I'm Dede | Cat Sitting in Arlington, VA
*over 30 glowing reviews on another site - prefer overnight house sitting and will work with you on week long rates* Hi my name is Duha but some call me Dede - welcome to my world where the animals rule and I, well, am their fool. I am an attorney by practice, a sitter by passion, writer by aspiration. I am passionate about criminal law and animal rights. I live with my sister and three kitties (two of which we rescued off the street) and also work in coordination with AWLA. I am a sensitive soul that understands that animals require patience and respect just as much as...

Dede's Reviews
Breanna
We booked Dede to watch our kitty for 10 days over the holidays, and she truly went above and beyond! This was the longest we'd been away from our cat since we adopted him. Although we'd only booked her for shorter visits, Dede spent plenty of extra time with our kitty to keep him company while we were away. She also sent us plenty of pictures, including some playtime action shots :) We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her as a cat sitter!
Ashley
Dede went above and beyond for us over our 2-week time away. She was extremely conscientious and even come by to check on our cat one day when she wasn’t scheduled. Top notch!

I am incredibly grateful for Dede. As a long-time friend and dedicated cat sitter, she has consistently gone above and beyond to care for my furry family members. Her reliability and genuine affection for animals give me peace of mind whenever I'm away. I can't recommend her enough.. She truly is a wonderful friend and caregiver!

Frequently Asked Questions
Arlington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
