I'm Ivey | Cat Sitting in Germantown, MD

Hello! My name is Ivey, and I've worked with cats my whole life. I'm currently a cat mom to 2 kitties: Cosmo, my 15 year old Russian Blue, and Calypso, my 6 year old Diluted Tortie! I met both Cosmo and Calypso at my local animal shelter, which I've volunteered at for the past 2 years. Prior to that, I've volunteered at animal shelters in every city that I've lived in. Every cat is different in its needs, personality, and behavior. Through my time in volunteering in multiple shelters and being a momma to multiple cats, I've picked up a few tips and tricks! I've worked with fearful, food-motivated, energetic, mischievous, aggressive, sleepy, polite, brainless, and talkative kitties. I am confident in administering oral medication, giving eye drops, handling picky eaters, wrapping cat burritos, and even breaking up cat fights. There's not much I haven't seen! My primary occupation is in Talent Acquisition, so I spend my time improving people's experiences, learning abo...

Learn More About Ivey

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have 2 kitties: Cosmo, my 15 year old Russian blue, and Calypso, my 6 year old Diluted Tortie. I got both from my local animal shelter, where I love to volunteer!

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

Know what degree of flexibility you're comfortable with. If you want your sitter to follow instructions to a T, don't be afraid to say that! If you're not too picky, be sure to state what's most important to you.

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

I give anxious kitties their space, so they don't feel like I pose a threat. I'm really observant on their behavior, since that's one of the only ways to pick up on how a cat is feeling. I make a mental note of their ears, whiskers, eyes, stance, and tail (if they have one!). If I do need to move closer to a scared kitty, I move slowly, talk in a calming tone, and try to give slow blinkies as well.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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.
