Cat Sitting in Burke, VA

I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life- at the same time too! Most of my life I had three cats and a dog, and made sure they were fed, walked, played with, and loved.

During the pandemic, I was a cat foster for Lost Dog and Cat Rescue. I fostered and got over 14 cats adopted over the course of a year. I handled cats who had medical issues that needed oral medication, and special diets.

I own two kitties of my own, and one of them I have had since under a year old. I spoil my own cats, and would do so for your own animals (unless you would prefer me not to!)...

I am a flexible, chill sitter! I love all cats, and have taken care of many different cats including Domestic Shorthairs, Domestic Longhairs, Russian Blues, Siamese, and more.

I am versatile in matching your cat's energy, so if they love to chill and hang, I'll be hanging on the couch with them. If they love to play with toys and need enrichment, I am there waiving the wand toy and throwing mouses!

I have taken both a Cat and Dog Body Language course through the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, and volunteered for a year.

I have also fundraised over $600 for the Humane Society of Portage County within 2 weeks, which provided over hundreds of animals food for a week.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 5 year old tuxedo named Rory, and a 3 year old tabico named Cassandra. Both are cute little butts.

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

I do love a meet and greet in the cat's environment. I go through to see where all of the supplies are kept, as well as what are the favorite toys and treats.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure that when I enter the house, my eyes are on the ground looking for any escape artist pets. When I exit the house, I have eyes on the cat prior to leaving.

Nikki did a fantastic job with our fur princess Gucci, who is quite shy and rather skittish. She warmed up to Nikki and allowed herself to be given belly rubs in no time. She's a miracle worker! Thanks, Nikki for taking excellent care of our princess.

Nicollette was very conscientious about making sure she understood all of our kitties nuances. He has had to move quite a bit over the last year and has been getting used to a new home and she did a wonderful job of making sure he felt comfortable. thank you so much!

Nicki is wonderful! From the moment we all met at the meet and greet, both of my cats felt super comfortable with her. She took amazing care of both of them and especially my little kitten who was a bit under the weather! We were all happy with her care and fantastic way of bonding with our babies :)

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.

Burke cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
