Cat Sitting in Hampton, VA

I’ve always had cats since I was a kid, and I currently have 3. I’ve dealt with special needs cats, anxious cats, scared cats, and happy cats (and everything in between). Of my current 3 cats, one is a one-ear rescue that lost his ear due to frost bite ... I’ve always had cats since I was a kid, and I currently have 3. I’ve dealt with special needs cats, anxious cats, scared cats, and happy cats (and everything in between). Of my current 3 cats, one is a one-ear rescue that lost his ear due to frost bite before he found his forever home with me.

I would love to pet sit your cat while you are away and make sure they are happy and comfortable until you return. I’ve had to rely on pet sitters many times in my career, so I know how anxious it it can feel!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Each cat is unique! I love getting to know each kitty for who they are and what they like. No two cats are the same.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 beautiful cats; a bonded pair named Claire and Felix, and a large orange and white one ear cat named Bagel. Felix and Bagel love to cuddle with their favorite people. Claire loves socializing with people and getting into things/exploring.

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

Your cat misses you more than you may realize when you are away. Most cats are used to humans being around. Hiring a professional cat sitter can help put both you and your cat at ease, and help ensure your cat isn’t lonely. After doing this for several years now, I’ve noticed even the most shy cats come to appreciate human interaction while you are away. I could never replace you, but I can help them feel comfortable and reassured so you can enjoy your trip!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I never force the cat to do anything, it is completely up to the cat how much they want to interact. Usually, giving them the space to get comfortable and being patient helps calm them. If you have an Alexa (or something similar), I will probably put on music for cats as I’ve found it to help relax anxious kitties. If your cat has separation anxiety, I may request you leave a shirt you’ve worn recently behind near where they sleep - your scent will reassure them.

Jessica was absolutely amazing and great with my two cats! She was very diligent about sending updates with pictures and videos of her check-ins and made sure each cat had plenty of love and attention. My kitten has some health issues and Jessica was even able to pill her and do her dental care! I'm so grateful she was available to take care of my kids while I was away.

My second time having Jessica watch my cats went as perfect as the first time! My one very shy guy absolutely loves Jessica! He comes right out, purring and head butting her - just melts my heart! I never have to worry about them because I know they are going to be taken care of while I’m away. Don’t hesitate to hire Jessica to watch your cats!

Jessica was the absolute best! I have two cats and one is afraid of every little noise and I was thrilled to see a video of him coming out for pets during Jessica's first visit! She provided me with lots of updates, including videos and photos. This was the first time I had someone watch my cats that wasn't a family member or friend, so I was a little nervous. However, Jessica made me feel like a friend/family member was taking care of them when I was away. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies! I will absolutely use this service (and hopefully Jessica) for my future trips!

Jessica was excellent, and provided amazing updates with tons of photos every day. My cats never seemed remotely shy around her, so their review was great, too!

Jessica was great with our 3 cats! They warmed up to her even though 2/3 are normally shy, and she sent a ton of photos of them eating, snuggling, and playing. She was able to give one cat her meds and made sure that each kitty got individual playtime and pets. 11/10 recommend! The cats seemed very happy and relaxed when we got home. Thank you so much!

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 $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!
