I'm Anabel
Cat Sitting in Gwynn Oak, MD
I usually have a tiny bottle of catnip on me at all times. I've been an avid cat lover for years, I absolutely love making new cat friends and getting to know their different personalities. I treat every fur baby like I would treat my own fur nieces and nephews.
I'm a very flexible and reliable cat sitter who would truly love to give you peace of mind when you're away from your purr-fect baby. I keep the cat's routine and comfortability as my top priority. I have over 8 years pet experience taking care of friends and coworkers' fur babies... Hiiii I'm Anabel!

I'm a very flexible and reliable cat sitter who would truly love to give you peace of mind when you're away from your purr-fect baby. I keep the cat's routine and comfortability as my top priority. I have over 8 years pet experience taking care of friends and coworkers' fur babies. I pay close attention to their body language and cues in an attempt to anticipate their needs or behaviors.
I currently have an all black shorthair (aka a mini void) who loves to sunbathe by day and zoomie from shadowy places by night. No matter the type of cattitude your fur baby has, I provide personalized, gentle, and attentive care. I love being able to use my opposable thumbs for the greater good of cats.
I am dedicated to being a responsible and respectful cat caregiver who not only makes the parents happy but most importantly appeases the queen and/or king of the space. I like cooking/baking, crafting, and watching anime in my free time.
P.S. please tell your cat I said pspsps🩷

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!
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. I've recently begun to see the compressed catnip + silvervine "lollipops" as a top contender as well. So many good options!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
SPAAAAACE! As well as gentle movements and energy adjustment on my part. I can 1000% empathize with a cat's acclimating period to new humans in their space. As a shy cat owner myself, I usually check to see if food has been eaten, litter used, or if they have a not so invisible hiding place (without disturbing them). I either shuffle through my low stimulation playlist or start making "normal" noise like washing dishes/tv playing. For safety if all else fails, I will check in with their favorite person to see any favorite hiding spots.

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 $26.00. 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!
