Ever since I was little I always wanted a cat and 3 years ago I decided to rescue an orange tabby cat! Her name is mango she was very shy and anxious when meeting her now she is a socially anxious cat and I love learning more about cats :)

I’m very excited to meet your cat and see how they are and am very understanding if they are shy as well and want to warm up to me to the point I can care for them like my own.

I’m open to working morning and evening during the week and some weekends. I do have a car so the commute won’t be a problem.

I’m fully vaccinated for COVID and happy to accommodate to any COVID procedures  you have for me in your home.

Maritza did a wonderful job. I needed someone last minute. I also wasn't able to get someone to water my plants and it ended up being a heat advisory week. I was able to text her and she was able to help! She did a great job, will use her again.

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!
