Learn More About Mina

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cat-sitting lets me serve others and deepen my lifelong passion for felines. Each cat's story fascinates me, and learning about their backgrounds makes them even more endearing. Ensuring their comfort and safety brings me joy, so I treat every cat with love and respect like they're my own.

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

For new cat parents, let us arrange a meeting in a public space near you for convenience. I prioritize face-to-face interaction to discuss and understand your cat's specific needs in detail. This ensures we establish a comfortable and trusting relationship from the start.

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

Your cats' comfort is my priority. I specialize in comforting shy cats, respecting their emotions, and letting them initiate contact. I adapt by sitting or bending down for them to approach and sniff. If they prefer distance, I proceed with tasks while allowing them to observe. For very timid cats, I show affection with a pet-owner-approved treat.

Mina is an amazing cat sitter! This was the first time she kept my cat and I can easily say that my kitty was in great hands. Mina is very thorough - she communicated every step of her visit, with pictures, videos and updates that any cat parent would appreciate. And my cat liked her right away! Grateful to have had her care for my cat!

Mina is the best! She was super responsive and respectful and took the time to get to know the personalities of my babies before she even went to meet them. It felt way more comfortable knowing they felt comfortable with her. Definitely will work with her again in the future!

I've hired Mina several times now and plan to continue hiring her for as long as she is available. She is great with our cat Freedom and gives him plenty of pets and loving while we are away. She communcates promptly and clearly, sends great photos and videos, and is willing to go above and beyond when needed! She is also very courteous and keeps us informed not just about the cat but also about other house related concerns like the arrival of packages etc.

Mina takes great care of my senior kitties (17 years). They both take lots of pills on a daily basis and Mina does a fantastic job of getting them to take their pills using a caring and gentle style. I would definitely use Mina again for future trips.

I couldn't be happier with the care my cat, Penny received from Mina while I was away. She was incredibly attentive and ensured Penny was well taken care of. I really appreciated the regular updates and the photos that she sent during each check-in—it gave me peace of mind knowing my girl was in good hands. I can tell Mina has a genuine love for animals, and it showed in the way they interacted Penny. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter 😃

This is my second time booking Mina. Our cat Freedom was recovering from a sudden illness at the time of our trip, so he had extra medications and needed more careful monitoring. Mina was great about providing this, giving updates so we knew he was getting all his meds at the right times and was seeing symptom improvement, which gave us peace of mind! She also took in our mail and watered our plants, sent great pictures and videos, and showed appreciation for Freedom's particular personality and preferences. Mina is a fantastic cat sitter and I plan to continue using her services.

Mina always does a great job taking care of our 4 fur babies. While we were on vacation, one of my senior kitties (17 years old) had a medical issue. Mina was great and took my boy to Veterinary Emergency Group to receive care and communicated with me frequently. I highly recommend booking with Mina. You will be very happy!

Mina did a fantastic job of medicating (pilling) my almost 17 year old male kitty. He gets 4 pills every night and is not a fan of getting pilled. Mina was gentle and patient with my boy and made it a wonderful experience for him. She sent me photos and videos so I could see how well he was doing after the medicine. I will definitely use Mina again and recommend her highly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mount Vernon cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
