Cat Sitting in Rockville, MD

Hi- I've had and loved cats my whole life. I am currently a cat mom of two and a foster for a local feline-only rescue. I'm also a small business owner with a flexible schedule and plenty of extra love to give.

Hi- I've had and loved cats my whole life. I am currently a cat mom of two and a foster for a local feline-only rescue. I'm also a small business owner with a flexible schedule and plenty of extra love to give.

I've cared for nursing mothers and kittens, adventurous adolescents, sassy and playful adults, and loveable seniors. I've managed chronic conditions like asthma, IBD, and urinary tract issues, and I'm comfortable giving your cats medications as well as lots of love.

I know how anxious I am when I'm away from my kitties, so I understand the importance of having a pet sitter that you can rely on- one you can trust in your home and who will provide attention, affection, food, playtime, and superior care to your beloved pets.

Daily visits are required. Certain areas have a 45 min visit minimum due to distance and driving time.


* At this time, for new clients, I can only accept reservations for after Labor Day.

Learn More About Renee

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love to meet other people's cats, engage with them, and get to know their unique personalities, while providing their owners with peace of mind when they are away from home.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite reservations are ones where I get to spend more time interacting with your cat(s). If your cat(s) is/are at all friendly or social, I strongly suggest 45 or 60 minute visits. 20 minutes doesn't leave much time to do more than just the basics. I will always clean food and water bowls, feed your cat(s) per your instructions, provide fresh water, scoop the litter box, and clean up any kitty messes. But, I really love to snuggle, play, and interact with your kitties. They love it too! Your cats miss you when you aren't there and they can get lonely. Part of what good cat sitters do is provide them attention, engagement, companionship, and affection until you return home.

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

Find a cat sitter who doesn't look at caring for cats as just a job or a way to earn extra money. Look for someone willing to take the time to get to know your cat(s), understand their needs, and make an effort to connect with them.

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

I do a meet and greet with any new cat and parent. I want the cat to get to know me and I want the cat's parent to be comfortable with me in their home and have the opportunity to ask any questions. I will confirm all necessary details including frequency and quantities for feeding, favorite toys, known hiding spots, medications, and any house rules.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I am available for most holidays. A holiday surcharge may apply, depending on the holiday chosen and my availability.

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

I believe in patience and letting the cat take the lead with any interaction. I also think it helps to have a naturally quiet, calming presence.

Renee did great, despite my cat unexpectedly biting her. I was so stressed, since she'd never done that before, and I felt awful, but Renee was so reassuring and still made sure my cat got her medications. She went truly above and beyond.

Renee is warm, kind, and compassionate. Our cat suffers from anxiety so it was important for us to find someone he was comfortable with. When she came to the meet and greet, our cat wket right up.to her as if they had known each other for years. That made us extremely happy. Our cat receives medication daily to manage his anxiety. Renee delivered them with ease. While we were away, she sent us multiple videos and pictures, which made us smile. It was a comfort to know our cat was being so well cared for. I highy recommend Renee as a sitter. I know we will be repeat customers. P.S. 🚨Beware; she got our cat hooked on Cat TV and we have lost total control of our television. 🤣

Renee was great! Watched our two fur babies for two weeks. Our cats really adored her, especially play time and couch sits. She also took one of our cats to the vet for us while we were in Peru (one of our cats got sick the first day we left!). She did a great job helping our kitty get better. She also sent us lots of pics, which we really appreciated

Once again, Renee did an excellent job caring for our cat. It seems that the kitty (Lily) recognized her right away and was glad to welcome her back. Each day I received a written report as well as photos/videos to document the visits. Renee did all the basic things (food, water, litter) as planned and also played with Lily at some length. The cat was in great shape when we returned and clearly had had a good time with her daily visitor. Huge thanks to Renee for a job well done.

Renee did an amazing job! Our cat needs medicine daily, and was difficult about it, but Renee was dedicated, so patient, and so positive with him, she really took great care of him. She was really communicative and more than reliable. I’d recommended her to anyone.

We’re so grateful to have found Renée! She cared for our two cats for nine days and treated them like her own — feeding, cleaning, playing, and cuddling with them every night. She sent us daily videos that showed how comfortable and happy they were around her (hearing them purr in her lap said it all!). Renée is warm, responsible, and completely trustworthy in our home. We came back to two very content cats and a well tended home! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly loving sitter

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!
