Reliable Care for Your Favorite Furball 🐾

Hi, I’m Mary 😸

I’ve been a lifelong cat lover and currently care for my two cats, Blueberry Pie and Apple Pie, so I understand how unique each cat’s personality and routine can be. From playful and energetic to shy or independent, I take the time to meet each cat where they are.

I provide reliable, attentive care to keep your cat comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, keep things consistent, and make sure your cat feels safe in their own space.

With over 10 years in print production, I bring strong attention to detail, reliability, and consistency to every visit so you can trust that nothing will be overlooked.

I’m based in the Baltimore area and can travel to surrounding neighborhoods. If your date isn’t listed as available, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate!

Feel free to message me with any questions. I’d love to meet you and your cat(s)! 🐱💛

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 😸

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!

Mary was an amazing cat sitter! My cat is not the most sociable, but Mary was patient and spent the time for him to be comfortable enough for pets and playing. She also sent many photos and videos of each visit, making me feel at ease. Mary goes above and beyond for her clients and their owners <3

Mary is a fantastic cat-sitter! She sent me videos of my kitties that were fit for a wildlife documentary and handled medication for my high-maintenance cat like a pro. So grateful to have such a reliable caretaker for my cats when traveling for work.

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!

Mary was so great with my extremely shy cat. She took the time to check on her even though my cat tried to hide the whole time. She kept me up-to-date and sent pictures when she could and she followed all of my instructions. I was so grateful to have a kind, reliable person to stop in and take care of my girl.

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 $26.00. 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!
