I'm Stephanie | 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. My cat care experience includes daily maintenance, administring 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 ...

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!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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.
