Learn More About Aj

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

I have experience with cat sitting for around 2 years. My friends neighbor owned one and I was in charge for feeding him, changing his litter, and keeping him company while he was on vacation.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy hanging out and playing with the cats. My cats themselves are extremely playfully and they love attention. Giving them the attention they desire is huge in pet bonding

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have 2 cats, Belle and Annie. They were born ferel outside of our church in 2015. Belle herself has to take anxiety medication every day to make sure she goes in the litter box without accidents

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

Go with your gut. If something is telling you from the description of what they offer that you need help in that situation, feel free to ask for clarity. If not, then look at alternatives.

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

I usually will introduce myself to the parent to let them know where I stand, what my rates are, who I've worked with in the past, and any questions they need. Then I'll grab a treat or their favorite toy and warm up to the cats themselves.

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

I always make sure the doors are locked when leaving and entering the place, I also ask about any light fixtures or ceiling fans they keep on for security reasons, and If they have cameras I can monitor those if needed as well.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toys are the mice and balls. My cats love me throwing them and they run after them. Sometimes they'll bring it back, or they'll have me retrieve it

AJ did a fantastic job! He was timely and attentive when he came to meet us and our kitty. He kept her litter box very clean, brought up our mail and watered our plants during that horribly hot spell. He checked in with us bout concerns with Nala going out in the heat and keeping the temp in the house comfortable for her. She even sat on his lap! Will definitely ask for AJ again!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Ellicott City cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
