I'm Donna | Cat Sitting in Richmond, VA
*Fully Vaccinated, comfortable following sanitization and mask practices based on client’s preference and comfortability* Hi there! Here’s a little about me to find out if I could be a good fit to take care of your kitties while you’re away. I have always loved cats and asked incessantly for my mom to let us get a family cat for years. My dream came true and she took me to the shelter when I was 12 and we met a sweet little orange tabby (who is now a very large orange tabby) and named him Milo. At 15, Milo is still happily living with my mom and I visit him as much as I can. Venturing into my own adult life, I took the plunge and adopted a little kitty named Nox about three years ago and she has changed my life for the better with her cute cat naps, her energetic dashes down the hallway, and her commitment to hunting any small pieces of paper she can find. I have the lived experience of taking care of two healthy cats. I have experience with oc...

Donna's Reviews
Patricia
If I could give Donna a 10 star review, I would! We had hired her before and she was fabulous! This time with some bumps in the road, she went way beyond expectations. When she saw ants in my cat’s food, she cleaned the bowl, relocated the food and offered to get any traps, purchased them and located them to the perfect spots. Later when our 10 year smoke alarm decided to go off, she located it and offered to meet someone there to have it fixed. She communicated with me by text and phone. All way beyond cat care time! She is the best!! 😻
Nikki
Donna did such a great job with our 6 kitties and even went above and beyond to drop food for the community cats we look over. She was on time every day, sent lots of photos, and gave updates on everything. We were nervous to use a cat sitter for the first time but so happy we found Donna.
Jessica
Donna was very easy to communicate with, and she took great care of Clio. This was our first time using a pet sitter, and it was nice to come home to a cat that wasn't stand-offish.
Ori
Donna is great with our cats and even gets our shyer cats to come around 🤗 She provides a lot of detail, photos and speedy responses! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a detail oriented, cat whisperer of a cat sitter! She clearly loves working with the kitties 💗
Tim
Donna was the highlight of our vacation. Unfortunately due to a terrible experience with VRBO and the condo owner we cut our vacation to one night. Donna was very understanding and as always very helpful. Sorry Donna to come back so soon.

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

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 $33.00. 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.
