Learn More About Lynnette

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been a cat owner and lover all my life, but I have been professionally pet sitting since December 2018 and haven’t looked back since.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Spending times with cats and learning their individual personalities and quirks. It’s amazing how similar yet different cats are all over the world.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I have a lot, but a couple of my favorites are 2 clients that also foster and have had kittens. So getting to see all the kittens and spend some time with them is always fun! I also have 2 clients whose cats are very shy and don’t open up to other people, but they both love me. They even remember me when I haven’t seen them for months.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes 3! Joaquin (named after Joaquin Phoenix), Ricky and Lucy (named after the characters from I Love Lucy!) Ricky and Lucy are litter mates and Joaquin is the boss!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Do your due diligence and go with your gut. I also think a shorter booking to see how the sitter works with you and your cats can be a good idea if you are worried or they need special care.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I love to come meet you and your cats before booking. I also love notes, but take them myself at the meet & greet. I also love to send detailed notes and lots of photos at my visits!

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

First at the door I always pay attention when I open it with at least one hand free to ensure no cats escape. Then just following all instructions, watching for any changes and communicating everything!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Some of them yes. My family is in Colorado so I do go there a couple times a year to see them, sometimes over the Christmas or Thanksgiving holiday’s. Most of the smaller holiday’s I am available.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The cat dancer is probably my overall favorite, I have never met a cat that wasn’t at least a little interested in it, and it’s interactive.

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

Give them their space and let them come to me, I’ll sit on the floor and try to feed them food or treats with my hand when they do start to come out.

Lynette did an amazing job with our three cats while on vacation. She is great at administering medications for cats with special needs including an inhaler. Lynette was very flexible with scheduling and adapting to last minute medical needs for our senior kitty. We loved getting thorough updates for every visit along with pictures of the fur babies. Highly recommend!

Our cats warmed up to Lynette right away, including our shy boy. She went above and beyond in caring for our cats. From the photos, it looked like our cats had a great time while we were away!

Lynnette was exceptional. She was extremely communicative and sent a ton of photos every visit which I really appreciated. She told me exactly what she did every day and made sure I was fully updated on how my cats were doing. I am grateful to have found Lynnette, she allows me to have peace of mind when having to leave my babies.

Lynnette was the perfect cat sitter. She took the time to understand our needs, gave meaningful attention to cat while we were gone, took the best pictures and provided detailed daily updates. I’ll definitely recommend her to others.

Frequently Asked Questions

Germantown 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.
