Cat Sitting in Alexandria, VA

Hi, I’m Kristy, a lifelong cat person and experienced kitten foster who specializes in cat-only services (plus I have my own tuxedo cat, Carmen!). I’ve fostered dozens of cats and kittens through the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria and the Humane Rescue Alliance, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and care needs including giving medicine, shots, or anything else your cat requires.

Whether your cat is social or prefers space, I focus on making them feel safe, respected, and relaxed. I know how important routine is, and I pay attention to the little things that help them feel at home while you’re away.

I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule, which means I can give your cat the time and attention they deserve...

I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule, which means I can give your cat the time and attention they deserve. I’m reliable, professional, and want to make your trip away from your cat as stress-free as possible!

I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your space, and I take that seriously. You can count on me to follow instructions closely, communicate clearly, and leave things just as I found them (if not better!). Whether I’m caring for your pets or simply making sure your home feels safe and secure while you’re away, I’m here to give you peace of mind. I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, or do anything else that needs attention while you’re away.

* Key Handling:
Keys must be provided at the meet and greet, placed in a secure lockbox or accessible location at your home, or dropped off to me before the booking begins. In buildings where elevator access requires a fob or front desk assistance, any wait time will be deducted from the scheduled visit.

*Parking: If parking is limited, paid, or time-restricted, please mention this in your request so we can determine if it’s the right fit.

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 last 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 the perfect sitter for our little kitties! She was very communicative and quick to respond throughout the entire process, and she even helped clean up an accident one of our cats had outside of the litter box while we were away. We would definitely book Kristy again and highly recommend her!

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 a wonderful sitter for my 3 year old kitty while I was out of town. He absolutely loved her! Cuddled right up to her like he has known her for years. She was wonderfully communicative and shared lovely pictures so I felt secure that my boy was safe and happy and healthy. I will definitely book her again in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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 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 Meet & Greet!
