Learn More About Maria

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new kitties and making sure they have some company and fun while their parents are away. Any time I leave my cat even just for a day it is comforting to know someone is visiting and watching over him and I want to give that sense of security to the other per parents I sit for.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My cat Mochi is 13 years old and very sweet and cuddly. I had another cat, Java, who I inherited from a coworker who sadly passed away a few years ago (he was an old man when I got him). I am hoping to get another cat sometime to give Mochi some company.

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

With patience! I used to be a teacher so patience is a quality I have had to hone over the years. I have learned that sitting and waiting for them to approach and speaking in a calming voice can go a long way.

Maria did a fantastic job taking care of our cats and giving them some T.L.C. she shared some pics and went above and beyond to keep the place clean. Very much appreciated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Newark 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 $37.00. 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.
