Cat Sitting in Columbia, MD

Greetings, cat owner! I'm sure you're anxious about leaving your cat(s), let alone with a stranger. Rest assured, your baby (or babies) will be in good care, as I am a former veterinary technician who is Fear-Free certified and AAFP Cat-Friendly certified, and I am very experienced in gentle and cooperative care. I would be more than happy teach you positive medicating techniques, just ask me!

I've worked in a 24/7 ER vet hospital, I've raised litters and litters of neonatal kittens, and I worked as a vet tech and surgery tech at a feline-only specialty practice for several years...

I've worked in a 24/7 ER vet hospital, I've raised litters and litters of neonatal kittens, and I worked as a vet tech and surgery tech at a feline-only specialty practice for several years. I have a TON of experience caring for seniors as well as other high-needs patients. I am very comfortable medicating cats including giving injections and subcutaneous fluids. I also know how to handle a variety of ailments or emergencies should one arise while you're away.

The Feline hospital where I used to work also emphasized the importance of lifestyle and enrichment as being part of a more complete picture of a cat's health and well-being. My visits with your cat(s) will not just be food, water, and meds, but enrichment, too, be it play or affection.

I am always happy to share my knowledge with owners. In fact it would be my pleasure, as I am very passionate about cats, so please feel welcome to ask any time!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

At the cat vet i used to work at, we had 2 clinic cats, Davis and Parker. When Parker got old and his medical needs increased, he and Davis retired and went to live with the owner of the practice full time, and I was their pet sitter. I liked to think of sitting for them as visiting my old co-workers. Parker only loved food, but Davis was my buddy, and he'd ask for uppies and chill on my shoulder like old times.

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

Oh my, so many things. If I'm hiring a sitter, then my bare minimum for my peace of mind, I need to trust the sitter can recognize early if my cat is not eating enough and inform me, they are VERY cautious with the door (my cat is a door-dasher), and that if ANYTHING happens or seems unusual or if the sitter is unsure about something, I have to be able to trust that they would contact me and keep me informed whether or not they know how to handle the situation themself.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, my schedule aligns with most school holidays and breaks. The only holiday that *might* become an obligatory family visit is Christmas day since my birthday is the day after, and my brother's birthday is the following week, but I keep my visits short, so I'll still have availability.

Lee did a wonderful job with my cats. We have some complicated feeding and medicine routines and she handled them perfectly. She communicated very well, and sent lots of pictures!

This was our first time relying on the services of a pet sitter and Lee turned out to be responsible, respectful, and attentive in every way we needed. She was diligent about noting everything we mentioned about our cats and followed the care instructions precisely and punctually. After having Lee pet sit for us, I would say you couldn't find a better person to care for your cats. Thank you, Lee!

This was our first pet sitting reservation with Lee with our two cats. One cat gets meds so it was a definite plus that Lee had experience with giving meds. Lee’s communications were regular and showed that both cats were quite comfortable around her, even the shy one! I would definitely recommend Lee and plan on using her again.

Not only is Lee amazing with my cat, but she is reliable and trustworthy. As an added bonus, she always sends the best photos of my cat while I’m away. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a new pet-sitter.

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.

Columbia 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!
