Cat Sitting in Bradenton, FL

Hi! My name is Marisa. I am the pet mom of two fur babies, Yami and Hazel, who I absolutely adore! I recently came back from South Korea where I was a teacher. I adopted Hazel in South Korea and of course brought her back home with me! I am currently working at an animal hospital and help take care of sick and boarded dogs and cats. I feed and provide medication to the animals when needed.... Hi! My name is Marisa. I am the pet mom of two fur babies, Yami and Hazel, who I absolutely adore! I recently came back from South Korea where I was a teacher. I adopted Hazel in South Korea and of course brought her back home with me! I am currently working at an animal hospital and help take care of sick and boarded dogs and cats. I feed and provide medication to the animals when needed. Because of my job my schedule is very flexible! Generally I can visit your cat(s) anytime between 9am- 6pm any day of the week! I have grown up and fostered many kitties through out my life so I am confident in my ability to watch and care for all types of cats! My cats are family to me and I will treat your cat just as I treat mine, like family. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby!

Marisa administered our cat Turtle’s insulin while I was out of town for a 3-week work trip. Turtle is terrified of strangers since he was abused, so it was very nerve-racking to find someone up to the task of gently wrangling him. She was communicative, flexible, and followed all instructions!

Marisa was fantastic from start to finish, and both cats warmed up to her much faster than they typically do. The daily photos and updates were especially appreciated, and really helped to calm the anxiety of being away. I'd highly recommend Marisa and hope she's available every time I'm gone :)

Marisa was timely, dependable, communicative, and particularly kind (even though my cat made an a$$ of himself at their first meeting). She won him over in no time. Highly recommend!

Marisa did a great job of cat-sitting! She communicated how they were doing daily- even sending pictures! She seemed to enjoy their personalities. I would definitely have her help us again.

Reservation went great and sitter was awesome! Sent pictures of my pet, before and after of the litter box plus shots of the water and bowl to ensure I was assured my pet was well taken care of.

Marisa was reliable, courteous and great about letting me know how my fur babies were doing while I was away. She will be my first choice should I need a pet sitter again in the future!

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.

Bradenton 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 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 Meet & Greet!
