Learn More About Mary

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

I have had a cat since I was 9 years old and have been a cat sitter for the past five years.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a kitten named Enid! She is my sunshine and my baby! I have so much fun with her.

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

Being careful when opening the door, following the instructions about their care with precision, and being a calm and assuring presence has helped me to create safe and secure experiences for the cats I visit.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am, as I usually spend holidays at home in New York. I would be happy to take care of your baby during a holiday!

Mary was amazing! She was so kind to my cat. I don’t ever leave him alone so was a little bit nervous, but I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and friendly sitter. The photos and videos were so sweet and she was completely reliable. Would book again in a heartbeat!

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 $30.00. 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!
