I'm Mariko
Cat Sitting in Denver, CO
I am a proactive caretaker and will not just be on the couch when I’m taking care of your cat. As a anxious cat parent myself I will make sure that I take a lot of pictures of your cat and give plenty of updates. I’ll try to make improvements on how to make your cat look forward to me visiting! All I want to do is make cats happy.
Learn More About Mariko
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have one American short hair cat called Soba. She is a gentle and curious cat who is very happy at home. I enjoy taking care of my cat and even litter scooping isn’t a problem for me at all.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I’ll make sure the home environment is safe and check for any open doors windows, hazardous objects. I’ll try to maintain a stable routine for the cat and make sure the temperature and lighting seems fine and comfortable.
What is your favorite cat toy?
Classic wand toys are my favorite. I can really make my cat run and jump for the toy and get them curious by hiding it behind objects.

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.
Denver cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
