Sylvia was great. Very prompt and caring. One of my cats that usually hides from strangers went right to her. She left the house very clean and both my cats were happy and well fed when we returned. I will definitely request Sylvia for our next trip.

Sylvia was great. She took good care of my cats and stayed over 3 nights. She was very neat and clean in our home. She also noticed that one of my cats had developed a small cyst near his ear, and I’ve made a vet appointment for him. We like Sylvia very much and plan to ask for her for all our trips.

Sylvia is fantastic! One of my cats requires oral medication and she did everything perfectly. Thank you Sylvia!

I can highly recommend Sylvia. My two boys are a bit of a special case and Sylvia went out of her way to accommodate them. She is easy to book and communicate with. I really appreciate her taking the time to understand their individual personalities because we have some quirky ones.

Sylvia is truly a cat lover and cats love her too. She is a thoughtful person who is very focused on the needs of the cat. She knows how to get cats to have fun and feel loved. Sylvia is very responsible and is a good communicator. I don't think you could find a better person to look after your cat.

Sylvia is such a pleasure to work with and soooo good with my cat! Sometimes my cat, Evelina, can be shy with new people, but she warmed right up to Sylvia. She intuitively knew how to build trust with my feline friend. I can really feel the love that she brings into what she does. I trust her to take care of my kitty!

Sylvia is a hard worker that will do a job exactly how you want it to be done. With her past experience in cat sitting, she is a fantastic option if you want someone who will be respectful to you and your cat(s), pay attention to instructions given about specifics, and have clear communication. She loves cats and understands that pets are special friends that need extra care while their parent is away.

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 $26.00. 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.
