I’ve been taking care of cats for 30 years. I’ve always had cats growing up, and I love giving them love and affection.

I enjoy giving them the attention they need, and being patient with the ones that are a little scared. Patience is always a virtue with cats. I learned that with rescuing my baby cat I have now.

Mary was so sweet and excellent with my shy kitty! She had to give oral medications and my cat is hesitant around unknown people. Mary was patient and went slow with my cat to make her feel comfortable. Everything went great! She kept the water dishes full and made sure the litter boxes were always cleaned. She is very sweet and patient. I would recommend her to anyone!

Mary was amazing! She was super responsive from the moment I reached out. You can see how much she loves kitties and she sent detailed updates each visit with lots of pictures and videos. My crazy kitten, Twerp, really loved her and she played with him so much. I was completely at ease knowing he was in excellent hands.

Mary fully lives up to her Cat Concierge service! She took care of my 20 year old, special needs kitty. Of course, all kitties have special needs and Mary is happy to care for them just as they would be cared by you. The sweetest moment was when she first arrived, my cat gave her leg a rub..and a lick! She was 'chosen'!!

Mary took care of my two kitties for 10 days and I am very pleased that she kept us informed daily with videos and pics. My kitties seemed very relaxed with Mary. I feel that Mary is a great sitter and I plan to hire her again soon.

This was my first time using a cat sitter but it will not be my last. Mary was fantastic with my little fur baby. I really appreciate the daily videos that Mary sent showing my little girl playing and enjoying her daily visits. Mary also offered to get my mail and water my plants if needed. It was great coming home to a clean little box and a happy cat.

If I could give 10 stars I would. This individual who I have affectionately dubbed, “ the cat whisperer”, Mary, was an absolute lifesaver at a very vulnerable time for my family. She came and cared for my son‘s 3 cats for one full month in my condo, religiously every single day, and loved on them and took care of all of their needs in a way that only a family member would’ve done! Had I not met this once in a lifetime individual, I don’t know what we would’ve done as we were in a jam and had to rush home up north really quickly and then had to stay longer unexpectedly. Some people take their roles in other people‘s lives very very seriously and Mary certainly did. She was an avid communicator and she sent the most beautiful pictures of my three kitties that I will treasure forever. I now consider her a friend in the St. Petersburg area! You will not be disappointed if you hire her!

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.
Saint Petersburg cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!

Mary is a gem! Lady Pebbles adores and feels totally comfortable around Mary. Mary sends pictures and videos, lets us know the food and drink situation, and is very responsive. We have worked with Mary twice now and will continue working with her as long as she will have us.
