What questions should I ask a cat sitter in an interview?
The best cat sitters in Alexandria, VA have a combination of experience and passion for cat care. Ask questions about the types of pets they have personally owned and how often they are currently cat sitting.

It's also a good idea to give specific scenarios to the cat sitter you're speaking to so you can have a good idea of how they will treat your cat when they are in your home. Be sure to ask for references from other cat parents in Alexandria that have worked with the sitter of your preference.
