I'm Bethany
Cat Sitting in Hampton, VA
I am especially talented in interacting with shy cats... I have been professionally pet sitting since 2019. I love all animals and have been a pet parent to many different types over the course of 30+ years. However, my pride and joy is being momma to my 3 loving kitties. My oldest has temperament issues that we have been working through with her using positive reinforcement. While my youngest just got done with his treatments for FIP so I have a lot of experience with a host of possible issues that can occur with cats. Pet sitting is my full-time job and I truly love it! I have a passion for bonding with and caring for all fur-babies not just my own.
I am especially talented in interacting with shy cats. I am often told I will probably not see much of a cat and more often than not by the end of the booking we are the best of friends.
Prior to pet sitting I worked at PetSmart and loved anytime I got to interact with or care for the pets being housed there. In my time there I heard a lot of good and bad stories about different things people have tried when caring for their own fur babies. I have also done a lot of research throughout the years on many different cat supplies including but not limited to food, treats, supplements, litters, etc. so if you are needing any pointers or information, I am happy to share.
I am COVID vaccinated but am happy to wear a mask in your home with or without you there. Please just let me know. :D

Bethany was amazing! She took fantastic care of my boys while we had to go out of town for a family funeral. Getting texts with photos of my guys and hearing that they were coming out for pets and treats made my heart happy. It was so helpful knowing I didn’t have to worry about my sweet babies and I could focus on my humans. I would absolutely recommend Bethany to care for your cats and I’m already going to rebook as we are going away for an overnight.

Bethany is the best! She arrives within her window of time and is thorough with her reporting of how the kitties are, including adorable pics! She really seems to understand cat behavior and is able to follow special feeding instructions and give meds without any problems! 4 Paw 🐾 🐾 sitter for sure! we highly recommend her. 🥰

This was the second time I’ve needed sitter for my cats. As always, I got updates with photos and my usually shy cat, was seeking out pets and his motor was working overtime - lots of purring! I absolutely would recommend Bethany!

Bethany is fantastic! She provided great daily updates and pics of the kitties. We have an elderly cat that requires a daily pill, and so we were initially concerned about going on a long vacation - but Bethany was super attentive and gave us such peace of mind!!

everything went amazing! directions were followed, communication was stellar, the pictures were both amazing and hilarious because my boys love her! I have one that has to take probiotics in the morning, she did great with medicating his food. He is also a senior cat and a very shy boy. He is not afraid to come out and greet her. Will continue to book over and over again!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

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.
Hampton 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!

Bethany is amazing, and a true cat whisperer! She had my shy kitty coming right to her on day one. She was amazing with both girls, and gave us such peace of mind while traveling. We will definitely be booking her whenever we go out of town!

I’m so lucky to have found Bethany. I have three little quirky babies and all three warmed up to her in no time. One of my cats requires sublingual immunotherapy and daily pills and Bethany handles it seemlessly. Most importantly, she very obviously cares so much about them, which is what any pet parent wants when they’re leaving their little ones at home alone for any period of time. I highly recommend booking with her!

Bethany takes good care of our boys and, blessedly, knows how to fix any problems with our automatic litter box. Her communications are prompt and her proof of life photos are cute.

First of all the boys liked Bethany, that’s a huge plus! Secondly she was very familiar with our electronic litter machine, also a huge plus! The boys seemed just fine, if not thrilled that we were gone.

Bethany put us at ease for our first time away from the kitties! We have one cat with a "unique personality" and she took it in stride, making sure he got some extra attention during her visits. Even made friends with the cat that hides from everyone! Photos and updates daily were a nice bonus!!
