Learn More About Nancy

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

1 year with Meowtel but many more years with family and friends’ cats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new kitties and making them feel loved and comfortable.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Kitties that are happy to see me and are hungry for a meal and wanting some play time.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My kitties are Milo (10 years old) and Theo (8 years old). I got them when they were just babies and cannot imagine a home without these boys.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Find someone who knows and loves cats. Someone who is gentle with your cat and allow them space until they get to know you better. Be thorough in cleaning the cat box. Dispose of waste properly.Clean up after the cats eat and wash the dishes and sink nicely. Go above and beyond - take in the mail, set out garbage cans, water plants, etc. (If requested)

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Plan a meet and greet to get to know each other and to meet the kitties. Learn about their needs and how they would like me to work with their cats, where items are stored, etc.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Open the door very carefully to make sure there are not escapes. Never let the kitties outside. Keep items that could be broken off counter tops. Follow all instructions regarding rooms the cats may not go into.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I'm available most holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The "cat dancer" is most loved by my kitties. It is small cardboard "bugs" on a wire that bounce around and really make my cats want to get them. My kitty, Milo, also loves chasing and trying to get the red dot.

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

I try to ignore them and just sit quietly and see if they will come up to me and check me out. I will speak in a soft voice so they know I am not threatening. If they do come up to me , I might try to play with them.

This was our second time having Nancy to sit our 2 kitties. She's communicative, always sends lots of pics, and is so good with the kitties, very patient with our scaredy cat, and with our food obsessed one. They also got plenty of playtime. We'll continue to ask her to sit for "the boys" and highly recommend!

Highly recommend Nancy as a cat sitter. Every day she sent updates explaining what she did (e.g. played with cat, cleaned litter, re-filled water, etc) and sent several cute pictures. She was very reliable, nice, and professional.

Nancy is an outstanding cat-sitter and an amazing person. She is thoughtful and conscientious . Nancy took care of my cat and- - fed the fish and watered the plants without being asked to do that. Nancy is very responsive, sending photos daily and updating me about my aging housemate. I simply cannot say enough to express my gratitude and thanks to her for caring for Buttercup.

Nancy took care of my 10 month old kitten for a week while we were on vacation. She reliably visited twice a day and sent an update and pics during each visit. She was also very responsive to all messages sent while we were away. I will definitely book Nancy again and recommend her to anyone else in need of a cat sitter.

Nancy is the gold standard when it comes to cat sitters. This time when we went away, she solved a problem we were having with our kitty dropping food in her food bowl. She is always "all in" when she accepts a job. We love her!

Nancy has been great with our new Siberian kitten. She came by for visits during the day while my husband and I were at work. She is reliable and provides updates and pics during each visit.

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.

Bethesda cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
