Cats are my first love and an asset to my very rewarding life! I am happily married with three cats, all adopted! (One from a shelter, one stray, and one feral). Their names are Sammy Keane Clemens, Nicholas Gray, and Happy Lightfoot Ferrell.

I love cats so much, I have a cat tattoo on my arm. They are my favorite animal of all. I am cat-obsessed! They are beautiful, mystical, funny, loving creatures.

I'll be happy to spoil your cats, too, while you are away.

I am friendly, trustworthy, dependable, and fully vaccinated.

NOTE - No aggressive cats that hiss, bite, scratch, or attack. (Love bites are ok).

Learn More About Maryanne

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

I've been with Meowtel since autumn 2022 and have many repeat clients. I've sat with all breeds of cats including Sphynx, Siberian, and Bengal. I've sat with kittens, elderly, playful, and shy. I love them all the same -- as if they were my own.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love having repeat clients and learning the cat's individual purr-sonalities!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

It's always adorable if there are three cats and all three are vying for my attention. This has happened more than once. Or if a cat gets attached to me quickly and follows me everywhere. I bonded with a very special Bengal who stole my heart. She was constantly at my side.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have three cats -- Sammy, Nicholas, and Happy. They are all boys and all rescues.

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

1. Please try to give us at least a week's notice in advance. 2. Please make sure you have plenty of extra towels in case of an accident. 3. Let us know if your cat is aggressive. (Scratches, hisses, bites).

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like set up a Meet and Greet. Go over anything there is to know about the kitty and get acquainted. I let my new clients know there will be plenty of updates and photos. This is the time to also learn where everything is - food, litter boxes, favorite toys, etc. And vet info -- just in case. The client will also give me the keys or door code.

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

I always double check that the doors are securely locked. I'll send photos every day to let my client know everything is okay. I make sure the cats are not near the door when I'm exiting.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. I am not available July 4, Halloween, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love the fish on a wand toys so the cats could jump. That's the cutest thing.

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

I talk softly to them to let them know they are loved. Of all the cats I've sat for, I've only come across two that were shy and hid.

I had a wonderful experience with Maryanne! She was kind, punctual, and clearly loved spending time with my cats. She kept me updated with photos and messages when she dropped by, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Both of my cats were relaxed and happy when I returned — a clear sign they were well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

This was our second time booking Maryanne, and once again she was amazing. She took such gentle, thoughtful care of our cats and kept us updated with photos and messages every visit. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing the cats were in loving and reliable hands. Our cats clearly feel comfortable with her, and so do we. We will definitely book her again!

Maryanne was exactly what we’d been looking for. At our meet-and-greet she was so focused on learning about Shadow and her habits, so that the daily routine wouldn’t change. The daily pictures that Maryanne sent assured us that all was well and our cat was happy under her care. She really connected with Shadow. I would highly recommend Maryanne to anyone looking for a caring, cat-loving, cat-sitter🤗

Maryanne was a phenomenal caretaker for our Ella! Ella was new to our family and still adjusting to being in the house. But Maryanne was able to create a special bond with her that allowed her to feel safe and comfortable while we were away while also providing me with tons of updates, photos, and reassurances. I can’t recommend her enough! Working with her was such a positive experience during this adjustment period for our family!

Maryanne took such a wonderful care of our cats Buddy and Prince Chunk. This is the first time we’d left them since we adopted Chunk but we had nothing to worry about with Maryanne! a true cat lover she bonded quickly with our two boys and was flexible to their various needs and preferences. The daily photos and videos provided thoughtful updates and reassured us they were in great hands. Maryanne was warm, kind and a great cat sitter! We appreciate her and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Maryanne is the cat sitter you want your babies with, especially if they need a little extra attention. She made sure our anxious penny felt comfortable and safe while we were away. We also have 2 other cats so 3 in total and Maryanne gave each of them their own time, attention and cuddles 💕.

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.

Kenilworth cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
