Premium care for cats in their own home

After 50+ cat sittings done by Cat Sitting by Susan, I can honestly say, you will not find better anywhere in the NoVa area. We've had a few different sitters from here, and they were so lovely and so wonderful with our kitty. I've had bad experiences with other services before that made me scared to leave my boy with a sitter. My worries have been washed away by the kindness, caring, and professionalism from all the Cat Sitting by Susan staff.

I can’t recommend this cat sitting service enough they are truly the best. I’m able to go out of town with zero stress about my 2 cats. We have a very particular schedule and routine, and Susan’s team absolutely knocks it out of the park when it comes to customized pet care. They’re incredibly professional, reliable, and extremely communicative. They do a thorough intake upfront to understand exactly what your pet needs before visits even begin. Then during each visit, they provide detailed updates and documentation so you always know how things are going. You can tell they genuinely love and understand cats, and it’s worth every single penny. We adore our sitter, Carolina, and have used her several times and will absolutely continue to.

I just wanted to update my review because CbS is just so incredible. We recently went on another trip and got outstanding communication. I think one of our cats actually prefers our catsitter to us. They really, really care about cats!

We had a great experience with our cat sitter, Chris. She was incredibly sweet and caring with our two kitties, who can be pretty squirmy—especially when it comes to medication and fluids—but she handled it all with patience and skill. She sent us detailed updates after each visit, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our cats really warmed up to her, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. We’re so happy with the service and will definitely continue to use her. Highly recommend to any fellow cat parents!

Every time I need help with my cats, I don’t have doubt to call Susan’s team. They are so professional and my cats love them!! 100% recommended!!

Big shout out to Jean who takes care of our kitties and does an A+ job. Our 3 cats have various needs for meds, etc and we literally could not go away without Jean and her excellent care. We can relax knowing she is caring for them so well. This is an excellent and well managed company overall.

We went out of town without our sweet kitties for the first time this weekend. Initially I was a bit nervous to leave them, but Cat Sitting by Susan did an outstanding job and put my mind at ease!! Our sitter, Annie, was absolutely amazing. She sent us videos, photos, and a written report/check-in each day to keep us updated on how the cats were doing. She is so sweet and clearly cares about the cats she’s sitting - after just a couple visits, even our shy kitty was greeting her at the door and wanting pets! She brought toys and played with the cats each day to keep them active - and also gifted us their favorite wand toy as a present! She even swept up the area around their ltiter box so that we had a clean place to come home to, which was much appreciated. Overall, I cannot recommend Cat Sitting by Susan enough! The sitters are very friendly, communicative, and don’t just take care of your kitties - they treat them as their own!

Jean has been watching my diabetic fur baby for about a year now and we couldnt be happier with her help. It is hard to leave your pet, but I feel less guilty when Jean comes to watch Roscoe! I get really great detailed reports and she cares for him like one of her own pets. Highly recommend!

Outstanding pet service! Going on trips is so much easier knowing our cat is being well cared for.

We had an amazing experience with cat sitting by Susan! As first time cat owners to two young kitties (5 and 8 months), we were a bit anxious about leaving them in someone else’s care, but from the very beginning their professionalism and care put us at ease! Eva, our sitter, did an amazing job giving careful care and love to both cats, especially our younger one with a cold who needed several mix-ins in his food. Her detailed updates and videos after each visit helped assure us they were in good hands. Would 100% recommend Susan, Eva, and the team.

We used Catsitting By Susan to watch our kitties while we were on vacation for 9 days. They were amazing! Lana was our sitter and she was so great, and sent us daily videos and a little write-up of how our kitties were doing. Highly recommend and will be using them going forward!!

We had a wonderful experience with pet sitter Ranock. This business is very thorough and thoughtful in all of their practices and policies. We felt like our sweet girl was in great hands while we were away. Their services are not cheap but it's extremely reasonable for the amount of care and consideration your cat will get during visits. You will get videos and photographs of your cat daily which is very reassuring.

Cat Sitting by Susan is a highly organized, professional, and loving cat sitting service. I moved to Virginia and had to travel within 4 days of my move. Cat Sitting by Susan took care of my fur babies in the long-stay hotel without any issues. They have many pet sitters with good availability and they try to keep you with the same sitter each time. I LOVE that they specialize in cat care. Now that I'm settled into a residence, Haley continues to care for my girls- and even got the shy one to come out!! Highly recommend!
