Learn More About Marlena

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been taking care of cats for approximately 17 years, ranging from kittens to seniors to cats that regularly need medication.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I get excited about meeting new cats and getting to know each of their personalities. I usually try to get a vibe of the cat or go based off what the owner says in terms of the cat’s personality and mannerisms. If the cat is playful, I love to play and keep the cat engaged. If the cat is more shy, I give the cat time to acclimate to me. I sit on the ground and see if the cat approaches or I give the cat treats (if instructed by the owner). If the cat is very timid and chooses to hide most of the time then I also respect that.

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

Yes, my friends call me the cat whisperer because they say im good at being able to pick up on the cats vibe and from there I adjust how I approach the cat. If the cat just wants to be left alone, then I respect that decision and let the cat do its thing. I typically bring a book or work to do in case the cat doesn’t want to hang out.

Marlena is a caring and wonderful sitter. The transition was smooth and stress free. We were able to have a wonderful vacation because we knew our cat was in good hands.

Marlena is a not only a great cat sitter but also a very good communicator and respectful person to the home she will be entering. Nothing but positives from her. Any request that was asked was communicated and carried out to perfection. Would highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Concord cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $36.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
