I'm Shen-Huan
Cat Sitting in Germantown, MD
I have developed a deep understanding of cat behavior, health, and environmental needs from litter box usage, food/water consumption and daily activities. I respect their space and let them decide whether they want to and how quickly to know me.
My e... I have owned two cats, Drew and Charlie, for 10 years and taken care of my friends' animals (10+) for many years while they are away. Sadly, Drew crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of 13.
I have developed a deep understanding of cat behavior, health, and environmental needs from litter box usage, food/water consumption and daily activities. I respect their space and let them decide whether they want to and how quickly to know me.
My expertise goes beyond basic feeding; I specialize in reading subtle feline body language to ensure every cat feels safe.
I'm also experienced with administration of oral and topical medicines.
**I also provide cat boarding service in a private room in my house using another pet sitting platform. If you are interested in boarding your cat, please feel free to shoot me a message to discuss your needs and I will direct you to the other app :)
Learn More About Shen-Huan
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two cats in my life, Drew and Charlie. Drew is a female tortie, which passed away at the age of 13. Charlie is a senior white male cat, currently 13-yr old.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
The advice I have is understand if the cat sitter will respect your cat’s space and slowly introduce themselves to your cat. You can have a sense from observing their body language, such as letting your cat sniff their fingers at the beginning.
What is your favorite cat toy?
Handmade paper balls. I found my cats lost interests in toys from stores over time as they aged, but handmade toys from papers or cardboards with some creativities are always fun for them.

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.
Germantown cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
