I'm Antonie
Cat Sitting in Catonsville, MD
I started volunteering at BARCS in June of 2021 socializing cats. I quickly made my way up to a level 3 behavior cat socializer and was their trainer for all new cat socializers. I also foster behavioral/under-socialized kittens from time-to-time when needed. I volunteered at Barcs untill February 2023. I switched to Baltimore County Animal Shelter, where i used to go twice a week and clean/socialize the kitties... I used to be an online streamer with a passion for animals, especially cats. I have grown up with animals all my life, but knew cats were my passion when I met my now wife’s cat 17 years ago. We have since gotten married and have had an average of 4 cats living with us at any one time. Our current count is 7 and the ages range from 5 months to 16 years.

I switched to Baltimore County Animal Shelter, where i used to go twice a week and clean/socialize the kitties. Catsitting became a bigger part of my life and due to that ice dialed my volunteering down to doing fostering and events. Something I want to get better at is medicating cats. Ive become a certified cat trainer after I graduated a course through Animal Behavior College and use what I learned to help my clients with issues if they would like me to.
I'm willing to travel up to 25 miles to help people out as I know from my own experience how hard it can be to find a good and reliable cat sitter. I'm very flexible and willing to work with the needs of my clients. I'm also up-to-date with my Covid/booster vaccinations and have no issues wearing a mask during my visits if it's desired.
FOR MY REPEAT CLIENTS:
If there is ever a need during a time i am not available PLEASE feel free to contact me, if possible i might still be able to help out.
FOR PEOPLE LOCATED ON FORT MEADE:
I recently did my first army base sit and all in all it was pretty smooth, qualified to get my visitor pass and completed the sit. So I'm very happy to say, as long as a visitor pass can be arranged I will be able to watch kitties on Fort Meade.
Learn More About Antonie
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've been a cat sitter since July 2022, since then I have done over 100 sits with several repeat clients. My experience with cats is about 16 years with the cats that came with my marriage, my wife had 2 cats. My main cat experience is from working at the shelters where I have been volunteering since June 2021 and worked with every type of cat from the friendly ones to the ones I'm more attracted to the shy, fearful and not so friendly cats. Ive become a certified cat trainer in 2023 and help clients if they ask me for help.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
THE CATS, getting to know them and getting to know their quirks what do they love, how can I make their time without their family a good time.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 7 cats. Smokey, 16 year Old male.. Smokey is a grey tuxedo. Got him as a kitten. Floki, our little 3 year old mischievous tabby. A bundle of energy we adopted in Dec 2022 after foster fail Owlette, our 3 year old foster fail we fostered a year without application Freyja, our 1.5 year old long haired, polydactyl tortie Cupcake, our 1.5 year old brat, Shy if she's roaming, but wants all the cuddles when in a room. Amara, our 1.5 year old beautiful lynxpoint siamese mix. Trjegul our 5 month old long-haired orange tiger. I rescued him during 2026s first snow storm.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Make sure during the meet&greet that you click with the sitter. If it doesn't feel right don't hire them. Trust your gut
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
New clients i try to set up a meet & greet whenever its convenient for the cat parent. I go to the meet & greet with my notebook and take notes, that are important things for me to remember. During the meet & greet i also talk about my volunteering and i try to interact with the kitties, if they shy i leave it up to the kitties, if they want we can interact if not that's fine too.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
i always make sure i lock the door behind me and check that the door locked. If any cabinets are opened i close them. In the end you can be as cautious as you want, but you can never 100% guarantee any of it as you are only there for a small part of the day.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, im available during holidays. I have a rule where if im not available repeat clients can contact me to see if i can fit them in. This way i can control how many visits i have during these busy times, without dissapointing my repeat clients. For example this last christmas i had days with 8 visits, i locked them when i had about 5 visits, so i could control the rest of the sits, without getting overbooked, or having to decline bookings.
What is your favorite cat toy?
The 1 your cat wants to play with. The cat sits aren't about me, they are about the cats, so what i like isn't important, its what the cat likes that is. I often bring toys with me on sits, especially when the cats aren't really forthcoming.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I give every cat their space. If they want to come out GREAT !! If not that's okay too. I make sure that food has been eaten, the litterbox has been used. If that's happened then i know the cat is okay. If this ain't the case then it's time to reach out to the cat parents and possibly ask for favorite hiding spots, just to make sure the cats are okay.

The cats and I are absolutely blessed to have found Antonie for cat sitting. When he came for the meet and greet he had the names of each one of 5 cats within 5 minutes, and even close family members take longer than that, and friends even longer. He LOVES cats and treats each one with specificity and personal care. He is polite and supportive of the person as well! I feel as safe as I could possibly feel leaving my cats, and home, with Antonie when I have to be away. And he helps them emotionally and physically grow as well!

