I am independently licensed and insured as a pet sitter and certified in pet first aid. I have been taking care of pets for over 30 years and I have 2 loving cats of my own.
I have a very diverse background with cat care including kittens and senior cats. Notably, I have detailed experience with giving pills, ointments, and injections. I can take care of your cat's needs per your specifications; I am diligent when it comes to your pet's safety. Please let me know if your cat has any special needs I should account for so I can make their time as comfortable as possible!
I currently work from home in Metuchen/Edison and am available for drop-in visits. I enjoy stopping in for playtime and feeding. Finding a cat's favorite toy to get out some energy is a great part of the visit, as is just spending time petting their fur and getting them purring! I also enjoy taking candid photos of the pets I watch. I look forward to meeting you and your cat soon!
Learn More About Mary
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been a pet sitter since I was a teenager, so over 25 years. I professionally focused on it in the past 10 years, especially post-Covid as many new pet parents emerged as they returned back to work. I have independent sitter insurance as well as certification in pet first aid. I am always looking to further my pet education! I have worked on other pet platforms for a few years as well, but Meowtel is specifically focused on cats, which I love!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a senior cat named Pikachu who is 18. He is a sweetheart that likes to get in your face for cuddles. His brother Peekaboo, went to the rainbow bridge early last year after a long, happy life with us. He was my spirit animal and loved so dearly. We recently rescued a 1 year old cat named Buddy, that we have been taking care of in the neighborhood and are excited to provide him a forever home!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My typical process with new clients is to meet with them in advance whether in person or video chat so we can go over their needs and those of their pet. I like to review the cat's care including feeding and litter, any medications, favorite toys or activities like brushing, and any aversions that I should be aware of. I like to see the temperament of their cat while the owner is around and see how the cat reacts while I am there or how I should approach the sitting. I also go over all specifics with the owner for access to residence and any other things they need to be taken care of while they are gone. I review emergency contact info and I answer any questions they may have and then we can proceed with the booking.

Edison 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!
