Learn More About Sonika

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to form a connection with each cat and earning their trust. Every cat has their own personality and way of showing affection, and I love discovering what makes them feel safe and happy. It’s so rewarding when a shy cat starts to warm up, or when a playful one greets me like an old friend. I also enjoy keeping their routines consistent and seeing how relaxed and content they are while their family is away. Knowing I can make them feel secure brings me so much joy.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties, 5 Y/o void Shadow and 1 y/o tabby Cleo. They’re the absolute love of my life and have opposing personalities. Shadow is incredibly confident and loves being around people whereas Cleo is a lot more quiet and anxious. Their common ground is food so I make sure to use their favorite treats to reward play time.

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

When I first got Cleo, she was incredibly anxious and is still very timid. I make sure that I give her a lot of space and treats (she loves kibble). I also have the apartment surrounded with her favorite toys and I make sure that she is feeling confident and happy by being well fed and playing around.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gaithersburg 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.
