Learn More About Mary

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

I’ve been a professional cat sitter with Meowtel since 2020 and a cat mom since 2001. I have significant experience taking care of cats with behavior conditions (not using their litter-box, adjusting to a new cat in the house, etc.), health conditions (administering oral medication, creams/ointments, ear drops, inhalers, etc.), senior cat needs, and more.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I catsit because cats are my biggest passion. I am truly enamored by them and will go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your time away from your beloved kitty(s). I’ll send a TON of pictures and videos because ad a fellow cat meowm of two, I fully understand the importance of seeing your baby(s) in good paws as much as possible while you’re away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Toasty and Gnocchi!!

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

Find a TRUE cat person. That’s what I love most about Meowtel — it’s a company run for cats and cat people, by cats and cat people. No other service offers the same level of care and consistency. When you’re looking for sitter, find someone that’s, passionate (obsessed) as you are. They should be enthusiastic and excited to work with you and your cat(s). You want to know that they will be in good paws while you’re away and will provide you everything that you need and more!

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

Regardless of how your cat(s) takes to strangers, I’ll ensure that I have eyes on them as soon as I arrive, and before I leave. I will spend my entire visit taking care of and spending time with your cat(s). I also double check every time I enter an exit the home that the doors are locked and everything is intact while you are away.

What is your favorite cat toy?

“Da bird”, cat playpens, wand toys, plastic spring toys, and catnip!

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

Cats are excellent communicators. I always respect their boundaries and let them come to me first. I’m very observant of their cues, and will follow their lead when taking care of them. One of my cats, Gnocchi, is often anxious the longer I’m away so I have a lot of experience navigating this. I will spend as much time as needed during our meet and greet to ensure I’m able to provide the best care for both you and your cat(s).

I feel so much better on vacation knowing my girl has Mary. She spends quality time with her and has excellent communication with me (including fantastic photos). She goes above & beyond and we are lucky to have found her!

Mary was absolutely fantastic, flexible, and went above and beyond for my kitties! I have two cats of totally opposite personalities and both of them were well looked after according to their needs. Mary provided daily updates (complete with fantastic photos!) that totally put my mind at ease while out of town, and was very responsive throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would be happy to use her services again should the opportunity arise.

Mary is the BEST. She went so above and beyond to make my cat feel happy and loved while we were gone. It was clear she really cares 🥰 She sent so many photos and videos of all the cuddles, treats, and good times and he looked totally blissed out in all of them. I can’t say enough good things!!!

Mary was a great help to us. We tasked her with feeding our feral cats. One strictly outdoor and one indoor/outdoor with very little exposure to any people except us. She was able to interact with both cats and I'm sure with more time she'd have made friends with our indoor/outdoor cat. Her love of cats is obvious. Will definitely hire her again if the need arises.

Mary was easy to communicate with and gave our spoiled kitty all the love and attention she deserves! 😸 she also managed our cats pills and ear medicine. My husband and I loved seeing all the photos and videos she sent. Would absolutely book Mary again!

Our cat was so happy to see Mary everyday. He ran to her and flopped at her feet for a head scratch. Mary even watered some plants for us which made them very happy. We had a great trip knowing our cat had a daily checkin from Mary and loved all the pictures and updates she sent to us. We will definitely use this service on our next trip out of town.

Mary came by and was professional, clearly a cat lover and had excellent questions that showed she was interested in doing a good job. I appreciated her pix of my cats while I was gone. While it was just two evenings, all went well and I was most satisfied with this new arrangement.

Mary is incredible. I feel so guilty leaving my girl, Lettie, but know she is in the best of hands with Mary. It is more than basic needs like feeding & cleaning the box. My cat thrives with play & affection. Mary is able to get to know the cat and meet their individual needs. Thank you!

Mary was amazing. She sent pictures, videos & messages daily which was a relief because I was so worried about leaving my sweet cat, Lettie. It is also clear in the videos & pictures that Lettie adored Mary. I can’t imagine having anyone else watch her. She did more than pet sit, she gave Lettie the love & care she needed while I was gone. I cannot even properly express how fantastic Mary is with cats. It is clear how much Mary cares for cats & as a result the cats will be in the best of hands.

Mary is incredible! I cannot say enough good things! However, to say a few, she was very trustworthy, respectful, and I felt very comfortable with her checking in on our cat Walter twice a day while we were gone a week on vacay. She sent us pictures or videos every single time! Highly recommend!

Mary is the best. I know Lettie is in good hands when Mary watches her. She really understands the indidual cat. Whether Lettie is looking to be social or feeling a bit reclusive, Mary meets her where she is at which is why Lettie (and I) trust her completely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Minneapolis 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
