Learn More About Mary

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

My first cat was 7 years old when I found a stray kitten I've always loved cats. They're so unpredictable, they have so much personality of their own, and each one is different. Some can be a little difficult but when giving time I've managed to bring around the best out of kitties.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Playtime is the perfect opportunity to relax and get to know your kitty, and built trust a great way for them to warm up to some much-needed cuddles😻

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Mittens and Pumpkin. 🎃 is my new addition to the family and she is still adjusting, quite funny, and quite a demanding kitty as we only had her for about 2 months.

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

Allow the cat to approach you at their own pace. It's essential to let them warm up to the idea of having someone else in their environment while their owner is away especially. You might consider leaving an old shirt or blanket near their sleeping area that carries your scent. This way, they will recognize that you are still there. Plus, they'll have something comforting to cuddle with that reminds them of you, and rest assured, it will ease their anxiousness until your return. 😼 As always, I do have another recommended cat sitter from "Meowtel" as a backup plan in case something were to happen unexpectedly.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always tend to check behind me and make sure any kitties are not following me out the door as kitties do from time to time. I tend to send a video of myself leaving the house, safe and secure. I also videotape the kitties at the door as I'm leaving, so I can ensure you that they're safe and sound. As I do with all of my customers, I videotape the locking of the door, etc. To make sure your house is safe and secure. I also provide references if needed upon request

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I will do my best to accommodate you and your kitty. I am flexible with every situation, and last-minute requests are welcome 😺

What is your favorite cat toy?

The wrand of course, because it really brings that playfulness they crave the idea of catch and release. And it comes also comes with some great photo shots during play.

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

I create a treat trail at feeding time that will capture their attention. If that doesn’t work, using string or a toy almost always does the trick. Engaging them in conversation is also key, and making them feel included.

Mary took great care of both of our cats. Our elder cat requires medicine twice a day and Mary took great care of her. Mary was able to make a courtesy visit to walk through the cat items, medication distribution, and meet both cats so they can get used to a new person. Mary was quick at responding and understanding on the schedule changes or last-minute things with the cats. I appreciate her work and responsibilities and would love for her to watch our cats again.

Always a pleasure to have Mary visit with our 2 cats and entertain them. Mary is consistent with providing updates and many photos/videos. Our cats seem to really enjoy her visits and wait for her at the door for each visit. She even got my shy cat to be playful and take her medicine. Always happy to have Mary come visit and care for our girls and will be asking her to help again in the future!

Mary watched after my two cats for a couple of days while I was out of town during the holidays. She provided excellent communication, sent pictures, and provided a summary after each visit. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter in the area!

Mary is one of the best cat sitters I've found. My Danielle is comfortable when she's around and Mary gives her plenty of pets and a [reasonable] amount of treats. She even vacuums and cleans Dani's eating area to get rid of the mess. Highly recommended!

Mary did a fabulous job with my Dani! She texted me when she would be arriving and updated me as to where Dani was hiding. She sent several photos. Dani came out of her hiding spot within the 45 minutes for pets and treats because she is initially shy but warms up to cat people! I will be hiring Mary whenever I go out of town.

Frequently Asked Questions

Palm Bay cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
