I'm Hana
Cat Sitting in Ellicott City, MD
I’m an aspiring vet with lots of cat care experience. I grew up with a cat who I was the primary care taker for starting from 8 years old. Now at 23, I live with three rescues of my own whom I love dearly. I have volunteered in animal shelters and take great care when it comes to handling cats. I’ve also worked with, and have had, cats of all different personalities and temperaments. I’ve also watched over cats for my friends extensively, including ne... Hi! My name is Hana!
I’m an aspiring vet with lots of cat care experience. I grew up with a cat who I was the primary care taker for starting from 8 years old. Now at 23, I live with three rescues of my own whom I love dearly. I have volunteered in animal shelters and take great care when it comes to handling cats. I’ve also worked with, and have had, cats of all different personalities and temperaments. I’ve also watched over cats for my friends extensively, including newborn kittens and senior kitties. When conducting cat visits I like to take some time to let the cat adjust to me being there and give them some attention. I want to make sure they get adequate pets and play time, as well as being fed. I typically clean litter boxes before leaving, and give them a treat and say goodbye before my exit.
What sets me apart from other cat sitters is my extensive cat handling experience, and the gentleness to which I approach caring for them.
Learn More About Hana
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 3! Two of them were adopted as a bonded pair named Luna and Lusa. They’re both black cats where Lusa is short haired and very tiny, and Luna is a long haired diva. My third cat is a bit younger and I’ve known him since his infancy when my friend’s rescued cat gave birth. He’s a big tall orange boy. His name is Persimmon but we’ve just shortened it to Percy over time.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Cats are a lot like babies in that you need to sort of cat proof things in your home. It’s really important to ensure no strings, hair ties, cleaning supplies, or other harmful things are left out in the open or within reach of the cat. I also make sure I actually see the cat with my own eyes and do not let them into any rooms with closed doors and am very cautious about closing them. I had a very horrible pet sitter in the past who left one of my babies locked in a room for a few days and she never noticed. That experience was traumatizing and caused a lot of damage to my home as well. Since being put in that position, it took me a while to trust any sitters, so it has made me as a sitter one who is incredibly cautious and attentive.
What is your favorite cat toy?
The cat dancer! It’s a very affordable toy and every cat I’ve used it with has been obsessed. It even got my oldest cat playing like a kitten again.

Hana was my first sitter after my cat was diagnosed with epilepsy, so I was nervous to leave but she did a wonderful job administering oral medication and she was very communicative. She even offered to bring over her own cat’s laser pointer when she noticed mine was out of batteries.

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.
Ellicott City 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!
