What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting consistently for just shy of 2 years now, but have cat sit off and on for about 2 years prior. So in total - almost 4 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I LOVE cats, I have 2 of my own and I can’t imagine my life without them. Working in animal care I crossed paths with a variety of animals and personalities - but I gravitate towards cats most. Cats are incredibly discerning, so when I go to sit for a cat that isn’t the friendliest or is pretty shy, it always feels like I won the lottery when we’ve become friends by the end of the sit. There’s no better feeling than knowing a cat likes you and seeks you out of all the people in a room!

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

My initial process is to always gather history before we meet, I like to set everyone up for success and to make sure that we’re a good fit to work together. Based on what your expectations are and the cats needs, I let clients know as soon as possible if I’m the best fit for the timeframe requested. If I am, I always do a in-person meet & great, to see where all the supplies is located, get a good gauge for each cats routine, and most importantly meet your cat!!! It not only makes me feel confident and prepared to have the lay of the land ahead of time - I’m also not a complete stranger to your cat when I come to check in on them for the first time!

Ciarra was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout my trip and was able to handle my sometimes difficult cats as well as two that needed different medications. It was very reassuring that she could handle a cat with diabetes needing insulin and she took it in stride when a UTI popped up in another cat just before our trip. The cats warmed up to her quickly and she was professional, friendly, and prompt in her responses. Her attention to detail and care in our home were much appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for good cat care!!

Ciarra is so sweet! My cats have some major stranger-danger issues, and she was able to take care of them without any problems. My older cat got her meds every day, my younger cat showed his face occasionally, and no wild catnip parties were thrown in our absence. Ciarra was very flexible when my schedule changed at the last minute, was personable to my elderly parents who were at home but cannot take care of the cats themselves, and even took out the garbage for us. Overall, I highly recommend her, and have already booked her for my next 2 trips.

Ciarra was great with my two cats! Scheduling, communication, and booking was easy. One of my boys started being antisocial with sitters so I was in a tough spot looking for a sitter. I was reassured by Ciarra in discussing how to handle my cats and in learning about her history with cats. She kept me updated on each visit and am grateful for the care she provided! I’ve already booked Ciarra for my next trip!

Ciarra is an outstanding cat sitter! she always takes great care of my cat billie and follows instructions closely. When she is cat sitting for me I never have to worry about billie. Ciarra is reliable and great at communicating with me. I highly recommend her!

I have personally witnessed the attention to detail and care that Ciarra provides to the animals she works with, as well as their humans. She is expert-level knowledgeable about even the most severe medical and behavioral cases. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with looking after my own cats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Glen Allen cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
