Cat Sitting in Fairfax Station, VA

I love cats! This is my fun early retirement job. I foster pregnant cats and their kittens for my local shelter. Some of my earnings from this job go back into feeding and caring for my foster cats. I have volunteered at the local animal shelter, worked with rescues, and foster kittens and cats. My favorite specialty lately has been fostering pregnant cats, birth and KITTENS!!! I have learned a lot... I love cats! This is my fun early retirement job. I foster pregnant cats and their kittens for my local shelter. Some of my earnings from this job go back into feeding and caring for my foster cats. I have volunteered at the local animal shelter, worked with rescues, and foster kittens and cats. My favorite specialty lately has been fostering pregnant cats, birth and KITTENS!!! I have learned a lot. This process is so fun to watch from the kittens first opening their eyes, sometimes only one the first day to three weeks later wrestling with their siblings and learning to play with toys. I am a retired Residential Appraiser. I have been to many homes where shy pets have surprised their owners by coming out of hiding to meet me. Some used to follow me around, which was the highlight of my work day. I can administer meds (topical, eye drops, pills, etc) if necessary. After working with so many rescue cats, I can spot illness and warning signs if your cat is not feeling well. I can also water plants, pick up the mail, etc. I would love to meet you and your cat(s).

My cats are in good hands when I leave them with Julie. My shy kitty actually came out to greet her this past visit! He is scared of new ppl, so it was nice to see him warm up. I highly recommend her!

Julie was the first pet sitter I've ever used for my two year old cats I've had since they were kittens. She treats her profession very seriously and took diligent notes during the meet and greet and was extremely conscious of the cats behavior and made sure they were comfortable. The cats warmed up to her almost immediately and importantly she successfully administered a daily inhaler to a somewhat timid asthmatic cat which is a huge win! 100% would recommend reaching out to Julie especially if you have cats with particular needs.

Julie did great with our four cats. Plenty of photos and updates every night, and she even managed to coax a pet out of our most shy little girl!

Julie did an exceptional job of watching our elderly cat while we were away on vacation for a couple of weeks. Her meticulous attention to detail and constant updates made us feel completely comfortable and secure knowing that our cat was in her capable hands. Despite the fact that our cat required daily medication, Julie was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure her well-being. She diligently maintained her litter box, kept our cat entertained, and made sure she never felt lonely. She is the purr-fect 🐈 cat sitter and we highly recommend her to anyone needing her services. We are happy customers and plan to utilize her again in the future. 😃

Julie was very professional! She took tons of notes during our meet and greet, and provided a short summary of every visit with pictures. She responded to my communication in a timely manner. She made us feel secure that our cats (and house) were well taken care of while we were away. I would love to work with her again.

Julie was awesome. She provided daily updates with photos of our cat which was greatly appreciated while away. She obviously loves animals which was apparent as our typically shy cat warmed right up to her!

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.

Fairfax Station 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!
