Cat Sitting in Mclean, VA
Since kitty TikTok scrolling doesn’t pay the bills, I work for a healthcare association and live in the Tysons area. I primarily work from home, have a car, and am avail... Hi there! I grew up with multiple cats (read: absolute chönks) in the house my whole life. My partner and I currently have two very cuddly kitties. I'm very patient and have spent a lot of time around very skittish rescue cats.
Since kitty TikTok scrolling doesn’t pay the bills, I work for a healthcare association and live in the Tysons area. I primarily work from home, have a car, and am available to travel anywhere in McLean, Arlington, and NW DC.
I am fully vaccinated and can wear a mask upon request. I'm more than happy to do a kitty photo shoot and send tons of photos and/or video if requested. I hope to meet your furry friends! :)
Note: If you are outside of my service area, hoping to book me for an overnight stay, or a date past my calendar openings, please send me a message!
Learn More About Charlotte
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Two! Romulus and Athena.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
We’ll start with scheduling a meet and greet (in-person or virtual is fine!) where you’ll describe how to enter your home/building, your cat’s personality, feeding schedule, what they like to play with, where the litter box is kept, etc. and if there is anything specific to your home or cat I should know about ahead of time. Happy to take keys then or meet up again closer to the first visit if it’s more convenient for you!
What is your favorite cat toy?
The wire dancer on Amazon - $3 and they go crazy for it!

Charlotte is OUTSTANDING!! Not only did she immediately love my cats, they loved her right back! She is a natural with them and I know they miss seeing her already. Charlotte also went completely above and beyond what she signed up for - my kitten got hurt right before my international trip. She offered to check in on him more often and even had to give him 3+eyedrops DAILY! she sent so many pictures and videos and updates on how he was healing. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing Charlotte had my kitties’ backs. she is absolutely phenomenal!! I can’t recommend her enough or give her enough stars ⭐️you’d be crazy not to pick Charlotte 💞

My cats are extremely shy rescues who endured trauma as kittens are are terrified of anyone who is not me. Daphne stress vomits when I am away and they aren't the best eaters when I'm gone. Charlotte showed up at the same time each day which I appreciated. and checked each of their hiding spots to send me welfare photos. and was very patient with them in letting them know she was there but not trying to force them to interact. and while they were too spooked to let her pet them, they did eat all their food for a change. she was great about updates and super timely in responding to texts.

Charlotte was fantastic. I was nervous because we had a bit great experience with a different service, plus one of my cats is super cranky and sometimes bites. But she was really wonderful with both kitties. My cranky old lady even liked her. I knew each time she arrived, she sent lots of pics, and both cats seemed really content when we got back home. I highly recommend Charlotte- I will definitely be using her again!

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.
Mclean cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!

Charlotte was absolutely amazing and I will definitely ask her to pet sit for me again. She’s thoughtful, polite, and professional. My cat is a rescue and often hides from strangers. However, Charlotte made quick and easy friends with my kitty and I felt reassured she was in the best hands. Charlotte was always responsive to texts and email, flexible with circumstances, and willing to accommodate when able. I trust her completely to be in my home and care for my cat.

Charlotte took excellent care of my 7 month old kitten. I had been nervous to leave town because the kitten has special needs (unable to walk, needs help eating, doesn’t use a litter box). But after meeting Charlotte, I felt very confident that I was leaving her in good hands. Highly recommend!

Charlotte not only looks after my kitties so well, she takes amazing photos that really capture their personalities! I know the photos are just supposed to show the kitties are well and looked after, but some of her shots capture my cats in ways I have always wanted to (but failed to get)! She really goes above and beyond to make it feel like I still get to see them even when I'm away.

Charlotte always makes me feel totally assured that my kitties are going to be well taken care of while I'm away. I can tell from the photos that my cats recognize her and light up when she comes around. It is such a weight off my mind to know they're happy and looked after when I travel.

Finding someone to care for and dote on your cats is usually challenging. Charlotte has managed to get in my bashful cat’s good graces. She practically has both cats eating out of her hands. What a blessing to have her cat sit!
