Cat Sitting in Gwynn Oak, MD

Hii I’m Anabel! ā‚^. .^ā‚Žā³Š

Happy Black cat season šŸˆā€ā¬›šŸŽƒ! I usually carry a tiny bottle of catnip in my purse at all times. I’m the type of person that babies love, animals come up to, and strangers tell their whole life story. I have over 8 years of pet experience taking care of family, friends, and coworkers’ fur babies. My main priority is keeping your cat SAFE, loved, and well cared for so you can enjoy your trip worry-free! I’m a responsible and down-to-earth cat sitter who genuinely loves giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away from their purrfect babies. I meet your cats where they’re at, whether they’re cuddly, shy, or just want to be admired from a distance. Whatever their vibe, I love being able to use my opposable thumbs for the greater good of cats...

About 5 years ago I officially converted to cat lady religion, I absolutely love making new cat friends and getting to know their different personalities and boundaries. I currently have one cat, my boy is a healthy, happy 4-year-old void who has a million names. He loves watching dogs and being in the sun.

I take virtual classes on Wednesday evenings and cat sit full time, so my schedule is otherwise pretty flexible. I offer complimentary plant watering, bringing in mail/packages, cleaning up kitty mishaps, and sending plenty of photo updates. Just let me know of any special instructions, and I’ve got it covered :) If time permits, I love doing meet and greets before a booking so I can get to know your kitties and their space while their favorite person is still nearby. I’m happy to wear a mask or meet virtually as well.

I’m also comfortable administering medications and have successfully given cats pills as well as topical eye and ear ointments. I’m always open to your advice and willing to learn any tricks that make medication time more comfortable for your kitty!

I like to fill my life with art, plants, crafts, blind boxes, social justice, anime, and cooking/baking.

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

Trust your gut. This is essentially hand picking a friend for your fur baby whether it be the first or fifth time using a sitter. Not everyone can purr on the same frequency and that's okay!

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

I use the skills I learned as a goalie to open the door carefully when entering and lock the door as soon as I'm inside. I make sure nothing was accidentally opened or left out that could cause issue for the cat. I always double check no one is trying to sneak out with me as I leave, then lock up.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Ooh I loove a laser pointer and crinkle ball combo! I like seeing their inner apex predator side come out. But there are many good options!

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

SPAAAAACE! Gentle movements, treats, and energy adjustment on my part. I can 1000% empathize with cats acclimating to new humans in their space. As a shy cat owner myself, I usually check if food has been eaten, litter used, or if they have a not so invisible hiding place (without disturbing them). I don't like seeing scared kitties so they truly set the pace for the visits.

Anabel was wonderful with our cats while we were away! She made sure both cats were fed and took great care of our one cat’s medication. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for while we were away. She was very responsive, respectful of our home, and made sure to give the cats plenty of playtime and attention. Even at our meet and greet, she asked thoughtful questions and made us feel confident they were in good hands. She is kind, professional, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. We would use her services again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!

Anabel was great! Super communicative, kind, and thorough. My kitties ran up to her immediately during the meet & greet and were social with her during visits, despite my older cat becoming less social and weary of strangers with age. She sent me updates, photos, and check in without needing to be promoted and I felt my kitties were very well taken care of in my absence. I will deff book with her again in the future.

We were so fortunate to find Anabel on Meowtel. During her initial visit she was so kind to our family, giving special attention to our son and of course the cats. She completed all the tasks we requested, including watering our plants and bringing in our mail. One of our cats hides from other people, but that didn’t stop Anabel from cajoling her to poke her head out from up inside the box spring of our bed to entice her to take her pill pocket and receive her transdermal medication on her ear. And this was made more difficult because she had to distract the energetic other cat (a kitten) so that he didn’t eat the pill pocket. She sent us photos and updates which my son especially enjoyed. We will definitely request Anabel when we are away in the future!

Anabel is an amazing sitter! She always showed up promptly, took plenty of photos and sent detailed updates. I was confident the whole time I was away that my kitties were in the best of care. Anabel even took my trashcan up the steep driveway and to the curb without me asking! Did she also water my plants?? šŸ˜‚ I don't know but they're damp and happy and healthy as well. Anabel is a Rockstar! 🤘

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.

Gwynn Oak cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
