I'm Sarah W
Cat Sitting in Virginia Beach, VA
I enjoy all aspects of cat care - cleaning, brushing, playing, cuddling. I am a retired, registered cat breeder and because of my Internet presence, people who were not even my pet pawrents have sought my advice of kitty matters. I seem to understand cats. Nothing makes me happier than kitties, yours or mine.
Learn More About Sarah W
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have 50 years experience with kitties both personally and raising spectacular kittens for adoption. I have experience from neonates to senior kitties. I am a recently retired, TICA registered Highlander cat breeder.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy developing a relationship with each individual kitty. There are those high energy youngsters who want to play, play, play and need to learn some social skills. There are the shy ones. There are the ones who might have a special health issue and need different attention. To work with cats, one must think like a cat. Sometimes you have to ask a cat, why are you doing this, not in a mean way, just to try to understand. One of the things I have enjoyed most about dealing with cats, is getting to know each Cat Mom or Dad and family. It's a Cat Thing.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I will follow all directions from the Cat Pawrents. Make sure the kitties can not get out of the home when I enter or exit. If there is any concern about the kitties or the home, I will contact the Cat Pawrents immediately.

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.
Virginia Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
