I like to conduct visits by having a meet and greet with the cat first so we can get acquainted with each others energy. From there, expectations would be discussed and plans to move forward. I can apply simple medications and follow scheduling well. I’m also adept at understanding cat behavior and can connect with many different feline personalities. I know when to give space and when to come close. My personality is very friendly, grounded, and playful. I share the immense curiosity cats carry, and I love to observe where their attention goes.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I live with three cats! Two domestic shorthairs and a Maine coon!!! Their names are Nala, Evelina, and Loki Loki is ginormous hahah

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is the kind where there’s a string with something on the end of it. It’s so fun to watch the cats swat and stalk the fake prey.

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

I honor their boundaries and act as softly and gently as possible; making slow and quiet movements, avoiding too much eye contact. From there I work to establish trust, usually beginning by feeding them a treat or engaging them with their favorite toy.

My cat Luna is often anxious and afraid but, while I was away Sarah had the ability to convince Luna to come out from under the bed and play. Further, Sarah went above and beyond every day to help care for Luna.

Sarah was a great kitty sitter! Our kitty loved her and she did a good job being flexible with some changes that we had to make with extending her visit. She always gave updates with pictures and videos which was wonderful to see

We were stressed when we moved to Richmond three weeks ago because we were losing our cat sitter of 10 years. We do not like to board our cats as they are happiest in their own home when we are gone. We found Sarah through Meowtel and she was great; as she is owned by three cats herself, she understands their needs. The girls were a bit shy because of all the recent change but Sarah was patient and great that my shy girl finally warmed up to her on day 3. Highly recommend Sarah and Meowtel. We will be using their services again.

Sarah was fantastic- it was our first time using her care service and our cat, Stormtrooper took to her right away. She had this energy that he gravitated to and that is important to us. Highly recommend.

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.

Midlothian cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
