I'm Tamara | Cat Sitting in District Heights, MD

Hello! My Name is Tamara and I am a lifelong kitty parent with a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and care, developed through years of personal and pet-sitting experience. Currently, I am going on 8 years of servitude (lol) with my pretty Cancerian kitty (born July 8, 2016) Ms. Sayuri the Snow Bengal, and just over 1 year of servitude to our newest addition, little miss Kiku who is my spunky Abyssinian, that comes with all of her Aquarian (born February 19, 2024) energy and antics. As mentioned, I have experience in cat sitting for friends, where I have provided attentive, loving care for my kitty charges, while maintaining routines, as well a...

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Currently, I am a kitty parent of an 8 yeat old Snow Bengal named Sayuri and a 1 year old Abyssinian named Kiku.

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

When entering the home, I am sure to enter slowly and minimize any opportunities for kitty to be able to sneak out if they are known for escape attempts. Before leaving, I make sure kitty is accounted for and not accidentally closed in a closet or cabinet (depending on where food is located). I also make sure all doors are locked and secured. Although I have not had to operate an alarm system for any sitting opportunities, I have personal experience with activating and deactivating an ADT alarm system.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is the feather toy on a string. I love watching cats track a toy and rev themselves up to pounce (the booty wiggle), as well as using the toy to create an opportunity to run for myself and kitty.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

District Heights cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
