I've been cat sitting for 3 years and have lived with cats for 10, and I can't imagine ever living without one. I always make sure to approach cats with patience, calmness, and respect so that they can be as comfortable and happy as possible when their owner is away. I can promise that I will love and care for your cat like my own!

I love being able to help cats feel at ease and happy while their owners are away. It's always a blast meeting a new cat and getting to know their unique personality. Happy cats make me happy!

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.

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.

Washington 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!
