I'm Marissa
Cat Sitting in Anderson, IN
Every visit includes plenty of pets and play, fresh food and wate... Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — and that lifelong bond shows in every visit. I bring calm, patience, and genuine affection to each cat I care for, taking the time to understand their personality so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away.
Every visit includes plenty of pets and play, fresh food and water, and a clean litter box. I'm also experienced with oral and topical medications, so cats with special needs are always welcome.
Based in Anderson and available for drop-ins within a 30 mile radius, I offer a flexible schedule with free weekends — so I can work around your cat's routine, not the other way around. I treat every cat like my own.

Sabbath, my stunning 12-year-old tortoiseshell, has been my constant companion since kittenhood — she's one reason I love cats so deeply.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I ensure safety by securely locking doors, monitoring cats closely, maintaining a clean environment, and following your home's specific care instructions carefully.

I approach anxious or timid cats with gentle patience, quiet reassurance, slow movements, and respectful their space to build trust gradually.

Marissa was wonderful to work with. During our Meet & Greet, she asked thoughtful, thorough questions. Throughout the visits, she sent detailed updates with photos, which gave me real peace of mind. Most importantly, it was clear she genuinely cared—she took time and effort to make sure my cat was well cared for. I’d absolutely recommend Marissa!

Anderson cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
