Learn More About Marie

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My kitties are a mother and daughter we adopted together! Mom’s name is Betsy and her daughter is Woodsy (short for Woodstock, the yellow bird from the peanuts cartoon). Betsy is a tortie and Woodsy seems to be a mix of a tortie and calico from what we can tell. Woodsy is quiet and friendly while Betsy upholds the tortoiseshell reputation of be talkative and sassy!

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

What I would recommend for a good cat sitter is someone who has a good sense of boundaries. Cats are more independent than other pets and don’t like being told what to do! Patience and respect for the cat and its signals are the foundation for a good bond.

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

A timid or anxious cat needs to be given the time and space it asks for. A cat that hisses or hides is not asking you to push it further or chase after it - I would provide the cat its spaces and hiding spots to feel safe as well as any interactions with me to be quiet, calm and on the cats terms. As long as the kitty is healthy, fed and feels safe, my purpose is served.

Frequently Asked Questions

Geneva cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
