Learn More About Mary

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

I have been cat sitting since July 2024 and I really enjoy getting to take care of so many different kitties. I already knew a lot about caring for cats but I am able to learn so much more about their personalities, and different products such as food, litter, toys, etc. I will never give unsolicited advice about how to care for your kitties, but if you would like to know my opinion on how you may be able to better care for them, just ask!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to know each cat individually and learn their different personalities. Every cat is unique and it’s like making a new friend every time I meet one!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties of my own. Their names are Blueberry Pie, and Apple Pie! I adopted them in November 2023, when they were 3 months old, but our bond feels like we’ve been together forever! Blueberry loves to play and Apple is pretty chill until he gets the zoomies. I love learning new things about my boys everyday and I can’t wait to watch them grow 🥰

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

Ask all the questions. And be prepared to answer a lot of questions too! No question is silly when it comes to the care of your fur babies. You have to make sure everyone involved is a good fit ☺️

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

Before reservations, I always make sure to ask my clients important questions about the home and anything that may be a hazard to the cats. During my visits with the cats, I take note to anything that may be a concern, such as an open window, or anything that may have been left out that the cats can get into. I also ensure the security of the home by making sure the doors are locked when I arrive, locking the door once I enter the home, and double check that I lock all doors when I leave.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I’m usually available during holidays. Holidays are usually when people need a sitter the most and I’m happy to help! If I am unavailable, my calendar will accurately reflect that.

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

I like to give kitties their time and space. They need to know you’re not a threat and allowing them to process you in their own time helps build trust. I like to think I can understand cats and their personalities very well so it usually doesn’t take long for a shy kitty to warm up to me 😸

This was the 1st time I've tried this service. It was the 3rd reservation in 1 month. I will say "book Mary". I had 2 very anxiety ridden cats that I was quite concerned about. Although they each gave her a run for the money each in different ways, she handled well and was eager to please. The boys were fed well, box scooped thoroughly daily and she did pretty much anything extra I asked. Trash out & cans put back, special diets, watered all plants as well as after storm care for them & run away lawn mower, sprayed for squirrels & deer, tried to bond & interact with them but they were difficult, daily reports & pics/videos when she could capture them & even made a special food run. She respected privacy of certain areas as requested. I'm sure I'm forgetting other things but I know you will find her efforts well worth it. I'm just not sure i love the app or the company but I'll leave that up to you to decide and say no more. I've tried in the past friends, family & other paid services and ALL disappointed in many ways but Mary I would certainly recommend where none of the others I would!

Mary took great care of my 2 cats. She didn’t hesitate to act when an emergency arose and stayed with my cat at the ER until I got home.

Mary was so great with my kitties!! They can be skittish with strangers, but she had such a calming energy and they seemed to have no problems coming out to see her! She followed our instructions to the letter, administered meds perfectly, and was very communicative. I can’t thank her enough for taking care of our babies! I would definitely hire her again!

Mary communicated soon after each visit and included videos which were great! My shy cats are taking their own time getting to know her and she’s been very patient with them which I appreciate.

Mary GREATLY exceeded our expectations. I didn't think my skittish cat would let anyone give her her liquid meds or pills but Mary got it done. She is kind and gentle and talked to our kitty exactly how I do, haha. Mary was a great communicator and sent us updates including pictures and videos with every visit. We will never use anyone else to care for our fur baby as long as she is still working!

I was very anxious about leaving my three cats for a week -- especially the six-month old kitten -- I don't travel much. But when I first met Mary prior to my trip, her kindness and knowledge of cats can through and I immediately calmed down. She did a great job with the cats, sent multiple photos and videos each day (which go a long way to demonstrating the cats are ok) and the house (feeding stations, litter boxes, etc. ) were clean and in good shape upon my return. The cats were apparently unfazed by my absence!

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.

Baltimore cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
