I'm Sandra | Cat Sitting in Leesburg, VA

I’ve taken care of cats for 5 years now and I have a little furry friend myself. I have a lot of experience with cats who do not like changing environments, traveling, and cats that feel timid around new people. I know how to create a safe space for them and how to allow them to feel lik...

Learn More About Sandra

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

I have 5 years of experience with cat sitting. It is absolutely one of my favorite things in the world getting to enjoy the company of little furry babies by giving them pets and cuddles.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have one cat. His name is Orion like Orion’s Belt. He’s a bit shy around strangers and doesn’t like travel but he’s a very chill and playful cat.

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

To handle an anxious and timid cat, I would create a safe and quiet environment where they feel secure. I’d approach them slowly and calmly, allowing them to come to me at their own pace. Using treats and gentle play can help build trust and encourage interaction. I would avoid sudden movements and loud noises that could startle them. Providing hiding spots, like cozy blankets or boxes, can help them feel more at ease. Patience is key; I would give them time to adjust and always respect their boundaries to foster a sense of safety and comfort.

I have nothing but good things to say about Sandra. She’s watched my cats Austin and Oscar a few times and each time, I always come home to a happy and well taken care of cats and house. She’s very responsive, respectful of my space and always sends the cutest pictures of my cats. I would highly recommend Sandra!

I recently started entrusting my cat Royce to Sandra's care, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. From the start, you can tell that she has a genuine love and respect for animals. I knew I made the right choice when she introduced herself to Royce by taking a passive approach. Too many people (family members) come straight at the little guy and terrify him. She took her time and really gave him the respect and patience that I try to give him. And for as long as I've worked with her, Sandra has been incredibly reliable, being as transparent and helpful as possible. Her personality definitely lends itself to animal care. You can tell that she's kind and patient, and I think my little guy sees it too. Personality is so important when picking a petsitter, and I'm thankful that she was the perfect fit in that regard.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
