I'm Alli | Cat Sitting in Laurel, MD

*** To my beloved repeat clients: refer a friend my way and get a 10-15% discount on your next reservation with me! See below for details! *** Hello! I'm Alli(she/they) and I have been an animal-lover all of my life. I've pet-sat for friends and family for as long as I can remember, and also volunteered at animal shelters from time to time and worked at a vet's clinic. I had the pleasure of adopting my first cat, lofi, in 2020. Converting to the Cat Mom religion was destiny. I have since adopted another cat, Boba, and continue watching cats for friends and loved ones. I also foster for my local rescue. I hope to meet your furry ones and dote on them as they deserve while you're away! During the day, I work as a Registered Nurse. My foundation in a career in healthcare was built in the Emergency Room - I have extensive experience recognizing signs of distress and giving oral and injection medications. I would be happy to accommodate for your cat's special needs. Additionally, I also work remotely and have a regular schedule through the work-week. I also have a car. This reliable schedule and transportation means availability to come check on your cats is very easy to coordinate. I also pride myself on making every reservation as personable and accommodating as possible - I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and would be happy to mask up during a meet and greet or conduct a virtual video meet and greet should a client have any immunity concerns.

Learn More About Alli

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

For approximately the last 10 years I've been responsible caring for my friends' and family's cats. These are cats with diverse needs - cats requiring eye drops, oral medications and even subcutaneous fluids, kittens with lots of energy and curiosity, meticulous dietary needs and puzzle toy enrichment, or even a simple couch snuggle. I try to send daily pictures of cats to my friends while they are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Absolutely! Lofi, the calico in my pictures, is my very first cat, adopted in December 2020. In a past life I believe she was a lady, because she is very well-mannered and has a singsong-y meow. Lofi was such a good cat I adopted another cat the following year, Boba. She's nearly the polar opposite of lofi - she is a black slug-shaped cat with a taste for mischief. I got lucky and both cats love extensive cuddling, and typically follow me all around the house.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Firstly, thank you to any potential new clients considering me! An added bonus to this job is when new clients express to me how much of a relief it is that they are able to trust me to keep their kitties and home sound and safe while they are away. Every new client starts with a meet and greet, and I make sure to establish and maintain explicitly open communication both ways for any questions or concerns via the client's preferred method of communication. I have had some unique anxieties and concerns expressed to me from understandably anxious cat parents, and am happy to collaborate and offer as much accommodation as I can to maintain peace of mind.

Alli was wonderful!! My kitties are on the grouchy side, but they loved her! She kept us well updated and provided super cute pictures of our girls. Would absolutely use her again and recommend her to others.

Allí made this first time using a sitter so comfortable for us! I felt completely at ease knowing my furry friend would be in great hands. Alli was attentive, reliable, and really went above and beyond to ensure my cat was comfortable and well-cared for. She kept me updated with sweet photos and messages, which helped me feel connected even while I was away. My cat seemed so happy and relaxed when I returned, which is the best testament to the wonderful care provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!

Alli watched our two older cats for a week while we were away. Very attentive, she provided adorable photos each day for us to gush over. We felt at ease the entire trip knowing Alli was taking care of our family😻

Alli did an amazing job taking care of our two cats! I'm genuinely impressed that in her short visits she was able to keep up with giving medication, keeping the litter boxes clean, and even washing the dishes she used. I also really appreciated that she didn't stress out our especially shy cat just to take a photo. I'm hoping to hire Alli again the next time we need a cat sitter.

Alli was amazing with Ellie! Alli sent so many adorable pictures and videos interacting with, playing with, and taking care of Ellie. I could not recommend Alli highly enough as a cat sitter.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Laurel cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
