Marisa was amazing as always! This time we turned the difficulty level up, as I now have 6 cats! She expertly juggled keeping them at bay and actually came up with a more efficient way to do meal time that I’ve now adopted. Marisa successfully conquered my medically complex cat, and caught her even when she was being sneaky. I have trouble giving her medication some days, so the fact Marisa managed it is amazing. my house was cleaner when I got home then when I left. She is sweet, kind, and watching her interact with my cats just shows how wonderful of a soul she is 10/10.

Marisa charmed Clyde out of hiding for lots of love. It is so nice to go away and not worry about my fur babies.

Marissa is freaking magic! She had to give one of my shy kitties her steroid pill every day, and chemo on one day. She got her to swallow every day! Even I have trouble with that sometimes! 🤣 Marissa juggled handling 4 cats effortlessly.

Fantastic cat sitter. She took care of our two very shy kitties. Clyde did come out to play. Both cats were calm and happy when we came home. Loved the pics Marisa sent.

As always, Marisa went above, and beyond. She left it cleaner than when I left my house. It looked like she had so much fun with my new cat. Marisa always gives fantastic, detailed updates. She has completely charmed my shy cats, so much so that they don’t even hide when she comes in. I don’t know what I would do without her.

I literally cannot believe how amazing Marisa did. She did what people who have visited me multiple times usually can’t manage, which was make my semi feral, super shy cat comfortable. She even got to pet her! I have family members who haven’t managed that! I didn’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 don’t clean as well as she did every day 🤣! 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
Tampa cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
