I'm Antonie | Cat Sitting in Catonsville, MD

I am currently an online streamer with a passion for animals, especially cats. I have grown up with animals all my life, but knew cats were my passion when I met my now wife’s cat 17 years ago. We have since gotten married and have had an average of 4 cats living with us at any one time. Our current cats are all seniors, ages 10-16; two of them we’ve had since they were about 8 weeks old. I started volunteering at BARCS in June of 2021 socializing cats. I quickly made my way up to a level 3 behavior cat socializer and was their trainer for all new cat socializers. I also foster behavioral/under-socialized kittens from time-to-time when needed. I volunteered at Barcs untill February 2023. I switched to Baltimore County Animal Shelter, where go I twice a week and clean/socialize the kitties. ...

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

I've been a cat sitter since July 2022, since then I have done over 100 sits with several repeat clients. My experience with cats is about 16 years with the cats that came with my marriage, my wife had 2 cats. My main cat experience is from working at the shelters where I have been volunteering since June 2021 and worked with every type of cat from the friendly ones to the ones I'm more attracted to the shy, fearful and not so friendly cats. At the moment I'm in the process of becoming a certified cat trainer and eventually want to become a certified cat behaviorist.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

THE CATS, getting to know them and getting to know their quirks what do they love, how can I make their time without their family a good time.

I can't say enough good things! Antonie was our saving grace for a last minute trip and he made it the most relaxed trip we've ever taken. He was amazing with our boys, an excellent communicator, and made us feel very secure knowing our boys were loved and safe while we were away. We are so thankful for him and would love to have him back the next time we travel.

Antonie is always a great caretaker for our two cats and we love seeing all the photos he sends. We always have peace of mind when we know he’s with them.

Antonie really is the best kitty sitter I've had! My two cats no longer seem so stressed out when I return home from trips, and I'm pretty sure one of my cats is actually a little disappointed when he stops showing up twice a day to give her the royal treatment of pets and playtime. Antonie also was very reassuring and supportive when my trip return date kept changing and made sure the kitties were taken care of. Look no further!

Antonie went above and beyond for my two kitties. He was patient so much that they came out to see him on his first visit. I received pictures, videos and constant updates. He followed my crazy thorough directions exactly as I asked and even went above and beyond to bring my mail and packages inside. My vacation was stressless because of Antonie. He’ll always be my cat sitter from here on out. HIGHLY recommended.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
