Cat Sitting in Falls Church, VA

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 3 years, and I have work experience as a receptionist at a veterinary hospital!

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 3 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 3 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 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 care of my 2 cats, one of whom had cancer. She alerted me when she saw that my sick fur baby was getting worse and we were able to get home in time to say goodbye. She went above and beyond to stay with him and keep him comfortable until we arrived. Amelia is such a sweet and caring person and we so appreciate all that she has done to care for our fur babies.

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!

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 $30.00. 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!
