I'm Catherine | Cat Sitting in Norfolk, VA
I'm truly a "cat person" through & through. I've had many, many cats throughout my life (with some dogs, a flying squirrel, & a bunny thrown in over the years). I currently have a number of cats of my own, all rescues, ranging in age from 6 to 17. I also feed several feral & stray cats that visit me at least twice a day for meals, and often throughout the day, just for some affection. I've been volunteering at a local no-kill shelter for about 4 years, where I'm part of a specialized team that works with socializing scared, traumatized cats, or cats with behavioral issues, in order to ready them for adoption. There are no words to describe the feeling of watching a terrified, untrusting soul blossom into a beautiful, affectionate little cat that gets excited when they realize someone is coming to visit with them. Their transformations have been so inspiring and heartwarming! My full time job is working ...
Catherine's Reviews
Deborah
Catherine obviously loves cats, she demonstrates a consistently high level of care. I feel very confident having Catherine watch our kitties!
Rebecca
Catherine is amazing! I have two cats and one is shy. He often hides around new people but he absolutely loves her! She definitely has a way with kitties.
Kathryn
Once again, Catherine did fantastic with my sweet girl! she took tons of photos with every update so I could see all the fun times they were having while I was away. I've booked with Catherine several times now and it makes it much easier to travel knowing my baby is in such good hands!
Amy
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.
Lacey
Catherine truly goes above and beyond to make sure our kitty feels safe and happy. She has excellent communication throughout. Cannot recommend her enough!

Frequently Asked Questions
Norfolk cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
