Learn More About Mariah

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

I’ve been pet sitting on the side since moving to Asheville in 2021. I used to work at an animal hospital, and met clients that way. Since I no longer work in Weaverville, where many of those clients live, I want to rebuild a clientele closer to where I live now, in west Asheville.

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

Ask if they have pets at home, and if they use parasite prevention. Preventing spread of parasites and contagious diseases is something to take seriously.

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

Go slowly and gently. Positive reinforcement with rewards. If handling is required, a blanket or towel is useful to make a “purrito.”

Mariah is the first person I’ve ever had watch my cats who I didn’t know and they didn’t know. she went far beyond my expectations and was so consistent in communication and even my shyest kitty was snuggling with her say one! I felt completely relaxed knowing they were being taken care of by her.

Mariah has always gone above and beyond caring for my cats. As a veterinary technician, I have several special need pets and she has taken great care of them. Monitoring their specific issues, giving medication, and taking time to bond with them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arden cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. 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.
