Cat Sitting in Sykesville, MD

Thank you for considering my pet service for your cat’s care! I understand finding pet care for holidays or other travel can be daunting. I aim to eliminate any stress in this department by providing excellent communication and pet care. I have experience with many different types of cat personalities and needs. I strive to make animals feel as comfortable as possible by working with owners to replicate their regular routines.

I have had an interest in and love for animals from an early age. Unfortunately we did not have cats growing up do to family members’ allergies. I always loved visiting friends and relatives with cats. I began cat sitting several years ago and adopted my cat, Nala, in 2023... Thank you for considering my pet service for your cat’s care!

I have had an interest in and love for animals from an early age. Unfortunately we did not have cats growing up do to family members’ allergies. I always loved visiting friends and relatives with cats. I began cat sitting several years ago and adopted my cat, Nala, in 2023.

I have experience with many different cat personality profiles and needs, including diabetic cats requiring insulin, and cats with other medical conditions requiring oral medication. My cat is UTD on vaccines, FIV/ FeLV negative and indoor only.

I love cats for their unique personalities. Outgoing cats will enjoy lots of playtime and pets from me. While with shyer clients I move quietly and slowly to avoid scaring them; I keep an album of “Calming Music for Anxious Cats” downloaded on my phone which seems to help more fearful cats warm up to me. I update my clients regularly with pictures, videos and written descriptions of their pets’ status.

I have been pet sitting for many years and teach horseback riding on the side. I make my own sitting and teaching schedules which allows me to replicate pets’ regular schedules closely. I prefer to stay close to Sykesville and West Friendship Maryland

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to caring for your cat(s)!

Ingrid responded to our inquiry quickly. She came for a meet and greet. She was cat friendly and interested in learning about our feline family of 3. She did not shy away from giving basic medications. She contacted us to check in prior to the day of service.

This was our second time having Ing come and take care of our cats, and I can guarantee it won't be the last! The cats were excited to see Ing, and even our cautious one took significantly less time to warm up the this time. Ing was able to admister the medication perfectly for our senior cat, and I felt confident leaving knowing she was in good hands.

Ing was amazing! We have an older cat who craves attention and another cat who is reluctant around new people. Ing was a cat whisperer! By the end of the week, both cats were comfortable! We will definitely be reaching out again for any future needs.

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.

Sykesville 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!
