Cat lover pouring all my love into other people’s cats! I have been cat sitting a variety of temperaments of cats for years, plus fostering litters of kittens.

I have been cat sitting a variety of temperaments of cats for years, plus fostering litters of kittens. I’m happy to stay at your house if I am not already booked sleeping over at another house, or I’m happy to just do drop ins to make sure your cat has food, water, play, clean litter, and scratchies. I work full time in office, but happy to shower your cat with love and playtime otherwise. Happy to do any other tasks- litter clean up, food and water, etc. If your cat has a history of aggression, I unfortunately would not be a good match.

Learn More About Shannon

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

I have been catsitting consistently for 6 years with many regulars that plan their travel around my schedule. I have been fostering litters of kittens (and sometimes their mom) for a year.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love seeing all the personalities of cats and what are their favorite ways to be pet/cuddled or favorite toy or game to play.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I prefer to have the option to stay over or do drop ins with the trust that I’ll be there as much as I can so the cat gets similar care as if their owner was still home. I also love when owners give me clear instructions so there are no doubts on how best to care for the cat.

  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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!
