I grew up with two cats, and a few years ago I started volunteering at an animal shelter, where my adoration for animals blossomed. I’ve fostered and rescued countless cats, and I’m very mindful of any and all cat-related issues. With more timid kitties, I’ve found that sitting on the floor with a treat and allowing them to approach me at their own pace works wonders.

I have five cats of my own (who are featured in my profile pics!).

Please reach out with any questions :)

Learn More About Cecilia

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have five :) their names are Enzo, Mimo, Tito, Shelly, and Remy. Enzo, Mimo, and Shelly were all fosters who I ended up adopting; Tito is a former stray who I brought back from Turkey; and I rescued Remy in Richmond the day after I moved here!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

As a cat guardian myself, I know that trusting strangers to take care of our precious kitties can be hard. Letting the sitter know you’re anxious is always helpful—that way, I can make sure to address any of those anxieties during our meet and greet.

Cecilia was a delight to work with! She’s very communicative and does a great job with specific care instructions/needs. One of my cats needed oral and eye medications and she handled it like a pro! I’m very grateful to have had her help while I was out of town and would absolutely recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a cat sitter.

Cecelia was wonderful! She accommodated my last minute request and then was able to do one morning more when my flight was cancelled. She was super communicative and sent lots of detailed updates and photos. I highly recommend her and would use her again.

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.

Richmond 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!
