Learn More About Maryn

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

I've been cat sitting for 3 years, both here in DC and back home in Georgia. I've lived with cats for 10 years, so I know how to recognize when a cat is uncomfortable or upset. I have experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, including those who are timid or very shy. I always aim to establish trust between myself and every cat I meet. Communication is very important to me, and I will always provide regular updates and lots of pictures!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I stayed with three lovely cats for 10 days while their owners were out of the country. I got to spend lots of quality time with them, and it felt great to see a shy cat come out of her shell to play and snuggle!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a 5-year-old tuxedo cat named Nova. Her favorite activities include watching birds at the feeder and playing with plastic water bottle caps. When I was a child, my family had a sweet orange tabby named Teazer.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I always take notes and ask lots of questions. It's important to me to ask about your cat's behaviors, preferences, dislikes, and quirks! I want to make sure that every cat I meet, and their owner, will be as comfortable as possible. I'm happy to set up a meet-and-greet!

Maryn is a cat lover and it shows in the way she cares for our 2 Siberians! We did not worry about them at all while we were out of town for several weeks when Maryn was sitting for our fur babies. She communicates clearly and often, and texted photos and videos which warmed our hearts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Washington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
