I'm Christina
Cat Sitting in Sterling, VA
I do have a cat of my own named Luci. I enjoy spending time with cats so I understand their body language and behaviors. I treat all cats with respect and as if they were my own pet.
Learn More About Christina
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I am usually available during holidays.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love playing with string toys! The cats usually love "stalking" it and jumping in the air!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
If a cat is anxious or timid I usually give them their space while also sitting in the same room as them so they get used to me. Sometimes I offer treats or a toy to help them feel more comfortable.

Christina was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I could see when she met them that she is good with cats and looking at their personalities. I would call her again!

Christina is absolutely wonderful! Houdini recognized her immediately from the last cat sitting and he was happy to see her. She provided daily photos of Houdini which were appreciated and put my mind at ease. Christina consistently follows feeding, litter, and medication instructions and spends extra time playing with Houdini. I returned to a happy, relaxed cat and a clean home. Christina is very professional and has a genuine love for animals; I highly recommended Christina and will book her again.

we had a very good experience with Christina, who took care of our cats for two weeks while we were on vacation. she stayed at our home, fed them twice a be day, administered her medication and treats, and kept us opiated with regular messages and photos. she was attentive, responsible, and always reached out if anything seemed unusual or needed clarification I would recommend her without hesitation for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.

I can’t recommend Christina highly enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to caring for my cat. Not only is she incredibly reliable and professional, but she also genuinely loves animals, and it shows. Every time I come home, I can tell my cat has been well cared for, happy, and relaxed. She takes the time to play, gives plenty of affection, and always keeps me updated with little messages or photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s rare to find someone you can trust so fully with your pet and your home, but Christina truly goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive, look no further — your pets will be in the best hands!

Christina did a great job of keeping Dolly happy and entertained during our 2 week vacation! The meet and greet prior to our trip went very well: Dolly took to Christina immediately. Christina made sure to get all of the important details prior to our departure, and we were happy with her responsiveness and communication while we were away. She even offered to water our plants! Overall, we had peace of mind that our kitty was in good hands.

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.
Sterling cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!

My two cats are very affectionate but shy, and typically don’t let people near them. They both took to Christina and in a few days they were letting her for pet them and coming over for more. She is a true “cat whisperer”!

Christina is amazing. She coordinated with me during the reservation process to block out her schedule 6 months in advance of the travel, she followed up with me months later prior to the start of travel to coordinate keys/access, she provided fun photos while we traveled, and upon return the house was neat and tidy as we left it. I appreciate Christina's prompt response to messages. I will be a repeat customer.

Christina was wonderful! My cat, Bub, loved her visits and she was very attentive, took notes, followed instructions very well, and was prompt. I loved receiving her updates with pictures of Bub while I was away and I feel extremely confident she was in the best care. I look forward to booking Christina in the future and would highly recommend her services!

I would highly recommend Christina! The Meet & Greet was very helpful and we felt very comfortable leaving our cats in her hands. She sent great pics from each visit and our shy kitty was comfortable enough with her to come out and play each time. When we got back, we had two very happy kitties and two happy mommies!

I was surprised that the more skittish of my two cats came out during Christina’s first short feeding visit to my house. in the days that followed, my other cat also made appearances. I will definitely be calling on Christina to feed and play with my cats during future travel.

Christina took care of our baby kitty when we were out for almost a weeks time. She did excellent job and was very patient with our furr baby. This was our first time leaving our cat in a pet sitter’s care, and Christina made the whole process so smooth for us and our kitty. She followed all our instructions and took responsibility of our shy cat. She updated us everyday with our kitty’s pictures on every visit. Thanks Meowtel and Christina for all your love and support to our baby I. our absence.

We have had multiple visits with her in the past whenever we have to leave for a short trips. Christina is a pro when it comes to taking care of our purr baby. Our cat Bella loves her and instantly gets comfortable when she sees Christina. She is very professional and compassionate about her job. Highly recommend!!

This is the second time Christina took care of our baby kitty Bella in our absence. She was well fed and well taken care of. Christina is the best at what she does when it comes to baby sit our kitty. Bella looked so happy and healthy when we came back. Thanks Christina for all the efforts and passion you put towards taking care of these babies when their parents are out. You are the Best! Highly recommended!
