As a cat parent myself, nothing is more important to me than making sure your cat(s) get the best care and attention while you’re away. Peace of mind is so important and making sure your furry family members are safe, happy and healthy is my top priority! I’m very communicative and will send plenty of pictures of your pets while you’re away. I am very patient with even the fussiest of cats and will make sure to respect their space and boundaries! I pay close attention to detail and will take note of any additional or specific requests you have for your space and your animal’s comfort

Learn More About Madeline

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I really enjoy being able to connect to a new cat (provide love, pets, treats, playtime!) and be able to provide both the cat and the pet parent peace of mind while traveling, because I understand that it can be stressful for both parties!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a four year-old brown tabby named Mouse! She is the queen of the house and I love her so dearly. She is particularly choosy and finicky when it comes to new people, so I have a very great understanding and experience with recognizing and working with shy, skittish, or otherwise perturbed cats!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I love to do a initial meet and greet with both the cat and the parent! Having a first introduction is a great way to get familiar with the space, and with the cat’s personality and preferences:)

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 $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 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!
