Kirsten was just phenomenal from the first time we met through the entire time she spent with our two cats. She was thoughtful, kind, extremely responsive and just an all-around great human. Not only did she send me updates and pictures each day, she provided incredible peace of mind while we were out of town, especially because one of our cats had recently undergone oral surgery. I truly appreciated the ability to go on an extended vacation knowing that Kirsten was taking care of our cats and our home.

The meet and greet with Kirsten went smoothly, and throughout our absence, she shared photo and video updates of our cats. Kirsten followed up with questions and was great about communicating any updates or changes about our cats’ behaviors or routine. We came home to two very happy cats!

I couldn’t be happier with the cat sitting services provided by Kirsten. She was very responsive with my inquiries and my furry boy looked content in the daily photos she sent me. I recommend her for anyone looking for a cat sitter.

Kirsten was my first cat sitter using the app and made my first long trip away from Lu more comfortable. She is consistent, detail oriented, a responsive communicator and took great care of my baby girl. I looked forward to her updates and pictures everyday. She was very understanding of my questions and requests. I hope to book her again and would recommend her to anyone!

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.

Arlington 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!
