Cat Sitting in Baltimore, MD

Hi there! My name is Eli and I have been a certified cat person for 10+ years. I have 6 cats who let me live in their house in Baltimore City (Chubbs, Nubbs, Birdie, Beans, Cashew, and Miss Kitty)

I have experience fostering cats and doing TNR (Trap, neuter, release) with feral cats in the city. I’m also an experienced knitter and a mediocre DIY home project attempter.

I have a flexible schedule so I can adapt as necessary to fit any special needs!

I’m happy to provide ...

I’m happy to provide as many updates or pictures as you’d like, I know leaving your pets behind is never easy! I’m comfortable with kitties that are shy, have special needs, or take medication. If you have any special routines or silly songs to perform, I will do my best to accommodate :)

I’m also happy to do any meet and greets before your trip to help ease and worries and meet your cats. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and take care of your babies!

Learn More About Eli

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The cats! 😂 I truly love cats and their quirky little personalities. They never fail to make me laugh and brighten my day. Pet sitting is like microdosing getting another cat and it’s the best.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 6 kitties myself! The cat distribution systems knows a sucker when it sees one (it’s me, I’m the sucker). Their names are Chubbs, Nubbs, Birdie, Cashew, Beans, and Miss Kitty. You can see a few of them in my photos :)

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

When it comes to timid and anxious kitties, I always make sure to go at their speed. If they are interested, I’ll make sure they have a chance to sniff me before I go too far into their space. And if they are less interested, I’ll go off of their body language and give them as much space as they need to feel safe. But you know your cat best! Let me know what they like or need and I’m happy to accommodate

Eli was the absolute best. I have such bad anxiety leaving my cats and he sent me pictures and videos of them everyday. He even brought his own toys for them and would turn on cat TV for them with sleep timers. 🥲 He really helped me be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my cats were well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with him again for future trips.

Eli was amazing. He was super patient, worked at gaining the trust of our very shy, skiddish girl, and it worked. He sent us photos of our girls every day with a note about how things were going. He took care of everything, including grabbing the mail for us so it wasn’t obvious we weren’t home. I think our cats were mad it was us walking in the door last night and not Eli.

Eli was very good with our cats. Our shy boy warmed up to him very quickly and our other little girl loved him from the start. Eli sent daily photos and videos throughout the reservation and made a point to come and meet the cats beforehand. Both of our cats asked for Eli next time we need a catsitter!

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.

Baltimore cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
