About Barbara-
Based in Berkeley County
I've been around cats my entire life, and can't imagine not having cats in my home. My husband and I currently live with three cats: Munchkin, a nine year-old orange tabby, Miss Kitty. a six year-old grey tabby and Bart Simpson a four month old grey tuxedo tabby..
I work with adults with substance use disorder as a recovery coach and peer specialist , so l am skilled at giving individual attention, along with patience.
My schedule is rather flexible, and I can usually make morning and evening visits to cats in their homes easily , with daytime or afternoon availability as well.
I am thoroughly vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19.
I live in Inwood (Gerrardstown)
in southwest Berkeley County,
so I can easily access western Jefferson county. and all of Berkeley County, as well as Northern Frederick County VA. But don't be afraid to get in touch if you're outside of that area! Maybe we can work something out.
I have previously administered injections and pills to cats; let's consult about this to make sure your needs are compatible with my experience.
Learn More About Barbara
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes I have three kitties-“Baby” Bart Simpson who is 5 months old , Miss Kitty - aged 6 years , and Munchkin who is 9 years
Are you usually available during holidays?
Having a small family who are all in Berkeley County West Virginia, I am usually always available during the holidays. Will like 1-2 weeks notice before the 1st day of the scheduled visits
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
With kitties who are timid or anxious, I give them the time and space that they need, being calm, sending them lots of positive energy and love while waiting for them to come out. My girl Miss Kitty was a rescue who was shut down and anxious, and beyond timid. She quickly became more interested/curious what I was doing tha she came out of hiding

Inwood 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 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!
