I'm Gin
Cat Sitting in Albuquerque, NM
I have many years of experience in animal husbandry with regards to cleaning, feeding, giving medication, providing enrichment and much more. I have worked in rescue, wildlife rehabilitation, vet tech field, as well as the zoological side and have worked with many different species. I am well equipped to help in any way I can, even when unforeseen problems arise!
Even though I get... Hello! I’m Gin. I have been a active cat owner for 4+ years and a dog owner since I was little. I have a passion for animal care as I am continuing to advance my career as an animal care specialist for endangered species.
I have many years of experience in animal husbandry with regards to cleaning, feeding, giving medication, providing enrichment and much more. I have worked in rescue, wildlife rehabilitation, vet tech field, as well as the zoological side and have worked with many different species. I am well equipped to help in any way I can, even when unforeseen problems arise!
Even though I get to work with many different animals, I am always drawn back to cats of all shapes and sizes! I love the training side of animal husbandry and strive to have good relationships with all animals I work with and pet sit. I apply my training at home from the seminars I get to atttend at work and have seen many improvements to my own cats’ everyday lives. My focus in training is cooperative care which I think is incredibly important with animal’s stress levels and their ability to have a part in their healthcare.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, I cannot wait to work with you and your furry family member! I am available during early mornings, evenings and most holidays. If my availability isn’t open as far in advance as you would like to book, feel free to message and ask! I am COVID vaccinated and able to wear a mask during meet & greets if needed!
Learn More About Gin
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have cat and dog sat for friends and family before throughout the years. I’ve taken care of food, walks, play time, cleaning litter boxes, and administering medications. I’ve also been able to let owners know when there’s been abnormal behavior that leads to a health concern getting taken care of, such as ear infections and hidden pain issues.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love cat sitting and taking photos of the animals. I take great care with making sure all their needs are met and sending detailed updates. I just love animal husbandry in general, it’s very relaxing to me
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two cats, Chai and Buscemi who were rescues. Chai has one eye and Buscemi had nasal problems. Both are happy and healthy now!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I will make sure I know everything about your pet. If any inconsistencies happen I will know when to alert you to any problems. I have a lot of experience with many kinds of medications but always make sure I have all the details not only of what medications are administered when, but how your cat needs them given to ensure they get their treatment
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I always make sure that the cats I’m sitting are not near any doors when opening to enter or exit. And I double check that locks are locked as well. I am very observent of any changes in the animals as well as the home and always alert owners right away when something is abnormal
What is your favorite cat toy?
Cat wands with a sturdy stick, not the ones with just a pole and string. Cats go crazy when you have more control of where the toy is going. I gave a close friend two because their cat broke it from playing too hard
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I have lots of experience with all types of animals being nervous, shy, or even aggressive in new environments or with strangers. I always let the animal approach me first and never force any interaction.

Gin did a great job with my shy/anxious cat, Duke. My cat takes a while to warm up to people and Gin was very patient and calm which helped Duke settle. Duke also needs a medication manually given orally and it was such a relief to know my cat was taken care of while I was gone!

Gin was able to look after my diabetic cat on short notice when I had a medical emergency, and then was flexible about dates as my situation changed. It's a load off my mind to have dependable, kind care for my cat in such situations! Definitely recommend.

Gin was great, even dealing with my curmudgeonly diabetic cat. It was such a huge relief to know my cat was well taken care of while I was hospitalized and getting her insulin shots twice a day as needed. Gin was dependable and sent updates and photos with every visit. They were also very understanding and flexible when my hospitalization was longer than expected. I highly recommend them!

We’ve owned cats for years but this was our first time hiring a sitter. We loved everything we read about Gin and they far exceeded our expectations. Gin’s communication at every visit gave us a sense of comfort while we were away. They followed all of our instructions, even the silly ones. We would certainly hire Gin again and we’ll recommend them to everyone. Thanks for a job well done, Gin!

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.
Albuquerque cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!

Needed a sitter for 10 days. Gin did a great job showing up, tending to my cats water/litter/etc every single day. My cat's very shy with new people but warmed up to Gin to where he got some pets and play time. This was my third time having Gin as my cat sitter and every time they've been great communicators and did everything they needed to do!

Our cat, Trouble, loved having Gin! They went above and beyond taking care of him. We had forgotten to unlock the screen door. Gin patiently waited while the locksmith got them inside! Thanks so much, Gin! We were worried we'd have to come back home!

Gin was responsible and communicative taking care of my shy, medicated cat. They are experienced in medications and nutrition which made explaining dosage easy and gave me peace of mind. 10/10 would book with Gin again :)

Gin was absolutely amazing! We have never left our two cats by themselves for longer than 48 hours before and had to be gone over a week. Gin took amazing care of our two kitties, one who was shy and one who had medical care needs. They were truly the only reason we were able to relax, with the updates and photos we received. Our sink actually started to overflow during our vacation and they let us know right away so we could call maintenence out. Absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend or call again. Thank you again!

We cannot begin to praise Gin enough! From the moment we met them, it was clear they genuinely love animals and takes their responsibilities seriously. They exceeded our already-high expectations of being conscientious, caring, and truly dedicated to ensuring our two girls were well cared for while we were away. Daily photos and updates, of course.We feel incredibly lucky to have found them and will absolutely be booking them again.

Gin was very responsive and did not disappoint. My cat's recently rescued and very shy with new people but seemed to be warming up to them on the second visit. I'll definitely reach out again for future cat-sitter needs.

Gin was the best cat-sitter we could have asked for, as first time Meowtel users! They walked us through the process, and helped us think through how we needed to best prepare for our kitties to be taken care of. We looked forward to their cat-pic updates every day! You can tell Gin really cares, and is a capable animal handler. Full stars!

Using a cat sitter for the first time instead of having family watch the cats was a big step, but the experience was exceptional. Gin provided excellent communication, detailed updates, and adorable photos after every visit. The care and attention given to the cats brought complete peace of mind. A truly outstanding experience overall!
