Hi my name is Sarah I recently moved here from VA to go back to school, I’m positive, mature and trustworthy. I’ve had cats all my adult life, sadly Rosie passed at 17 earlier this year. The picture is of she and I. I also ran my own petsitting company in the early 00’s. When my daughter was young. hiring a pet sitter means you trust someone enough to let them into your home and watch a member of your family. I promise to always treat you better than family and to earn your trust. pet sitters act as natural deterrent to anyone in your neighborhood who might wonder if you are home or not while you are away. Better to trust an adult next-door with your home and your kitten family member.

Learn More About Sarah

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

So when my daughter was born in 2001 I opened up my own pet sitting business really it was just me going to people‘s homes to look after their animals. I found out I was a cat person. I have always had cats my adult life I usually try and adopt a boy and a girl together sadly, my darling cat Rosie passed earlier this year at the age of 17.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know each feline on an individual basis. Managing my behavior so it makes my feline friend as comfortable as possible.

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

I give them the space and time they need to get to know me and I realize that not all cats are very social with pet sitters. It’s important to let the cat lead and I follow.

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 $30.00. 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!
