I'm Patricia | Cat Sitting in Richmond, VA
Hello! My name is Patty, and I have been a cat lover/owner for over 50 years! My first cat was Tinkerbell, a shelter cat my parents adopted for me on my 7th birthday. And that was the start of my official cat-loving life as Tinkerbell was followed by 6 others! That being said, there has been only one 3 month stretch when I was without a cat. Currently, my husband and I have a 14 1/2 year old Tuxedo named Happy or Hap for short. I love the laid-back attitude of cats and their ability to decide when and who they will befriend. I also respect that each cat has his/her own personality and will decide when he/she is ready to approach a new person. I have had experience tending to cats who need to take oral and topical medicines as well as finicky and shy cats. In the past, I volunteered at a local animal shelter where I w...

Patricia's Reviews
Sean
Patricia does an amazing job taking care of my cat whenever I’m away ! She was incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and lots of photos that really put my mind at ease. It was clear from the pictures and the messages that she truly cared and took the time to bond with my cat. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive cat sitter!

Thank you so much for your help! It looks like Porsche and Roland had a great time during your visits. I appreciate your help!
Benjamin
As with previous visits, Patricia did a great job with a complicated regimen for my two senior cats. As my plans shifted after the initial booking, she also was flexible in accommodating the new schedule, which I'm really grateful for!
Gina

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.
