Cat Sitting in Alexandria, VA

***Booking calendar updated through Jan. 31, 2027. Thanksgiving, Xmas & New Years now open.***

For repeat clients: I’m always happy to Meowtel chat if there are questions about my availability.

For new clients: Allow me to introduce myself, I'm the proud cat mom to Maxwell Miguel a white cat with tabby spots. I can’t have all the cats at home, but every cat I watch I love like mine -- and I can't wait to meet your meowdal!

Through Meowtel I’ve watched cats for almost 3 years. I've given medicine, intravenous fluids, inhaler, ear & eye drops. I do everything to make all visits as pawsitive as possible.

I was trained at the HSPCA as an animal behaviorist and learned a lot about pet personalities and communication. My approach to meeting meowdals is to give them space — and lots of it! During my meet & greets, I ignore kitty while learning care information from their pawrent...

I was trained at the HSPCA as an animal behaviorist and learned a lot about pet personalities and communication. My approach to meeting meowdals is to give them space — and lots of it! During my meet & greets, I ignore kitty while learning care information from their pawrent. This way they can observe me, and I learn boundaries before engaging. I take direction from your fur-by to build a relationship of trust and comfortability.

***PLEASE NOTE: Concierge access routinely causes major issues. In order to live up to the excellence guarantee and stress free visits, I need a copy of the key/full keyless access with me throughout the booking. Please message me before booking if you think giving me a key/full access might be an issue.***

I started Stacy's Kitty Care as part of pursuing employment that I'm passionate about and enjoy. In addition to kitty butler-ing, I work PT as an Operations & EA coordinator for a long-time national nonprofit. I enjoy, and need, the flexibility of having work from home jobs. This means I'm open to watching your cats at times that are part of their regular routine.

I know it’s hard to leave the furry love of your life. I make sure when I watch someone else’s baby that I look out for them as if they were my own at my house.

I’m located next to Shirlington, VA and easily able to travel within 5-miles of my location. I can do up to twice daily, hour-long check-ins.

Learn More About Stacy

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

I’ve been watching cats for friends and neighbors since 2018. I’ve done a lot of work with shy babies, special fluids, finicky eaters, runners and the best meowdals ever.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy chatting to and getting to know different cats. They have such interesting personalities and cat kisses are the best when I've earned them! It’s a joy to help pawrents continue to give the loving care their babies need.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I adopted Maxwell Miguel, my 2 year-old baby. The love foster pawrents give to kitties who need a home inspires me in my cat-sitting. The more you love a cat, the better experience for us both.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to go over a list of care, home and behavior questions. I also go over emergency protocols and procedures to plan for anything. Communication and consistency are very important for all the humans caring for a cat. This way a relationship of trust is built and we can be clearheaded should an emergency arise.

Are you usually available during holidays?

My immediate family lives in the DCMV area, so I don’t travel around major holidays. If my status is listed as unavailable during a holiday, that means I’m fully booked for new clients. I try to accommodate returning clients as much as possible during busy season. Maintaining your baby's care and my relationship with them is super important to me. I get disappointed if I can't make a booking work. I typically reach out to repeat clients with a heads up before closing holiday reservations.

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

I give them space and try to move as calmly and chill as possible. These kitties need special care and consideration and don’t need me rudely being noisy or getting into their space w/o permission. Sometimes, I play calming music, an audiobook, or softly sing silly songs while I sit in the doorway and they hide. I let them observe me without looking at them. I try to give them all the passive reassurance they need.

Stacey was great - when our AC failed during a heat wave, she took our cat home with her to keep our cat safe until we got the AC repaired

Stacy is phenomenal! She took such amazing care of my kitties & went above & beyond. When my foster kitty was having a medical issue, she followed my instructions so he could get care, without hesitation. So, so grateful for her professionalism & attention to detail!

Stacy was a pleasure to work with! She asked all the right questions at our meet and greet so that she knew where all of the food, litter box and toy supplies are kept. She was great at managing expectations in regards to how the visits would go, and what to expect for communication. we felt very comfortable having her cat sit based on her extensive experience doing this. While sitting, she would send us cute photos and videos of Kirby, as well as the food and litter areas. I would definitely choose Stacy again to watch our kitty!

Stacy did an excellent job watching our two cats, one of whom is a super senior and requires extra care and meds. She even pivoted superbly when a travel snafu left us scrambling to rearrange our way home. I would 100% recommend her and will book her again in the future.

Stacy was absolutely amazing with my extra-spicy, territorial cat, who is typically very fearful and aggressive around people when we are not home. She treated him with incredible patience, empathy, and understanding, always respecting his boundaries and going at his pace. Stacy truly went above and beyond with her expertise, strategy, consultation, and communication. And I had complete peace of mind knowing our cat was in the most caring and capable hands, even when it was very stressful due to our cat’s territorial behavior. If your cat is shy, anxious, or challenging, I can't recommend Stacy highly enough! She is the first person you should want to care for your cat when you are not around and you can trust she will make the right call.

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.

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!
