I’m Sam and I have a ferocious little Russian Blue named Nadia. She was a timid little girl when we got her from the shelter, and we’ve worked diligently to gain her trust. As your cat sitter, I’ll be a patient and loving companion for your cat while you are away. I love taking pictures of my cat and you can expect many pictures and videos of your fur baby while you are away! I’ll spend an abundant amount of time playing with your cat (of course, with their permission, since they rule the house!) and make sure they are safe and sound. Rest assured, your fur baby is safe in my care!

Learn More About Samantha

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, Nadia is a Russian Blue. I also have a pet rabbit, Colby, who basically thinks he is a cat.

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

I am a very detail oriented person, and safety and security are my top priority. I will ensure I get eyes on your cat each visit (even if they’re hiding, I will look for them!) and make sure all doors are locked before exiting the house.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Patience is key with timid and anxious cats. Giving them space to get to know you on their terms and using a gentle voice goes a long way.

Sam was really great over the holiday. We have two cats, one with with asthma and Sam was very patient with him and was able to administer his medication successfully. She checked that both cats were doing well.

Samantha was awesome with our two cats! We don’t travel often, so I was extra nervous, but Samantha’s daily updates really helped me relax. One of our cats in particular is very anxious around new people, but she came out of her shell right away! Thank you Samantha!

Samantha was outstanding. We have an older cat that is very skittish and particular and she went out of her way to work with him.

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.

Gaithersburg 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 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 Meet & Greet!
