Learn More About Maria
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I currently have 2 cats, Ren-Ren and Loquito, and they are very different! Ren loves to lounge all day whereas Loquito loves to play. Loquito was not socialized as a kitten, so he did not let me touch him at first, but now he loves to snuggle.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Definitely follow through with an in person meet and greet so you have a chance to see for yourself how your sitter interacts with your feline friend.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love the mouse on a stick toy because it engages a cat's hunting instinct and is versatile. You can get energetic cats to run and leap whereas more laid back cats also enjoy swatting at it or gnawing on it.

Maria was very thoughtful, caring, and attentive with taking care of Milo! She came to my apartment to get to know him first to make sure he was comfortable with her, and was very diligent with sharing updates and pictures + videos. Would definitely have Maria take care of Milo again next time I’m away!

Maria was incredible with my cats! She sent detailed updates and lots of photos/videos which put me at ease knowing they were in such great care. I could tell my cats loved her and enjoyed her company - my oldest seemed to spend the visits laying on her (lol) and even my shyer cat came out to see her for pets every visit. Will absolutely trust Maria to care for my kitties again in the future and can’t recommend her enough!

Our cat can be skittish around strangers but he warmed up to Maria quickly. Her updates, photos included, were fantastic, putting us completely at ease while away. We will not hesitate to have Maria look after our boy in the future.

Maria was fantastic with our girls! One of them is very shy and rarely makes an appearance, but she came out on the 2nd day to say hi. Always awesome to see. Everything was perfectly clean and the girls were happy and relaxed when we got home, a great sign that they were really comfortable with Maria. The daily update texts and pictures were wonderful too. We will definitely book again and highly recommend Maria!

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.
New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!

Maria was great! She sent photos of my kitties everyday, along with a text going over everything she did and how the kitties were doing. I can tell that they felt safe and comfortable with her. She followed all the instructions. I can tell that my two seniors felt safe and comfortable with her. Many thanks again!

Another best experience with her. Had 3 weeks international trip, and thanks to Maria’s commitment and kindness I was able to have a long trip with peace in mind. She amazingly took care of my cats and they loved her so much even one of them usually not really open to others. Really appreciate Maria❤️❤️

Maria is a kind, reliable, and truly caring person. She has a natural way with animals and treats every cat as if it were her own. Whether it’s administering medication, handling a shy or sensitive cat, or just providing lots of love and attention, Maria goes above and beyond. Anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their pet!
