Learn More About Xin
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
Iāve done cat house-sitting and have done a ton of drop-in cat care for clients and my friends. I also have volunteered at a local rescue to care for their satellite adoption location cats.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I have a camera set up at all times for when I am away and use the app Alfred to track how my pets are doing, which you may access as well. I believe in open communication and constant vigilance when it comes to pet care. I will send as many photos and videos as you require (within reason) and every request will be accommodated for to the best of my ability. All cats will be indoors only while I am caring for them, no exceptions.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
You actually donāt handle them. You mind their boundaries and space and allow them to accept you. I do have a way of working my magic with the most shy of babies but I also understand I will not be all their cups of tea!

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.
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!
