I'm Lorraine
Cat Sitting in Woodbridge, VA
I babysat my daughters bengal cats many times while she was in college and on trips.
Im such a cat person that if it weren't for my husband limiting my animal intake, I'd probably be the neighborhood cat lady!
My goal is to not just provide food,... I have had cats my entire life from growing up to my now 15 year old bengal Rocky, who I've had since he was a kitten!

My goal is to not just provide food, water, medicine and a clean litter box, but also hugs, kisses, cuddles and of course play time! Feathers, wands, laser pointers, sneak attacks... We'll do it all and have a blast!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've cat sit for my daughters cats numerous times over the past 3 years. She was in college, had an apartment and needed help caring for them with her busy schedule.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I have sat for my adult daughter's cats multiple times while she was busy in college and now with her full time job. Just those precious babies purring and playing, I can't pick a favorite time.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes! My cats name is Rocky. He is a marble bengal that is about to turn 15! I have had him since hecwas 8 weeks old.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
First and foremost make sure the sitter Loves cats. That goes miles above just liking them. Put a list together of needs/wants during sit and if mutille cats, name and picture of each help greatly.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
A virtual or in person meet and greet, getting to know the cat and their routine. Likes and dislikes, temperament, schedule, etc.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I keep door closed and watch my surroundings as I enter/exit so no escapes happen. If in kitten phase especially, all items small and chewable get put away.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes I am available holidays with booking in advance so I can make sure my schedule is open for you.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toy is probably the wand with feathers on end or a mouse cause my cat loves to chase and do sneak attacks!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Quite often it is about them just becoming comfortable. I have played with a wand seeing if they'd play, tried to hand out a treat or simply sat down and they may come sit on my kap.

Woodbridge cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!
