I'm Marisa | Cat Sitting in Tampa, FL

Hi! Welcome to Sassy Cat Concierge where cats are well cared for & loved; and cat parents feel comfortable & confident in the cat care providedšŸ˜» I have been a cat person since the age of six when I got my first ginger kitty that I named MuffinšŸ’œ Since that pawsome day, I have cared for and loved, many cats and have learned much on how to be a catastic cat guardian! This has especially helped with my feral cat Lucy who came into my life a year and a half ago. I had two cats I raised from kittens to the ripe old ages of 19 and 21 years old! Puck and Holly will always have a special place in my heartšŸ’œ. They are also the reason I have developed a love for senior cats! Here are just a few reasons I will be the most purrfect cat sitter for your feline: - One must always jump to your cats every demand....as Felis catus are descendant from ancient and royal lines. This makes purrfect sense! - Never tell your cat no, ā€¦why would one? Cats are always right, even if they are knocking things off a table or dresser, or using your favorite chair as a ...

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

I have cat sit for friends, family, and co-workers on and off for about 20 years. I love getting to meet new cats and learning all about them. Cat personalities can definitely vary, and can be challenging to learn their quirks. - but, also very rewarding when the sweet kitty gives you a slow blinkšŸ’œ

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new cats of course! Cats can have widely varying personalities. It can be challenging to learn all the kitties quirksā€¦. But so very rewarding when a kitty finally gives you a slow blinkšŸ’œ. I feel so accomplished and honored when I gain the trust of a super shy kitty, and the kitty allows me just a simple scratch or petšŸ’œ

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My current favorite cat sitting reservation was a giant ginger kitty who is part main coon! He weighs about 25lbs, and all he wanted to do was snuggle on my lap while rubbing his head all over! As soon as I would sit down to write my notes in the app and send a message to the client, this fluffy giant ginger would immediately demand my attention by jumping on my lap! I got a great arm work out as I had to hold my phone above my head to type notes to the client! This is one lovable and huggable giant ginger! Iā€™m excited for an upcoming opportunity to be his cat sitter again! šŸ˜»šŸ˜»šŸ˜»šŸˆ

this was the second time Marissa watched my cats, and I swear sheā€™s the cat whisperer!! She has managed to pet and play with both of my shy girls! and tricked them into taking their meds without complaint! Marissa goes above and beyond in cleaning and in keeping me updated. she has helped my anxiety SO MUCH and is worth every penny!!

I literally cannot believe how amazing Marisa did. She did what people who have visited me multiple times usually canā€™t manage, which was make my semi feral, super shy cat comfortable. She even got to pet her! I have family members who havenā€™t managed that! I didnā€™t think she would see either of my cats for the whole week, so color me surprised when they both appeared in pictures and video. Marisa was super professional and detail oriented the whole time. She had meticulous notes, and went above and beyond in her care. Honestly, I donā€™t clean as well as she did every day šŸ¤£! I had so much anxiety before I left on my trip. My one cat had just been diagnosed with cancer, which is why I pulled the trigger on trying this service. By the third day of hearing from Marisa, my anxiety had lowered to barely a simmer, and my guilt at leaving the cats had been assuaged. 15/10, will hire again. And I got a lovely sweet note from her and some handmade soap waiting when I returned home! I cannot recommend Marisa enough!

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
