Cat Sitting in Arlington, VA

I adopted my cat, Marlowe, in 2021 and have loved cats ever since. Like most good parents, I get anxious about leaving my cat for an extended period. Having trusted and reliable care while I travel is important to me, which is why I’d like to be that for someone else.

I adopted my cat, Marlowe, in 2021 and have loved cats ever since. Like most good parents, I get anxious about leaving my cat for an extended period. Having trusted and reliable care while I travel is important to me, which is why I’d like to be that for someone else.

My cat care experience includes daily maintenance, administering oral liquid medication and tablets, and extensive cat play. When I am not caring for my cat, I am caring for patients as a hospital pharmacist. In my free time I enjoy hiking, planting, cooking, and crossword puzzles.

Booking with me means a 100% guarantee that your home and cat will be treated with respect and care. I am willing to cat sit for those located primarily in the DC/NOVA area, but am open to other locations as well.

Due to my full-time employment, I am limited to 1 visit/day on weekdays and weekends. I am generally available in the evening 3-9 pm. Please feel free to contact me directly for questions about booking.

Learn More About Stephanie

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

Before joining meowtel in 2024, my only cat care experience was for my own can that I rescued during the pandemic.

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 a six 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 absolutely fabulous! Our initial meet-and-greet left me with the utmost confidence she would be a fantastic sitter for our Georgie, and she was! She provided daily, thorough check-ins (complete with photos and videos!) and it was clear Georgie was in great hands with her and feeling loved and cared for while we were away. I would recommend Stephanie to anybody and will definitely work with her again!

I’ve had the privilege of having Stephanie as my cat’s sitter for almost 2 years and he’s grown to love her so much as she brings out a relaxed and playful side of him (he’s usually timid around most people). I can always leave town with a peace of mind knowing that he’s in her care. She’s thoughtful, thorough, and sends the cutest photos!

this was my second time using Stephanie and it was every bit as excellent as the first. She does an incredible job of communicating and sending updates and really makes me feel comfortable during my trips. I get pretty anxious when I leave my babies but knowing Stephanie is taking care of them is a huge stress reliever. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a highly responsible and professional sitter.

Stephanie was both professional with her approach and sweet with my kitty. She took pics, gave me thorough reports, and also did her best to keep Savior’s routine going. I will definitely hire her again.

Stephanie goes above and beyond!! My cats are so comfortable with her even though they are usually very shy!! I had to extend my most recent trip by three days and she was so accommodating and allowed me more time to be with family during an important time. She provides many photos and written descriptions of visits. I truly cannot recommend her enough.

Stephanie was amazing and patient with my kitty girls, who always hid when people come over. She really is the kitty whisperer because she managed to get my girls to come out. :)

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 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 Meet & Greet!
