I'm Laleh
Cat Sitting in Vienna, VA
I have raised cats from kittenhood through their senior years - I am open to sitting pets of all ages and can differentiate for their specific needs, including medications. I also have experience with a variety of pet related technology, such as automatic litter boxes and microchip-activated feeders... I've been lucky to share my home with cats since the age of 5 and have been pet sitting for the past 7 years. Pets are family and have brought so much joy to my life, so I know how your furry family members bring joy into yours!

I also have experience with a variety of pet related technology, such as automatic litter boxes and microchip-activated feeders.
Every visit includes detailed reports and pictures - I am a photography hobbyist and pride myself in my ability to capture your kitty's personality through photos! You will know that your pet is safe and comfortable (and also has a new head shot!).
Let me know your pet's preferences! High energy kitty? Let's play! More of a cuddle bug? Let's snuggle! Maybe it's that time of year and your fur baby is shedding everywhere - let me help with the brushing!
You can rest easy, knowing that I am individually insured through Pet Sitters Associates.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for the past seven years. I specialize in drop-in visits for cats and pride myself in my ability to meet each cat where they’re at in order to make them comfortable and earn their trust!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to meet so many kitties, each with their own unique purrsonalities! It’s very rewarding when you have gained a kitty‘s trust and they let their true personality shine around you!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two cats: an orange and white boi named Andy, who is my very polite but timid boy, and a dilute tortie, Olive, who is my mischievous girl!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Setting up an initial meet and greet prior to the start of a booking is preferred. That way, I can get to know you and your fuzzball (and vice versa)! I want to cater your kitty's experience to their wants and needs - the more you can tell me about your furry family member, the better! Anything from favorite treats, their most-used toys, to most frequented hiding spots. I pride myself in my ability to connect with cats of varying personalities and knowing these things can help your kitty and I bond more quickly! In addition, if your kitty has any medical needs (e.g. medications, relevant diagnoses), please let me know.

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.
Vienna 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!
