I'm Lauren | Cat Sitting in Arlington, VA

Hi there! My name is Lauren. I absolutely adore kitties and I have one of my own! Her name is Louise and she’s the perfect little cow cat. I’ve always loved interacting with cats. I love how each one has their own personality and quirks. Some are chill, some are a little chaotic. I always give the cats the space they need when I first meet them and let them approach me when they feel ready. I provide cat sitting along with home care services. Here is what I will be responsible for: - Cleaning out litter boxes and keeping the litter box area neat and tidy. - If you...

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

I ask the cat parent for a list of detailed instructions that include the following: - Types of food to feed, the amount and frequency, and if the cat is allowed to have treats. - If the cat is on any medication and the instructions on administering the medicine and how often it should be done. - Where the cat supplies and cleaning materials are in the home. - How to access the home and anything I should be aware of. - How the cat’s behavior typically is and if their behavior changes if the owner is absent.

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

If a kitty is timid or anxious, I let them smell my hand and let the kitty retreat to where they feel safe. I would leave their treats near them and walk away for them to eat it. I give the kitty space and time for them to decide if they want to keep hiding or come out. It takes patience and i don’t get offended if the kitty doesn’t want to interact with me. My top priority is showing that I am not a threat and I can earn their trust by respecting their space.

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 $28.00. 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.
