I'm Sandra
Cat Sitting in Woodbridge, VA
I currently have a Russian blue, ragdoll, and ... Hello there, my name is Sandra, I’ve owned my cats for 10 years now, yet have always had cats in my life since the age of 8. As a young adult, I started working for pet sitting companies in the NoVA area, building my love for all different breeds and temperaments.
I currently have a Russian blue, ragdoll, and tuxedo that are my world and I’m teaching my children how to love them as well. I bring this exact same care to your furbabies with an eye for detailed service. Cats are part of the family and I attended to make them feel comfortable and safe while you are away.
I’m qualified in giving oral medicines as well.
Learn More About Sandra
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been a pet sitter professionally and on my own for 10 years now. I worked for several companies around Northern VA.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love cats and I enjoy meeting all different types of breeds. I have a ragdoll at home and I have been able to meet some exotic breeds through my clientele like the Cornish Rex.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I used to sit these two older brothers and I really enjoyed spending their golden years together. I’ll never forget their warmth and playful, kitten like mentality.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have four cats, Harlocke (Russian blue mix) and Yuki (Ragdoll) are my babies I’ve had for 10 years now. My husband had a Russian blue of his own, Caesia, and we adopted a tuxedo (Plu) together once we married.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Make sure you vibe well with your cat sitter, that you ask them what they are comfortable with, and hopefully that matches what you are looking for. Not all sitters understand breed temperament, so make sure they have worked with your cat’s personality type. That understanding will come through
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I like to understand where everything is, i.e, litter box, food bowls, sleeping areas, hiding spots are. Do they like certain sounds or turned off by certain smells? I want to make sure I foster the best understanding and make sure I’ll mesh well with you and your baby.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I lock all doors while in and after I leave, ALWAYS. You never know in this crazy world. I never give out details to anyone of my clientele to insure the safety of the home.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I have two young toddlers, so I’ currently limiting how many sits I take on holidays. Please book ahead to get priority.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love laser toys the most, as it really gets them moving and grooving. I think it’s super important to get your cat exercised, as most live very docile lives. It’s important to get that latent energy out (or they will take it out on your furniture!)
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I give them their space, it might take a few visits before they warm up. Forcing an encounter never ends up well.

Sandra did a great job taking care of my two cats! She followed the care instructions perfectly, gave lots of snuggles and playtime to the kitties, and gave me thorough updates with pictures every day.

Sandra was amazing! She always arrived at the time we agreed upon and gave my pets plenty of attention and care. It was very comforting knowing she didn’t simply arrive, change the cat litter, feed the cats, then sit on her phone the rest of the visit until she left (some pet sitters have done this before). Honestly, she provided me so much relief while on vacation sending plenty of photos from each visit. 10/10 recommend.

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.
Woodbridge 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!

my family got stuck without having a cat sitter for 3 days at the last minute and found Sandra the evening before we left. very kind, knowledgeable, and cats LOVE her. without you, my husband would not have been able to attend the trip and not getting refunded for a stressful trip as I was.
