Learn More About Marisa

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

I’ve been a cat owner for almost 2 decades and a cat sitter for almost 8 years. I’ve also volunteered with a local cat shelter for 2 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love learning every cat’s quirks! Cats are so unique and have big personalities. I believe in slow introductions with new animals, but it’s magical when a cat learns to trust you.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have one named Applesauce. I met him the first day I volunteered at Furkids and fell in love. I love being this sweet, sensitive boy’s human.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Look for someone who will provide you and your cat with the care they would expect for their own feline friend! You can never go wrong with the golden rule.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I can virtually guarantee to be in town and available for most major holidays. I know being away from pets can be stressful so I hope I can alleviate that stress.

What is your favorite cat toy?

His favorite actual toy are those springs and those little balls with the jingle bell in them. I found out on a whim be also loves playing with pieces of toaster waffle. Who knew?

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

I believe in letting the cat lead the way! Having a new person in their space can be stressful and overwhelming so slow and steady wins the race.

Marisa was awesome! I was worried about Luna because she’s usually pretty shy with new people but she was so happy to see Marisa every day and even let her get some head scratches in! I’d definitely book with her again no questions asked!

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.

Smyrna cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
