I have an older cat named Seraphina right now and I’ve had many cats in my life and they sense that I am very comfortable with them. Cat owners know their sweet baby the best therefore I read the instructions they leave for me and I follow them very carefully so that their cat’s routine is not disrupted and the cat has the best experience it can have while their human is away.
I am retired so I’m have the time and energy needed to care for your sweet fur baby during the week and on weekends too.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually here for holidays except for a few occasions when I go to my family’s houses for Christmas or Thanksgiving.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love the rainbow yarn string on the stick because Seraphina loves it and she drags it around the house with her from room to room.

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

I speak to them in a soothing tone and allow them their space to retreat if they feel they need to.

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.

Lorton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!
