I'm Catherine
Cat Sitting in Norfolk, VA
My full time job is working for an insurance company, where I write estimates on wrecked cars. I've been in this profession for over 35 years.
Norfolk, and parts of Virginia Beach, are my desired areas for sitting.
I really do love every cat I meet - even the ones that might not love me back! I know how scary and confusing it can be for a cat to be boarded, or even placed in someone else's home, regardless of how temporary it is. Their home, where everything smells like their people, is where they feel safest. I'll do my best to make sure your babies are well cared for, and feel safe and loved while you're away! And I'll happily text you as many pictures as you want, so you don't miss them (or worry) too much!

We love having Catherine at our home with our fluff ball. Eddie seems to really love her and looks very happy and occupied in her care. She brings a toy bag and special treats for him which he actually looks forward to. Catherine is great about sending pictures of him and notes about him.

Catherine was awesome! I have two girls, one is incredibly shy, the other is passive-aggressively territorial. she had both girls playing every visit with minimal complaint from either. she took excellent photos each visit (better than any I’ve been able to take of them). Catherine followed instructions to the letter. My girls loved her and we can’t recommend her enough.

Catherine Reese is the BEST cat sitter! Our Eddie loves her and knows that when she comes he will get special snacks and toys. He literally goes into her purse to see what is for him. We tell him "Catherine is coming!". I'm pretty sure he understands and when he sees luggage he knows he will be okay. Catherine sends the sweetest detailed messages about their visits and pictures of the two of them. I am so grateful for her and knowing that our baby is well taken care of.

As always, Catherine did an amazing job looking after my kitty. This was the longest I've had to leave her with someone else, and Catherine's regular and detailed updates with pictures helped give me peace of mind! She's super consistent and detail oriented, which is exactly what you need if your cat takes medicine like mine does. If you have a cat who has more complex needs, a specific routine, or is even just a bit particular, Catherine is the sitter for you!

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.
Norfolk cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!

I will be booking with Catherine every single time. she went above and beyond and got our two cats gifts, spent more time with them than we even asked for, sent so many pictures and videos and provided us with details of each visit with the cats. She is reliable, flexible, and very understanding. I felt like we shared the same love for cats and knew my babies were in safe hands. I left for seven days and my babies were well taken-care of

Catherine did an amazing job taking care of my sweet kitty! I was super nervous to leave her as she had just began a new medication; Catherine took notes on everything and made me feel much better about leaving her. The daily updates she sends are filled with pictures and let me know that my pet was being well cared for! I will absolutely be booking with Catherine again in the future!

Catherine was amazing. She always sent a detailed update on what she did with my cats each visit along with sending many photos and videos. she made sure the litter boxes were cleaned, the cats were fed, the cats had water, and that they played each visit. I am absolutely going to be a repeat customer. She’s amazing!

This is the longest I've ever been away from my kitties in years, partially because I have had former pet sitters not do a very good job with taking care of them. Catherine was a literal God-send. She sent me extensive updates each visit with them, to include several photos. She went above and beyond the basic care and played with them and gave them all the love and attention, as well as keeping things regularly cleaned up, scooped, and tidy. I couldn't be more grateful for Catherine, and am so grateful for the quality of care she provided Mr. Kitty and Little Girl. I won't consider anyone else for their future care so long as I'm in the area, and she's available to be their "Mom-away-from-Mom".

So happy we found Catherine through the Meowtel app! She is everything you could hope for in a sitter for your fur-children. During our meet & greet, both of my cats came out from their hiding spots pretty quickly, and accepted pets with little to no reservation. Catherine was super flexible with the times of day we wanted her to "visit", and was always right on time! She treated my cats like her own, giving them all of her attention and playing with them each time she visited! I loved the detailed message & photos we received after each visit - they made us feel reassured that our cats were content and happy while we were gone, and that we didn't have to worry. We will definitely book Catherine again each time we go out of town for a weekend or longer trip.

Catherine was incredible!! We could not have asked for a more caring sitter for our Bernie. The pictures she sent were wonderful, and numerous, even better than ones we have tried to take of him. And her messages at each visit were detailed with great highlights, humorous observations and overall comforting feedback. My husband and I have been hesitant to go away due to our sitter situation, now we have no worries at all. For people who consider their pets part of the family, Catherine is the sitter for you.
Brenda

Cathy was wonderful. She sent pics every visit and voiced any concerns she had throughout the reservation. My cats are not one to warm up to strangers, but they warmed up to her very quickly. I highly recommend her to care for your animals.

Catherine is a TRUE PRO!! My Eddie cat was in such good shape when we returned from our week long visit. He looked happy and fit and was playful and joyful. Catherine brings her "bag of tricks" - play toys for Ed and he knows what's in it is for him!!!! The best thing I love the most about Cat is that she sends us pictures of she and Ed playing together. She gets cute candid pix and sends them daily. This definitely helps our heartaches missing him. She leaves fun toys behind for him. I don't want to say too many good things for fear someone will steal Catherine from us! Just kidding, you'll be so grateful if you hire her! I"m so glad I found Meowtel and Cat!!!!

Catherine went above and beyond for our cats! This was the longest we've been away from our cats and were nervous about how they would handle it but Catherine was great with them. She made sure they were very well taken care of and had lots of playtime with them. They are normally very shy around new people but they warmed right up to her which does how great she was to them. The updates we received were very detailed and the pictures we got of them playing were so good and reassuring to us that they were doing well. We are so glad we found Catherine to care for our kitties and will definitely be asking her to watch them again. We could not recommend her enough!

Catherine is amazing! She watched our two cats for 12 days. I was nervous leaving them at home for the first time for this long. They are young and very playful. She did an amazing job playing with them, wearing them out, and loving them. Her pictures were so good that I had to screenshot them. I wholeheartedly recommend Catherine. She is an awesome sitter!

Cathrine and my cat is a gret combination. She feeds. Cleans up after and gives shots to my 14 year old cat. They play and I know my cat is well cared for while I am on vacation!

Catherine is a caring cat person and a very dependable cat sitter. My kitties are quite shy with strangers but she was sure to send me daily photos of them secure in their hiding spot under the sofa. She also assured me that they were playing and eating well... just when she wasn't there. I won't hesitate to have Catherine care for my little guys the next time I'm away.

Catherine did a tremendous job looking after my 19 year old cat while I was out of town for a week. Scheduling everything, including the initial meet-and-greet, was easy, and I’m glad she had so much experience with older and special needs cats. I’ll definitely book her again.

As always with Catherine, we came back to a very happy and content cat. Bernie adores Catherine and clearly she gives that extra to make him happy and less anxious. Her photos and videos are amazing (wish we could capture Bernie as well as she does!) and her messages are insightful and involved as to what type of mood and condition our fur baby may be in at that time. In short, she is a dream for anyone but especially those who see their cat as family and not just a pet!!

We just moved here recently and were traveling to UK for 8 days. I was worried about my 2 cats who have dealt with a lot of stress lately. From the first message, Kat was amazing and super helpful. She took amazing care of our cats and was even able to get my shy girl to come out and play and give lovins. Which normally doesn’t happen with anyone. She sent detailed messages and tons of cute photos to keep us updated while we were away. It was so wonderful to be able to enjoy our trip and not worry about our babies at home. I highly recommend Kat and I am so glad I have such a wonderful person to take care of our babies while were away. 💜
