Learn More About Kerry
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Quality time with the cats and helping expand their universe of safe visitors. I love getting to know each cat and seeing their personality bloom! I know how anxious I get while traveling away from my kitty, so my favorite part is ultimately giving cat parents peace of mind that their beloved is well taken care of.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes! Kahlúa (goes by Lu) is a 2- -year-old tabby adopted from Mount Purrnon Cat Cafe in Old Town ALX. She’s my girl! Spoiled rotten, very pericuarly, and extremely loving.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Being Lu’s Mom gives me the perspective of what I need to convey to my own sitters while I’m away- Her hiding spots, quirks, major dislikes, and coping behaviors. I will take the same detailed interest in your cat, and home, to ensure the best environment possible in your absence.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I am currently unmarried/no children and my family is closeby, so I don’t typically have travel demands around the holidays.
What is your favorite cat toy?
Lu is having lots of fun with silvervine rope with the yarn slightly undone so that it dangles for a 2-in-1 toy effect!

Kerry got my shy boy to come out and hang with her which is a major plus! I've got a totally staged fright cat and I was getting videos of his cuddles and pets every visit. Absolutely lovely.

Kerry was really communicative both in the lead up to the visit and while watching my cats. She shared my entertainment at their antics and provided great update photos and videos while I was gone. while this visit was only a day long, I’ve already booked her for repeat visits in the future!

Kerry was so consistent and thoughtful taking care of my cat. Especially when there was added stress due to a miscommunication on my part. She’s very understanding and kind. And sends daily updates! I was able to feel at ease knowing she was there to take care of my cat who is shy but very affectionate towards her. She has a way with cats that puts them at ease as well. I highly recommend booking her and I know I’ll be asking her to catsit for me again soon!

Kerry is truly the best cat sitter EVER! She’s so communicative and kind, it felt more like having a friend watch my baby rather than a service provider. She goes above and beyond in so many ways- my apartment was spotless when I got home, not even one spec of litter!!! The most important thing to note is that she is truly a cat and animal lover. She understands that she’s not taking care of someone’s pet, but someone’s child. I’m always anxious when I have to leave for a trip, but she made me feel so calm and secure the entire time I was away. So many updates, so many pictures, and my cat was obsessed with her immediately! All cat parents know that they have a great judge of character, so clearly Kerry’s aura and love for her furry clients is genuine!!! I could not recommend her enough, I’ll definitely only be booking with her in the future. And now I know my cat will be thrilled to get to hang out with his new best friend every time I’m away :)

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!

We went on a short trip for a few days and, being new to the area, I was initially worried about finding someone trustworthy to care for our two cats. Through Meowtel, we found Kerry, and she was fantastic! Kerry was prompt, responsive, and took excellent care of our cats. She kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely confident that our cats were in good hands. Highly recommend! Thanks Kerry!

Kerry was able to watch my senior cat last minute when our regular sitter was unavailable. She took great care of my girl & sent pictures & an update each time she visited. I would definitely use her in the future.

We are so lucky to have found Kerry to take care of our kitties. She sent pictures and updates of our kitties and made sure their food, water and litter was refreshed daily. She was even able to win over our skittish cat in a matter of 3 days. Would not hesitate to hire Kerry again!
