Christina's Cat Sitting

I'm Christina

Cat Sitting in Sterling, VA

I love cats and they love me back! Some of my friends have called me a cat whisperer because I can get even the shy cats to come out and say hi! I enjoy spending time with them and playing. I currently work 9am to 5:30pm Monday through Friday in McLean so I am free to check in on cats in the morning before work... I love cats and they love me back! Some of my friends have called me a cat whisperer because I can get even the shy cats to come out and say hi! I enjoy spending time with them and playing. I currently work 9am to 5:30pm Monday through Friday in McLean so I am free to check in on cats in the morning before work, after work, and on the weekends. My work hours are pretty set so work will not interfere with after work or weekend drop ins.

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.

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.

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.

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 $29.00. 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!
