps 🤗

Learn More About Aniqa

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have cat sat for friends over long periods of time. That includes either staying at their place of residence for that time or making twice daily trips to care for the cats.

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

Having all important care instructions and emergence numbers with me during every visit is important. I know families will have their preferences on how they would like me to enter the house and lock up each time. I know it’s also important for cat door hygiene to be entering doors they know not to go through or being aware of cats that may like to escape when doors are opened.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available during most holidays, but definetly available during Christmas and the New Year. I am also in town during school holidays as well.

if you ever need a sitter for your cat, I highly recommend Aniqa . My cat Mowgli warmed up to her the very first time meet & greet. Aniqa was very punctual , caring , responsible . Aniqa kept my place nice and clean. One time my cat threw up, Aniqa cleaned up my carpet perfectly . she spent time with my cat, petting, gave him loves like her owns. I am extremely happy with everything Aniqa did for my cat during 3 weeks I was out of the country. Aniqa updated me after every visit with my cat, she sent pictures or video of that day, that’s very thoughtful , also felt good knowing your cat is in good hand. Thank you so much again Aniqa for great service that you provided .

We went away for two weeks and Aniqa kept us updated on our cat the whole time. She played with him lots and gave him lots of love while we were away. She even brushed him one visit which we did not ask her to do! she went above and beyond for our pet. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

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!
