Learn More About Shawn-Marie

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats, Luna and Leo. Luna is a calico with a sassy, opinionated personality—she’s chatty and always wants to be involved, but only on her terms. Leo is a white domestic shorthair who’s shy at first, but once he’s comfortable, he’s a lovebug. He will sit as close as possible to me, stare at me intently, and meow nonstop for pets. I love how distinct each of their personalities are, but at the end of the day, they both want my love and attention, just in their own styles.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to start with a meet and greet to learn about their cat’s unique personality, routine, and preferences. I ask how their cat usually behaves when they’re away and review vet and emergency information in detail. This helps me understand what’s normal for that cat and what might be cause for concern. I also outline a clear care plan, including emergency steps, so everyone is on the same page. Additionally, I like to outline the communication preference while they are away. I communicate as much or as little as the pet parent prefers, providing regular updates or giving them space to enjoy their time away.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I understand how important holiday times are for pet parents, and I’m flexible and do my best to be available during those periods. Since my schedule includes a 9-to-5 job, I recommend reaching out early to book any holiday pet sitting well in advance. That way, I can plan accordingly and provide the best care possible for your cat, even during busy seasons. I’m happy to discuss your needs and see how I can fit into your holiday plans.

Shawn-Marie is the ultimate cat lover. She is the first person I would ask to watch my cat as I know my cat will be loved. She will not only ensure your cat is properly fed, water changed and litter box emptied, your cat will receive loving attention, play time and genuine enthusiasm at every interaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dorchester cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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.
