Learn More About Mario

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

I am currently in my first year of sitting, and I love being a Meowtel cat sitter! The experience has been highly rewarding. I truly enjoy giving cat parents the peace of mind that comes with knowing they can rest assured their cat will be treated like one of my own. I also love meeting so many different cats, and I have definitely developed a special bond with each and every one of them!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

It's definitely the bond I develop with each cat.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My wife and I share our home with 4 rescues. Two black cats, Midnight and Luna, and Captain and Calypso who are litter mates. We have also fostered several cats through Guardian Angels Cat Rescue in Waylan MA. Throughout the course of our 17 year relationship, we have shared our home with a total of 8 rescues and 3 fosters.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Cat safety is always my highest priority. One of the very first things I always look out for are the present or possible dangers lurking about. Are there doors or windows they could escape from? And how easily could they do so? Are there any objects in the house that could present a danger? Loose wires or plastic bags they could become ensnared in? Are there any poisonous plants, or other unsafe items they could accidentally consume? How secure is the stovetop? These and any other issues I find will always be addressed with cat parents before or during a reservation.

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

Gentle, quiet movements, slow eye blinks, and a calming voice. I always let a timid cat come to me first. My most recent cat, Luna, was practically feral when I first saw her. She had been abandoned and was living in the woods for months. It took several weeks for her to trust me, but through slow and steady progress, one cold dark night after feeding her, she slowly approached me, sniffed my hand, and fell purring into my lap. I almost cried with happiness!

Mario was fabulous with my three cats! He is a fabulous communicator, arranging the right time to be at the house. He sent great updates, kept an eye on the state of the boxes and fountains and even watered my outside plants during a heatwave. He is also personable with the cats and did his best to charm them out of their hiding places when he was at the house. I will definitely have Mario come check the furkids again!

Mario, aka Meowrio, was Sylvester's amazing Manny! As an experienced proud dad of 4 fluffers, he didn't miss a meow on what to do. We received daily pictures & updates. He meticulously cleaned the litter box, ensured there were ice cubes in the water and adjusted the AC during a heatwave. Meowrio groomed him daily. Even knitted a sweater!😹I'm kitten you about that last one, but I'm sure he could have! He's a great communicator and very detailed. Sylvester is encouraging us to go on another vacation soon so he can hang out with Meowrio again!😻

Mario was an amazing cat sitter for our two cats while abroad on vacation. His attention to detail and care for them was above and beyond! We had painters in our house while away and Mario left notes to remind the crew to keep inside doors open so that the cats would have access to the whole house. His updates always included photos and a recap of events - and he spent extra time with our cats so they felt loved. I would recommend Mario to anyone looking for exceptional care. We will absolutely be looking to use him again!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Framingham cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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.
