I have used Mina as a cat sitter a number of times and I continue to have only good things to say about her! She is great about communication, sends photos and videos for every visit, and is mindful of Freedom's health and medication. When I realized that we would be getting back home later then initially expected Mina was able to give Freedom additional food and even sent a message asking if he was doing ok after our reservation ended, which I think speaks to the care she has for the cats she watches over.

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!

Mia was fantastic to work with! I booked a really last minute trip with her. She managed to squeeze in a last minute meet and greet and was incredibly thorough with note taking and questions. I very much appreciate the care she put into her getting to know my kitties. I look forward to working with her more for future cat sitting needs!

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!

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 was absolutely wonderful and very competent. She handled my cats with so much patience and care. I just moved to my new place and couldn't leave my cats as I couldn't find a reliable and experienced sitter. Mina is my first from Meowtel and very satisfied with the experience. Don't think twice just book her :)

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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.
Mount Vernon cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $34.00. 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!

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.

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 😃

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.
