I'm Marina | Cat Sitting in Union City, NJ
Hi there! My name is Marina and I am a scientist and educator for a non-profit in NYC. I’m a part of the queer community so always especially happy to receive bookings from queer folks :) I’ve been a cat lover since I can remember, and dedicate most of my free time to my fur babies, Martin & Juni, and Purrfect Catpanion - a cat rescue organization that works to rescue, vet & adopt out kitties in Hudson County. I have volunteered at cat rescues for over 10 years and have, as a result, become quite comfortable working with all types of kitties- from ferals to friendlies - babies to oldies - administering medicine and managing complicated kitty relationships, among other things! My oldest cat, Martin, is 7 years old and has recently developed some urinary/bladder issues which can be life threatening. As a result, I have become a very observant cat mo...

Marina's Reviews
Gwen
Marina and Sean (also a Meowtel-verified cat-sitter, profile name "The Cat Manny") partnered in taking care of our 2 kitties while we were gone for 1 week. Words can't express the level of calm and peace they gave me as they were dependable, reliable, timely, and lovingly playful with our 2 girls. I left Marina and Sean written instructions for what to do during their twice per day visits, they followed the instructions perfectly and sent me videos of playtime as well as commentary on the girls' demeanor, eating and litter habits. My guilt of leaving my girls alone for so long was alleviated daily and I returned to things being tidy and my girls seemingly calm and well-adjusted. Thank you so much Sean and Marina. I highly recommend this dynamic duo.

Dawne
Marina was great with my senior cat, who needs special care and attention. She listened and asked thoughtful questions and it was great to feel like Olive was in good hands.

Marina was so kind and patient with Essex. We appreciated pictures and videos of playtime - it really gave us peace of mind. Looking forward to booking with Marina again in the future!

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Union City cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