Antonie went above and beyond when watching our two cats over a holiday weekend. We have one cat in particular who’s known to be really difficult with sitters, and Antonie took time prior to the sit to understand the situation and prepare accordingly. He also worked with us to pivot mid-sit when out original plan didn’t go as expected. He’s very intentional about making sure each cat is as comfortable as they can be in a potentially stressful situation. We really appreciate his approach and his communication before, during and after the sit.

Wpe’ve worked with Antonie twice now and have appreciated his thoroughness, communication, and dedication to the cats he sits SO MUCH. We have two cats, one of whom (Marty) is incredibly difficult with sitters, and Antonie took the time ahead of, throughout, and after each visit to discuss Marty’s needs and behavior, to review what might be needed next time, and to understand how to set everyone up for success. He even made a major pivot to the plan on his very first visit when the arrangement we’d planned didn’t go as expected. Antonie is communicative, proactive, and very patient with the cats. We absolutely recommend him!

I knew Antonie would be a great choice when he immediately sat down on the floor upon arriving for the walk-thru and played with our kitties. He was very good about communicating following each visit and sent lots of great pictures! We felt very comfortable leaving our precious fur babies with him while we were many states away for 10 days. A wonderful choice - we will use his services again!

We - both humans and cats - love Antonie! From our first interaction via Meowtel to the meet and greet, we were so impressed by his professionalism, overall demeanor, expertise and passion for cats. He is incredibly kind, communicative, and a cat whisperer! My one cat is very hesitant around humans until after some time has passed, but Antonie had him out and about on day one! I HIGHLY recommend Antonie for your cat sitting needs and I will book him over and over again for future sittings!

Catonsville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!

Antonie goes so far above and beyond to keep my kitties happy and well cared for. One of them has been a little fussy with her medication lately, but he figured out a whole new strategy to give it that worked smoothly and better than what I had been doing myself! With Antonie, I can always feel at ease knowing my two cats are safe and happy. 100% recommend!

Antonie is ideal - my two cats, always skittish with strangers, immediately took to him upon first meeting. They are so comfortable and trusting with him, and he absolutely embodies kindness. The most “gentle giant” you are ever likely to meet; his natural connection with cats is uncanny! Could not recommend anyone more highly than Antonie - he’s the greatest!!

As always, Antonie did an exceptional job of caring for my kitties. Besides the basics of food, water, scooping litter, I know that he really spends time interacting with my cats because the comments he leaves after each of his visits are full of observations that definitely show that he has gotten to know the personalities of each of the cats.

We had a great experience with Antonie, who stayed in our home for 2.5 weeks to care for our three cats. He provided thoughtful care and kept us well updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. It’s clear he genuinely loves cats and takes his work seriously—we came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. Knowing someone responsible was staying overnight gave us real peace of mind. We’d gladly recommend him to other cat guardians!

One of my cats is a 13-year old Bengal male who can be a little grumpy and prone to overstimulation at times, but Antonie was so patient with him and by the end of my trip, they were best buds. Antonie is the best! I love all the photo and video updates to feel more at ease knowing my kitties are happy throughout my trips.

Antonie is a pro. We have used his services several times in the past. We have very specific instructions for our 4 kitties when we leave out of town and they are always very exceptionally met. It’s not easy to leave your babies alone for an extended stay, but this guy has GOT IT! So much so, that when we first come home, the cats are disappointed it’s not Tonie. Thank you Antonie, you are the best of the best.

Antonie is an exceptional cat sitter! He is very passionate about cats and this shows in all the things he does for us. He is reassuring, attentive, follows directions well and takes such good care of our boys! He even looked after our leopard gecko while we were away. We highly recommend Antonie! We have worked with him before and we will continue to hire him for future needs! He communicates well, takes the best photos/videos and helps us feel comfortable while we are away. We trust him and so do our pets. He administered medications to one of our cats again without issues as well. We are forever grateful to have found an awesome and reliable cat sitter!

We were pretty anxious leaving our babies for a week, but we felt immediately at ease after we received our first update from Antonie. He took care of our lil’ ones with lots of affection, respect for their boundaries, and attention to their needs. And he sent videos and pictures daily which provided so much comfort during our time away. We feel comfortable and confident leaving our cats in Antonie’s care to enjoy some weekend trips, in the near future!

Antonie was GREAT with our cat Howard, who doesn't like strangers. He sat by Howard, and offered treats and play. Antonie was pleased to make a bit more progress was made by the end of our trip, and we came home to a much less stressed cat than when we usually go away. Atonie communicated quickly, was flexible with pre visit, and key pick up and drop off. At our pre visit, he took many notes, to be informed of what Howard needed, as well as how to check things around the house. He fosters many cats, and also volunteers at a local shelter, so we felt more than comfortable leaving Howard in his care. We definitely plan to use Antonie again, and highly recommend him!

Antonie is an amazing cat sitter. I have two quirky senior Bengals with completely different personalities, and he invested the time and care to understand both of them. They don't like some people, but they loved Antonie. He handled their medication needs really well, and his updates and photos eased my worries about being away. Highly recommend!

Antoine was great to work with- extremely timely getting back to me, took excellent care of my two cats with daily updates.

