Hi, I’m Sam! I’m an experienced animal care professional with previous background as a veterinary technician and a big soft spot for cats of every personality, from social little shadows to shy kitties who prefer to admire me from across the room.

I know that cats like things done their way, so I will follow your cat’s usual routine and give them plenty of patience, attention, and space when needed. Visits can include meals, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddles, and of course, plenty of photos for you!

I am also comfortable caring for cats with more detailed medical needs. My veterinary experience helps me notice subtle changes in appetite, behavior, comfort, or energy.

Whether your cat wants nonstop playtime, quiet company, or someone to respectfully serve dinner and leave, I am happy to follow their rules. I will care for your cat and home as if they were my own, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving and dependable hands.

Learn More About Samantha

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I genuinely love cats, so getting to interact with cats other than my own is always fun and rewarding. Every cat has such a unique personality, whether they are playful, cuddly, shy, curious, or completely independent. I enjoy getting to know what makes each cat comfortable, learning their little quirks, and building trust with them at their own pace.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have 4 seniors cats: Pooja, Hiro, Ollie, and Joey. They each have different personalities, routines, and care needs, so I understand how important it is to provide patient, individualized care for every kitty.

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

As a veterinary technician, I was trained to handle timid or anxious cats with patience, care, and a fear-free approach. I move slowly, speak calmly, avoid forcing interaction, and allow each cat to approach me when they feel comfortable. I pay close attention to their body language and respect their boundaries while still making sure their basic needs are met. My goal is to reduce stress, build trust, and help every cat feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

I feel so safe when Samantha watches my cats. My one cat takes medication twice a day so I am always nervous when I have to go away that the person watching them will not be able to give her the medication she needs with no issues. Samantha has never had a problem and I can rely on her for punctuality and great general care as well.

Samantha delivered excellent care while I was away. I've got two older cats with separate diets and medication, and she followed all steps perfectly. Samantha was efficient with communication, readily available for questions, and always provided the necessary updates. My cats are asking when I'm going away again so they can see her.

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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
