Learn More About Maya
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been doing cat sitting for 4 years mainly through my neighbors, coworkers, or friends and family. I know how to interpret cat behaviour and how to handle each cats personal needs.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two kitties myself. I have a 2 year old Calico that I rescued from a coworker’s barn when she was 6 weeks old. Her name is Patches and is very adventurous. She loves the outdoors and knows how to walk with a harness and leash. My older cat is a long-haired Siamese and I got her when she was 2 years old through an adoption shelter. She is particularly attached to me and will wail if she’s not around me. Her name is Moon and she is 6 years old.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Ensuring the safety and security of both the cats and the home is my top priority. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, litter box maintenance, and any special care needs. I always check that doors and windows are secure, keep hazardous items out of reach, and monitor the cat’s behavior for any signs of distress or illness. If any issues arise, I communicate promptly with the owner. Additionally, I respect the home by keeping it clean and tidy, ensuring the cat’s environment remains safe and comfortable.

Maya was quick to respond and set up the meet and greet, seemed clear on what was needed, and even offered to take care of plants and other things if needed. She coaxed our shy cat out from under the bed and spent some quality time with him before leaving and sent us photos and a behavior/food and water check-in. Communication was timely (but not excessive which we appreciate as we were traveling), and friendly. Thank you Maya! - Michelle & Brady

We had a great experience with Maya. She took such wonderful care of our kitties while we were away. Communication was great and she sent updates and pictures everyday. We couldn’t be happier and we will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

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.
Surprise cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!

Ever since Maya has met my cats and taken care of them they have bonded immediately. My cats are not the usual type to trust someone so easily but with Maya it was almost immediate and the way they acted told me that they were well taken care of.
