Hi, I’m Christopher! I’m new to Meowtel, but not new to life with cats. I’m a lifelong cat lover with a soft spot for all the quirky, independent, occasionally-judgmental personalities that make cats so wonderful. Whether your cat is a lap-loving cuddler or a shy hider who just needs their space respected, I’ll meet them where they’re at.

Hi, I’m Christopher! I’m new to Meowtel, but not new to life with cats. I’m a lifelong cat lover with a soft spot for all the quirky, independent, occasionally-judgmental personalities that make cats so wonderful. Whether your cat is a lap-loving cuddler or a shy hider who just needs their space respected, I’ll meet them where they’re at.

I’ve cared for cats previously and can provide a reference on request. I’m also comfortable with cats who need extra gentle handling or have routine care needs — I understand firsthand how much patience that can take, since my own cat is on a regular medication schedule.

When I’m sitting for your cat, you can expect:

• On-time visits, every time
• Fresh food, water, and a clean litter box
• Playtime, brushing, or cuddles (cat’s choice!)
• Photo/video updates so you can see how they’re doing
• A watchful eye for anything that seems off, health-wise

To ensure optimal health in the rare case of an emergency, I require kitty’s owner to have a credit card on file with their veterinarian.

Your home and your cat’s routine matter to me — I’ll follow their schedule and any special instructions to the letter. Book with Christo-Purr Cat Care and relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I am a life long cat owner! I have 11-year-old Teddy, a Siamese who was abandoned in a parking garage at 8 weeks old — I’ve had him ever since! He’s lean and strong, a real little man, and he’s quirky and funny. I also have 9-year-old Ruby, my ginger girl, adopted 3 years ago from a hoarding environment. Despite her rough start, she’s the sweetest cuddler and trusts me completely now. She has health issues we’re managing, but she’s my purr machine, and I’m grateful to give her a stable life.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Look for someone who treats your cat’s routine as sacred — consistent feeding and litter habits, no surprises. Ask how they handle a cat who hides or won’t eat, since that shows whether they actually understand cat behavior versus just filling a bowl. A good sitter sends photo or video updates so you’re not left wondering, and has a plan for what happens if something goes wrong. This is how I approach every visit. I visit before and after work, so feeding stays as consistent as possible within that window, and I’m upfront about my visit times so there are no surprises. I send photo or video updates every visit, and I ask detailed questions about your cat’s habits and needs before we start. I’m new to doing this professionally, but not new to genuinely caring for cats — and that shows in how carefully I pay attention. Look for someone who

Are you usually available during holidays?

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 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!
