Cat Sitting in Germantown, MD

Hi!

I’m a dedicated cat lover who understands that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort zone. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I take the time to get to know them and care for them in a way that makes them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.

I have years of experience caring for cats and am also a cat owner myself, so I’m very familiar with their unique behaviors, preferences, and needs... Hi!

I’m a dedicated cat lover who understands that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort zone. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I take the time to get to know them and care for them in a way that makes them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.

I have years of experience caring for cats and am also a cat owner myself, so I’m very familiar with their unique behaviors, preferences, and needs. I know that cats thrive on routine, so I aim to keep their daily schedule as consistent as possible — from feeding and litter box cleaning to playtime and quiet companionship. I’m attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite and will always keep you informed so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I know that leaving your cat with someone new can feel stressful. Because of that, I prioritize communication and trust. I provide updates and photos after each visit so you can see how your cat is doing and feel connected while you’re away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I previously cared for a 5-year-old tabby cat who belonged to my roommate, and I had to say goodbye when he moved to another city. Today, I have a one-year-old tabby cat of my own named Nora!

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

I recommend ensuring that the scheduled cat-sitting time is accurate. As a cat parent myself, I’ve had experiences in the past where I hired a sitter for one hour per day for a week, but on some days the full hour wasn’t spent with my cat. Because of that experience, I make it a point to send a photo showing my arrival and departure times so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving the full time and care you requested.

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

I’m very familiar with timid or anxious cats because my own cat is one of them. I approach them with patience and respect for their space. When I enter the home, I move slowly and avoid loud noises or sudden movements so I don’t startle them. I also give them time to observe me and let them come to me on their own terms, allowing them to smell me and get comfortable at their own pace. I never force interaction. Some cats may prefer to stay hidden at first, and that’s completely okay. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where they can gradually feel secure. Over time, many shy cats become more curious and relaxed once they realize I’m not a threat.

Daeun was wonderful with our cats. She stuck to their evening feeding and treats time consistently. She followed our cat's medication schedule exactly, texted a short update each evening along with videos, and our cats were calm rather than unsettled when we got home. We would book her again without hesitation.

This was my first time hiring a cat sitter, and Daeun gives me very good impression. She is very caring toward cats. My Bella is especially timid, particularly around strangers. She usually hides and doesn’t approach anyone except me. But after just 1–2 days, Bella began to trust Daeun very much. Daeun is very responsible—she fed Bella on time every day and cleaned the litter box. She also spent extra time playing with Bella. She sent daily updates with videos and photos. Bella had a great time with her. I will definitely ask Daeun to take care of Bella again in the future.

Daeun was absolutely amazing with my girls. She was very responsive, on time, and paid attention to little details. She really put me at ease knowing my fur children were well taken care of and I didn’t have to worry. She is absolutely amazing.

Daeun was an amazing cat sitter! She was super attentive, timely, and communicative. Our two kitties had so much fun with her. She went above and beyond for them, I would love to have her cat sit anytime!

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!
