Learn More About Abigail

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been a trusted catsitter in Richmond for over 2 years. I have over 70 repeat clients and rave reviews! I pride myself on sending detailed visit notes, high quality cat photos, and keeping your home neat & tidy. I have experience giving oral medication, injections with both needles and insulin pens, subcutaneous fluids, and ear cream medication to cats — both my own & clients. I would be more than happy to care for your kitty that needs these services.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Once you reach out to me, we will schedule a meet & greet for me to meet your cat, see your space, and go over their care instructions. We will also exchange a key or other access information at this time!

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

Shy cats have my heart! Nothing makes me happier than finally connecting with a timid, anxious kitty. I take it slow and let them be the leader. I find success by sitting on the floor at their level and giving them plenty of time to sniff me. I move slow and try to be as quiet as possible. I also make sure they knows I am the food provider, so they trust me more ;)

Every time my wife and I go out of town and have Abigail watching our three cats, I say some variation of "I am sure am glad we have such a great petsitter watching the cats." Usually more than once. Abigail is a professional whose love and respect for cats is obvious. It's a great peace of mind to have her watching our cats, especially when we've been gone for longer periods of over a week. She is highly communicative, and capable of handling more complex needs like cats needing medication and coaxing to eat. If you want a competent, respectful sitter who will send you detailed updates and lots of pictures of your cats, Abigail is the one.

Abigail is an excellent cat sitter who goes above and beyond to care for my cats. I have four neurotic cats with complex needs and they all love Abigail! I can tell by their state of mind when I return that she actually gives them attention and plays with them. She is a prompt communicator and always follows my instructions exactly. She also could have a second career in cat photography with all of the great photos and updates that she sends!

Frequently Asked Questions

Richmond cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
