Cat Sitting in Boise, ID

Hello! My name is Marnie and I would love to look after your little ones while you are away. I grew up in a house that never had a shortage of fur-babies aging anywhere from newborn to end of life, where I learned to care for bottle-fed abandons, injured barn cats, and even a wobbly little guy with cerebellar hypoplasia.

Hello! My name is Marnie and I would love to look after your little ones while you are away. I grew up in a house that never had a shortage of fur-babies aging anywhere from newborn to end of life, where I learned to care for bottle-fed abandons, injured barn cats, and even a wobbly little guy with cerebellar hypoplasia.

I just celebrated my 11 year gotcha-versary with my soul cat and best friend Luna. She has arthritis and dementia and it has been the joy of my life to care for and celebrate her for nearly her entire life.

I love getting to know new cats and their amazing and varied personalities, and as someone with their own anxieties about leaving Luna behind, I carry a deep empathy for fellow travelers who are missing their little pals. I am more than willing to invest the time and the love in order to make sure that every detail is cared for while you are away.

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

I have been catsitting for 15 years, since I was in college! I have experience with both overnight and drop-in care and am familiar with nearly every corner of this valley.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know every goofy, neurotic, cuddly new little personality and the immense satisfaction of winning over your cat's trust.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have had my soul cat for 11 years now! Her name is Luna and she is my absolute joy. We've road-tripped across the country together several times, lived through covid lockdown just two girlie against the world, and now I have the privilege of loving and caring for her in her granny era 🩷

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.

Boise 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!
