My goal is t... Hello! My name is Amelia and I have a lifetime of experience taking care of feline fur babies. I have had over 15 cats during my lifetime, I’ve been cat sitting professionally for over 2 years, and I have work experience as a receptionist at a veterinary hospital!
My philosophy as a cat sitter is to treat my clients' cats as if they are my own. As a fellow cat mom, I know how nerve-wracking leaving your baby (or babies) in the care of a stranger is! My goal is to make your time away from your baby/babies as stress-free as possible.
I have experience in:
-Oral medications
-Eye drops and ear drops
-Diabetic care/injections
-Transdermal medication
-Inhalers
-Senior kitty care
-Feral/skiddish/under-socialized cats (they’re my favorite!)
My experience in a veterinary hospital gives me specialized knowledge in medications and feline illnesses as well.
I am fully vaccinated and would be happy to wear a mask upon request.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting professionally for over 2 years but have taken care of cats my entire life. The only time I haven’t had a cat was when I lived in a dorm in college!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to know new cats! Getting to know a cat's quirks and personality is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two kitties that live with me and their names are Sasha and Cookie. Sasha is a senior rescue and Cookie is an international rescue!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I grew up with a semi-feral indoor cat that was more of a roommate than a cat. I am highly in-tune to cats' boundaries and let them set the pace. I also typically talk to the kitties I'm taking care of, which can help alert timid kitties of my presence and they can decide whether they want to come out or not. I never force socialization, though I will probably attempt to at least say hi :)

Amelia took wonderful care of our three cats while we were on vacation. She gave us a complimentary first meeting where she came to our place and we walked through all the tasks needed from her. While we were away, we had her drop in for 45 minutes every full day that we weren’t home. Our normally shy cats eventually all came out for her and she was able to give them wet food (we have an automatic feeder with dry food). Amelia gave us an update every day with photos. Having Amelia sit for us gave us great peace of mind, and we definitely recommend her for cat sitting!

Our planned sitter was unable to help us so on short notice we needed someone for 8 days. Amelia had just enough availability, and this was our first time working with her. Amelia is an Angel, with tremendous patience and empathy, experience with semi-feral kitties that was a huge bonus for us, as both our cats came from an outdoor rural background and they have PTSD symptoms from a hoarding situation with illness, injury, and food insecurity. They do not trust easily, and one still has food insecurity fear. She took notes, was always prepared, did a fantastic job and by Thursday even our people-shy little girl came out to play and accepted pets. We can’t recommend her more highly!

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.
Falls Church cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!

Finding Amelia was an absolute blessing. She cared for my senior cat like he was her own, constantly sending me updates and pictures. On top of his normal care, my cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and has started insulin injections. Amelia administered the insulin daily and payed close attention to his diet and reaction. She even recommended a new feeding dish after she noticed he was having trouble finishing meals. Could not recommend Amelia enough. I am so grateful we found her!

Amelia was amazing! She helped us out when we were in a pinch but was absolutely wonderful with our cat. She is definitely an experienced and patient sitter with skills that gave us the confidence that our cat would be loved and taken care of just as much by her as we would give. HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking for a sitter.

We have worked with many cat sitters for over 20 years, and Amelia is one of the best. She knows how to care for cats and is genuinely concerned about them. She is responsive to requests and provides frequent and detailed updates. We would enthusiastically work with her again.

Amelia was great with our cats! One is shy and opened up to her which is great because I think she’s lonely during our time away and this helps keep her happy! Our other cat needs medical attention and he didn’t miss a beat! The pictures were fantastic and made me feel all was good throughout us being away from home. The whole process with Amelia was easy and made me feel very comfortable with her looking after them.
