I'm Crystal
Cat Sitting in Roanoke, VA
I’m hardworking, caring, loving, and can do things w... I have been a huge cat lover for all of my life. I have a passion for animals and can empathize and understand them. I have a lot of knowledge on cats and their behavior. I know a good chunk of cat breeds and their personalities and behavior. Even if a cat is difficult, I can understand and empathize with them.
I’m hardworking, caring, loving, and can do things without being told. Though I am a bit shy and quiet sometimes especially when I first meet people. But that doesn’t mean I’m not capable of conversations. I would like a house visit first to get to know the owners and the cats before confirming anything. Getting to know the owners and cats is my top priority and I want to know as much information on them as possible
Learn More About Crystal
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Doing research on cats is vital. I high recommend buying food and water bowls, toys, scratching posts, and a litter box before getting the cat. I had to learn this the hard way. I also recommend doing research on certain cat breeds to see if the person is capable of owning a certain breed
What is your favorite cat toy?
I have a lot of favorites but my go tos are teaser toys, balls, mice, worms on a string, and kick toys
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I respect their boundaries and let them get used to my presence. I will not force them to interact with me if they’re scared. I let them come to me instead of forcing them. I’d be scared too if something like that happened to me

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.
Roanoke cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
