Cat Mom Who Treats Yours Like My Own

Cat Sitting in Rockville, MD

Hi, I’m Archana! I’ve been a proud cat mom for 4 years, and caring for cats is something I genuinely love doing. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or longer stay, your kitty will be in safe, experienced hands.

I’m comfortable with a wide range of care needs, and scheduled meal care, so cats with specialised care needs are welcome. I also have experience with young kittens (3 months and up), so I know how to handle the more delicate ones with extra patience and attention.

You’ll never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. I send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy, cozy, and well-loved. I treat every cat I care for the way I’d want mine to be treated.

Learn More About Archana

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a four year old cat named Daisy, who I’ve had since she was a newborn. Raising her from day one taught me so much about what cats need to feel safe, loved, and thriving. Daisy is super social and loves people and exploring. Every cat I care for gets the same love and attention I give her.

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

Leaving your babies with someone new is stressful, and I get it completely. The more you tell me about them, the better I can take care of them. Don’t hold back. Share their feeding schedule, personality quirks, favorite hiding spots, what stresses them out, what makes them happy. There is no such thing as too much information when it comes to your cat. I want to know it all. The more I know, the more at home they’ll feel while you’re away.

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

I let them come to me. I give them the space to figure out that I’m safe, and I let feeding time do a lot of that work naturally. Food is a great trust-builder. I’m patient and I’ll work on their timeline, not mine.

Archana was great with my cat who is normally very shy but she made friends on the first day. Lots of videos and photos and great communication.

Archana was extraordinarily responsive and professional. She took great care of our sweet cat and sent photo and video updates after each visit, alleviating any stress we had about leaving our fur baby home for an extended period of time.

Archana was great with my 2 kittens. She was punctual, played with them, and always sent pictures to let me know how they were doing while we were away.

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.

Rockville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
