Learn More About Diana
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love cat sitting because with cats you have to earn their trust so they let you in their little world which is very peaceful, therapeutic and stress free.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I would highly advise when looking for cat sitter to look for body language on pictures of the sitter with other cats, that tells a lot. I would also recommend looking at reviews and looking for patterns. At meet and greet I would advise paying attention if the sitter is asking questions and how it your cat reacting to meeting them
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toy is the cat's favorite toy. If they don't have a preference and equally react to all toys I go for the laser or wand toy, it really makes them activate their hunting senses when they chase it and it takes a lot of their energy out.

Took amazing care of our cat, Kennedy. when she wasn’t able to stay as long for one visit, she made it up by staying extra long with her on the next one. she also checked in with us after her last visit to make sure we got home safe and to make sure that Kennedy was being fed and taken care of!

Diana was the perfect choice to take care of Mochi. He is shy and timid, but Diana's warm and loving personality broke through his barriers very quickly. Diana took a lot of wonderful pictures during each of her visits, which really helped me see how he was doing and I greatly appreciate all of her attention to detail. She asked all of the right questions and followed every direction to a "t." I will absolutely book with Diana in the future!

Diana was great with our two kitties! One of whom has to take several pills a day (and gets a little sassy in the process). She was super patient with him, made sure he got the meds he needed, and provided A+ love and affection to our needy babies while we were out of town. She is very responsive and a skilled pet photographer.

5 Stars…Diana is a gem! she sincerely cared about giving the best care to my fur babies. Despite my older cat getting sick and showing his not so loving personality. she respected his space and worked on his terms. I felt at ease knowing she was caring for them. She even graciously stayed longer one day to give a little extra TLC. I looked forward to her daily reports and pic/videos. I’ll absolutely seek out Diana in the future.

Diana watched over our two cats Oreo and Cassie for 7 overnights. She is kind, detail-oriented, and eager to give the best care to animals. Our situation is tricky because Oreo requires daily meds to be taken with food, and is a sensitive eater, whereas Cassie is an adorable greedy cutie who will steal Oreo's food if given the chance. We have a lot of detail about the cats' routines & personalities written down in our house guides and we make ourselves available ahead of our travel for introductions and to answer questions. We also provide a network of friends and coworkers to assist if the situation with Oreo's meds isn't going well. We acknowledge our cat situation is complex and aim to equip our sitters for success! During our travel we found ourselves answering questions that were already detailed in our guides or we addressed with our introductions/walk-throughs time. We were in time zones 5-6 hours ahead so it was difficult to keep up with the messages. We had hoped to be able to relax and feel confident that things were taken care of as we had with prior sitters. Diana spent as much time as her work schedule allowed with Cassie and Oreo - we got plenty of adorable pictures and both kitties were in good health when we got home. Diana cleaned up after herself and even gave us a refund for the final day when our return was earlier than initially expected. We would book Diana again: our cats are complicated and we're sure Diana would feel more confident next time.

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.
Lorton 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 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 Meet & Greet!

Diana was fantastic - she made time prior to watching Dill to come meet her and instantly made friends with her. We spoke regularly via chat and she sent all sorts of pictures - will absolutely have her watch my kitty again in the future!

I can't recommend Diana enough as a cat sitter! She is reliable, caring, and truly loves cats. Diana has been taking care of our fur babies for the past year while we travel, and it has been a great experience for our family. Our three cats felt right at home with her and were always happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. It's such a relief knowing your pet is in such great hands!

Diana is the ideal pet sitter. She is personable and kind. You know as soon as she walks though the door that she loves and respects animals. She is very communicative and reliable. I never worry about my cats when they are in her care. Her visit summaries and photos are always something to look forward to. She really is outstanding and I'd recommend her 100%.
