Shara once again did a fantastic job taking care of our kitties! She came on time every day and not only just cared for them at a basic level, but really spent time with them; playing with them and bonding with them! Our kitties love her, and it is obvious that Shara makes a strong connection with the pets that she cares for. Thanks so much, Shara! Lily and Elise are looking forward to your next visit!!!

This is our second time utilizing Shara and we couldn't be happier with her support and care of our cat. She has enabled us to enjoy our vacation that much more, as we don't have to worry about our furry family member.

Shara was above and beyond for my cats, She is very responsible, She keeps me updated about everything, very communicative, I am receiving photos in every visit that for me is awesome see my babies happy and comfy with her, my female cat Bruninha is very shy and always hiding but with Shara she came out and I saw her very happy and trust her friend Shara. I am so happy and feel relaxed that my babies Bruninha and Tigrao were happy, and very well taking care of. Everything was great when I came home. I highly recommend Shara to taking care of your furry friends, you will have the best sitter and you can relax while she is there for you.. Thank you Shara for your great care and attention. I will for sure book again with you. :) Solange Chaves

Shara was the perfect caretaker for my cat, Iris Serena, who is a very shy cat. She is very patient and her voice put Iris at ease. Usually when strangers come to my apartment, Iris hides deep in the closet. But with Shara, every day, Iris would come to the door of the closet so Shara could take a picture to send me, which reassured me that Iris was fine. And when I got home from a week away, Iris was fine and happy. I intend to have Shara come again to take care of Iris the next time I have to go out of town.

Did very well with my two week reservation. I have an easygoing but playful cat and Shara did well, though sometimes there would be last-minute questions when I could not answer (as I was in a different time zone).

Aaron

Shara took care of our kitties about a month ago, and she provided the same level of excellence during this sitting experience as we had the first time! I think that our kitties were a little more stressed that we left again so soon after our last trip, and this most recent trip was for a little longer. There was an accident that one of the kitties had while we were gone, but that had nothing to do with Shara. Our kitties LOVED seeing her every day!!! The waited for her by the door and she was fantastic with them. She sent us updates during every visit. She is a very caring person who clearly loves pets and is very good with them. We will continue to reach out to Meowtel and Shara for our future pet sitting needs, but we might pay the extra money to have her come to our house two times a day, if she is able. Our cats love her, and we can't thank her enough for spending time with them!!!! A++++

Shara was excellent! We had her take care of our two kitties who have been with us for only about 9 months, and we were very worried about leaving them with a stranger. I work from home, so someone has always been at home with them since we adopted them. Shara came over to meet the cats and they were very much at ease with her! She has an excellent personality for taking care of pets; she is caring, relaxed, very knowledgeable in pet care, patient, and clearly puts the care of her pets first. While we were gone, Shara came to the house every day at about the same time (which was good for establishing a schedule for our kitties). She not only provided the basics (feeding and cleaning the litter box), but she took lots of pictures of our babies, texted to me about how they were doing, sat with them, petted them, and played with them! Shara has excellent communication skills. Our kitties fell in love with her…she was excellent. I have used other pet sitting services in the past for our prior kitty sibling set, and our experience with Shara was the best. I cannot recommend Shara more highly than 10+++ out of 10! We are planning out another trip at the end of July and I really hope that Shara will be able to take care of our cats during that trip. I originally planned on using a different service for this most recent trip and came across Meowtel when the other service (that we have used with great success in the past) did not have availability. I was a little worried about using a new service, as we have used other companies that were an absolute disaster, but Meowtel and Shara exceeded all expectations! Thanks, Shara, for doing such a great job taking care of Elise and Lily (they say “hi!”)! They look forward to seeing you again hopefully at the end of the month and for any future pet sitting needs! If anyone is on the fence about Meowtel, you will not be disappointed in their services, and especially if you are lucky enough to have Shara take care of your pets!

Shara did an amazing job looking after my anxious cat while I was away. My cat, who usually gets nervous around new people, warmed up to Shara. The daily updates with photos and videos were great and really put my mind at ease when I was out of town. I came home to a happy and relaxed kitty, which says a lot about the excellent care she provided. I highly recommend Shara to anyone needing a reliable and caring catsitter. She truly loves animals and go above and beyond to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy.

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 $25.00. 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.
