Learn More About Sarah
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 is on the older side and needs medication multiple times a day. Sarah took excellent care of my girl and sent plenty of updates throughout her visits, which really put my mind at ease. Thank you, Sarah!

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.

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 is always attentive to our cat, StormTrooper. He loves his humans and they picked up right where they left off from the last visit. Sarah is very flexible with her schedule and accommodating when she can.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:

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 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!

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.

Sarah is a joy to be around (for both people and cats!!). She never hesitates to make those around her comfortable and is very in tune with their needs. She has experience caring for cats, and has shown she is respectful, loving, and dedicated to their care. Sarah is a great communicator, reliable, and consistent, but also a FUN and KIND person. Your cat(s) will love her!