Trustworthy and dependable! Would highly recommend!

Through many trips now, I've been thoroughly convinced that Antonie is the best kitty sitter anyone could ask for. He has befriended both of my cats in ways that people who seem them far more frequently have not been able to. They both love him and seem so at ease even after longer times away. Look no further!

I'm very anxious when leaving the cats alone while we're away, but Antonie does an outstanding job at making me feel at ease and that they're in good hands. If you're looking for a true "cat person" to watch your cats, look no further! :)

Antonie took such good care of my precious Layla! And he did a fantastic job keeping me up to date on how she was doing. I am so glad he could take me on as a client.
Response from Antonie

Antonie really is the best kitty sitter I've had! My two cats no longer seem so stressed out when I return home from trips, and I'm pretty sure one of my cats is actually a little disappointed when he stops showing up twice a day to give her the royal treatment of pets and playtime. Antonie also was very reassuring and supportive when my trip return date kept changing and made sure the kitties were taken care of. Look no further!

This is our second time having Antonie watch our kitties and he continues to amaze us with his level of care, updates, and communication while we're away! Antonie checked in when the instructions I left weren't entirely clear regarding one of our cats medications, which we thoroughly appreciated! He also sends daily updates and went above and beyond for our cats and even checked on our chickens and grabbed our mail. Highly recommend Antonie and plan to continue to use him for our cat sitting needs!!

Antonie is great with our cat Howard, who is NOT a people person. He is patient, continues to engage Howard with toys and play. Antonie is quick to respond, and goes above and beyond to accommodate. He is very knowledgeable about cats, and pays close attention to any change in behavior or eating. We highly recommend him!

After a tough boarding experience, we were looking for a cat sitter and quickly came across Antonie; we immediately felt he would be a fantastic fit. Antonie met us at our place before the trip, and our cat, Mookie, immediately took to him. Antonie shared his passion for cats, discussing his years of expertise, and we were immediately impressed by his extensive range of knowledge and experience. We felt such peace knowing that Mookie would be in the hands of someone so professional, kind, and knowledgeable. We were gone for nearly two weeks, and Antonie went above and beyond to ensure that we knew our boy was cared for with daily updates, pictures, and videos. We were not concerned for one second if Mookie was being cared for, and when we returned, he was perfectly healthy and happy, and we were thrilled. If you are thinking of working with Antonie - GO FOR IT. It is truly one of the best decisions we've ever made, and we wouldn't think of ever leaving Mookie in someone else's care again. We cannot thank Antonie enough. We (especially Mookie) hope to work with him again soon. - McKenzie, Micah, and Mr. Mookie Roo

Antonie was fabulous with my cat, Sedona. She was well-cared for and I loved the pix he posted of her everyday while I was gone. It made missing her much easier.

Antonie is terrific with our cat. Howard is not the friendliest with strangers, but Antonie's patience, and experience with cats, has had a great positive effect. He is very attuned to Howard's normal habits, and alters the visit as needed. We receive several photos of Howard after each visit, with updates on his mood, food intake, etc. Antonie is quick to respond, and has been flexible for us when needed. We highly recommend him, and cannot imagine anyone else caring for Howard when we're away!

Antonie is our go to sitter!! :) He has helped us out multiple times now and doesn’t disappoint. He really goes above and beyond to ensure our pets are well taken care of while we are away. He follows directions, communicates effectively, administers medications and takes great pictures/videos. He stayed during a snow storm and was able to arrive early and stay longer to help our cat who needs special attention. We are so very grateful to have found an awesome cat sitter who really cares about providing the best for our babies. We trust him and so do our cats. We strongly recommend Antonie as your sitter….your cats will thank you too!! :)

The Meowtel experience was excellent; easy and information-filled. I didn't think I would really need cat updates but they made day!!!

Antonie is an absolutely excellent catsitter. I cannot say enough to document his professionalism, cat care skills, and great ability to connect w your cat. I'd recommend Antonie bc he puts your pet first- he is timely, communicative with photos/messages, and very thoughtful in how he approaches and appreciates cats. I'm so grateful we could book Antonie over the holidays, and I'd recommend him to any feline friend!

Antonie is wonderful! From the moment he visited, he was very professional and friendly. Antonie took notes as we discussed our cats and their needs, to include daily medication administration. He let our cats come to him and was very knowledgeable about cats in general. Antonie kept us well informed with pictures and updates throughout our trip, and made sure to double check on a couple things around our house. We are so happy we found Antonie and look forward to working with him in the future since no other cat sitter has ever taken such good care of our kitties!
Bianca

Antonie is a great cat sitter and we highly recommend him! His passion for cats really shines through the work that he does. We have a cat with special medication needs and Antonie was willing to take on the challenge. He is a quick learner, great communicator, and is very accommodating. We trusted him with our cat and have no doubts he will provide exceptional service and care to other cats. He will also take great photos and videos of your cat. We will definitely hire him again for future sitter needs :)
