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.

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...
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.

* Because of the recent spike in fuel prices, I have temporarily increased my rates to compensate for the additional cost getting to and from your home.

* I'm currently booking dates into September. If you are an existing client and have August dates that need coverage, I would suggest booking your reservation as soon as possible.

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 your cats' food and water bowls, feed them, provide fresh water, scoop the litter box, and clean up any kitty messes. But, I really love to play and interact with your kitties- and 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) and understand their needs.

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 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

We've only had Ana (our young, moody teenage girl) for a few months and are just now feeling very bonded. We had to go out of town for a few days to visit elderly family and were quite nervous about leaving her. Ana is so needful of people but is also territorial and frightened of new people so we were concerned that she'd be too anxious to warm up to a cat sitter. Renee is such a pro. Ana hissed when Renee first arrived for a get-to-know visit, but by the end, Ana was taking food from her! By the end of our time away, Ana was eagerly waiting by the door for her and happily receiving scritches. Ana is low maintenance for meds and such, so I can't comment on that, but I can tell you that Renee sent multiple vids/photos on every visit (which we totally ate up while we were gone). She played with Ana, using Ana's existing toys and teaching her new games. She fed Ana along the exact schedule that we'd set up, and gave her treats. Litter box was impeccable when we returned and we saw no evidence of litter accidents or other cat mishaps (so either Ana was remarkably good about this, or the mishaps were tidied away). We only hope that Renee doesn't get too popular so that we can hire her again this summer!

Renee is an absolute Godsend. My two terribly behaved and equally shy cats are always in amazing hands when Renee visits. This past visit Renee even fixed our automated cat feeder for me without me even asking. Renee is above and beyond and super fun to have come over. These shy cats love her.

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 was wonderful! She was patient with our old grumpy man but made sure he received all of his medication and all of the love while we were gone! We will definitely be using her services again!

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 $27.00. 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!
