My name is Mary and I am OBSESSED with cats! From their silly little noses to their precious baby toe beans - cats are my passion. I am a true cat person.

I have experience working with cats with behavioral conditions, administering medicine, providing care for senior cats, and everything in between.

My services include light cleaning around the cat's food area, litter, and play spaces. I will sweep and vacuum to ensure your cat's areas are as clean as possible! I also water plants, take in mail, etc. Anything you need - do not hesitate to ask!

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 extensive experience taking care of cats with behavioral conditions (anxiety, inconsistent litter box usage, 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 need cat people taking care of them when their pawrents are away. As a frequent traveler myself, I recognize how hard it is being away from your babies and I will do whatever I can to ensure you enjoy your time away from your beloved kitty(s). I take a ton of photos and videos so you’ll get lots of updates on how they’re doing!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two: Toasty and Gnocchi! Gnocchi is black with green eyes and she’s a very vocal lady. Toast is an orange and white silly little guy.

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 as 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!

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.

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).

Mary is truly an exceptional cat sitter, and we could not recommend her more highly! She took such thoughtful, careful care of our cats and genuinely treated them like they were her own. Our older cat can be especially challenging about taking his medication, and she went above and beyond to make sure he was cared for even when he was absolutely refusing to cooperate and not being very nice about it. It was obvious from every update that she was paying close attention to both cats and really cared about how they were doing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and felt like they had been in the best possible hands.

Mary took such good care of my needy girl! When I got home, my cat was in a great mood, which a sharp departure from how she usually feels when I return from time away. A glowing review from Ms. Mila herself!

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.

  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.

Minneapolis cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
