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

I had my own cats for the first half of my life, and have cat-sat off and on since middle school. Now that I can’t have cats of my own, I love still being able to spend time with them through sitting. I’m a star sitter of both cats and dogs on another popular platform, and am happy to share reviews from those clients if you ask!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Not being able to have cats of my own now because of my husband’s allergies, I love being able to still get some kitty time from sitting for others! I grew up with two orange tabbies (Copper & Teeny), followed by a tortie (Scarlet) who was a real character. She was a chatty lady; I suspect she had some Siamese in her based on her meow. She was also an acrobat & once jumped from the counter to the top of the fridge on the clear other side of the kitchen to get to a batch of blueberry muffins I’d put in the one place I didn’t think she could get to—that cat loved blueberry muffins to a degree that was a little baffling.

Are you usually available during holidays?

We don’t tend to travel during holidays, so I’m almost always available for them (except for Father’s Day, which always falls around my husband’s birthday so we will often do a long weekend trip for that…but that’s probably not one of the holidays people probably need a sitter for very often!).

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

I’m a stranger in their space—I get being wary of that! I will always try to encourage the cat to approach by sitting quietly in the same room but not too close, perhaps talking softly to them if that doesn’t scare them off, having a hand out for them to sniff if they want to. If the cat never warms to me, that’s fine; I won’t ever force an interaction on them. Typically after a day or two even shy cats will be interested enough to at least peek out from their hiding place and let me see them for a proof-of-life check, but if not, as long as their food and water and litterbox indicate that they’re eating and drinking, most clients understand that that may be the best we get.

Frequently Asked Questions

Leesburg cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
