Learn More About Stephanie

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I am new to cat sitting but have been a cat owner and care taker for 3 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy giving fellow cat parents the peace of mind knowing that their cats are being well cared for while they are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have an almost 4 year old domestic tabby, named Marlowe.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I think it’s important to get on their level yet allow them the time and space to become comfortable with my presence and scent. And I’ve found bribery with treats to also be a handy tool.

Stephanie was incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. She took the time to do a meet and greet with my shy kitty, Neville, which definitely made a difference. This was my first time leaving my furry son for more than a day since he chose me and I'm incredibly attached to him so I was very nervous. Stephanie quickly alleviated my nerves, however, with her excellent communication and pictures. She clearly cares about what she's doing and really went far beyond what I anticipated. She was able to coax Neville out of his shyness and he was quickly rolling around on his back and doing kitty stretches and playing during her visits. It really meant a lot that I could breathe easy during my trip knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend her services and will definitely use her again. Thanks Stephanie!

We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Stephanie provided for Stevie and Nyx while we were away. Stephanie is a true animal lover, and that only became more apparent each day she spent with our cats! She went above and beyond just feeding and cleaning up—spending real quality time playing with both Stevie and Nyx, making sure they were engaged, relaxed, and happy. We received regular updates with photos and stories that showed how well our cats were being looked after, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. Would love to have her watch our cats again!

I highly recommend Stephanie! She took detailed notes during our first meeting and asked all the right questions. She took incredible care of my furbaby Simba, and sent me consistent updates with the cutest photos. Simba loved her!

This is the second time Stephanie has watched my cat Cocoa and she did an excellent job both times! My cat is so shy and Stephanie had her playing and cuddling in no time. I could not recommend Stephanie more highly!

Stephanie was very communicative and flexible with my needs and as well as my cats right from the start, especially from the meet and greet until the end of my reservation. I loved and appreciated all the updates and pictures she sent me, they were super detailed and made me feel at ease since I get anxious when I am away from my cats for longer than a day. My cats also seemed to really like her, and I would definitely trust Steph to look after my cats again!

Stephanie did great with my two cats again. She provided excellent photos and plenty of details about how they were doing. I’m in the process of changing their food and she was diligent to make sure they were eating and adjusting portions as necessary. Thank you, Stephanie!

Stephanie did a fantastic job caretaking my three year old tabby. This was my first time leaving my cat for two weeks since I got her a little over a year ago, Stephanie did awesome at dealing with my cat’s stubborn litter box habits and providing updates while I was in a different time zone.

Stephanie was a great sitter for us while on a week long vacation. She was very attentive to our kitty and provided us with timely updates. She had a lot of great questions we didn’t even think about during the meeting visit. Would highly recommend!

Stephanie was excellent - we had a miscommunication with the pre-visit (totally my fault) and she was incredibly flexible and understanding of my mistake. She was incredibly caring for our currently injured cat and helped facilitate safe playtime for her. She also provided great pictures and thorough updates for the other cats, and coaxed our shy kitties out for feeding and playtime! I would 10000 percent recommend utilizing her services.

This was my second time having Stephanie watch my cats and she was amazing! My cats love her and she always sends the best pictures of them playing together. My place is always tidy when I come back and I don't have to worry about anything while I am away.

Stephanie took great care of my cats while on a work trip. We had a great pre-meet and she sent along detailed notes and photos from each visit. She also took time to play with my very energetic cats. I'll definitely try to re-book Stephanie on future trips!

Stephanie was amazing with my kiddos! They can be quite shy but warmed up to her quickly. I did not worry at all about my two with her taking care of them. Will definitely be using Stephanie again the next time I am out of town!

Stephanie did a great job with my two cats! One is pretty shy at first, but warmed up to Stephanie quickly. She is very kind and attentive to details. She was great with updates and photos, and left everything very neat at the end of her visits. This was my first time using the service, but Stephanie did an amazing job making me feel comfortable about having someone come into my home.

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 $26.00. 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.
