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

I have been cat sitting my whole life for family, friends and neighbors, and I just started professionally cat sitting this year.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite part about cat sitting is getting to meet and play with so many new cats and getting to know all of their cute little personalities.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation was for a very overweight, fluffy gray cat, who was incredibly sweet and love to have her belly rubbed. I’ve watched her several times now and I always get a kick out of seeing her fluffy belly.

Kristy took great care of my 3 cats during her visits. In addition to food prep, she was able to provide pets and playtime. When one cat had some GI issues (bleh!), Kristy provided extra attention and cleanup.

Kristy was great with our kitties! We have a sassy senior cat who requires meds, and Kristy was very patient with him. She was also very communicative with us during her visits, and took some top notch photos of our babies.

Kristy was fantastic with my two cats while I was away on a trip. Beforehand, we did an in-person walkthrough of my apartment and the cat care routine, which went smoothly and gave me a lot of confidence. During my trip, Kristy provided excellent communication sending regular updates, photos, and videos through the Meowtel app. It was clear my cats were well cared for and comfortable, which gave me peace of mind. Booking through the Meowtel website was straightforward, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. Kristy will definitely be my go-to sitter for future travels, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring cat sitter

Kristy is friendly, professional, and communicative! I booked her relatively short notice and felt at ease during my entire trip thanks to her pictures and thorough updates. My cat Kahlúa loved her! I’d recommend her to anyone.

Kristy is great to work with! She kept us updated and took time out of her day to not only feed our cats but to play and spend time with them as well. Your cats will be in great hands with her.

Kristy is very caring and experienced with cats and kittens across almost every angle of care short of being a vet professional. She has a love for cats and has owned multiple cats as pets, regularly fosters kittens to help them find loving homes and helps other cat lovers with cat sitting to care for their pet when they're unavailable. I can't think of anyone I would trust more with my cat than Kristy!

Kristy has been cat sitting for my cat, Felix, for six years. She is caring and reliable, and Felix loves her! He has a recurring illness and she has been able to administer medicine and attend to his health needs. She is a long-time cat owner herself and also regularly fosters kittens!

Frequently Asked Questions

Alexandria cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
