Learn More About Maria

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is being someone families can trust while they’re away. I know how deeply loved cats are, they’re not just pets, they’re truly part of the family. It means a lot to me to be able to step in and provide not just care, but comfort and consistency, so both the cat and their people feel at ease. I also love being around cats, and getting to know their different personalities.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats myself, their names are Stormi and Kira. They were both adopted from my local shelter, and it has been such a joy to see how they have developed their personalities over the last five years, and to know that they are in a safe and loving home.

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

Safety and security are always my top priorities when cat sitting. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, from feeding and medication routines to door locks, alarm systems, and litter box placement. I double check that all windows and doors are secure before I leave, and I never invite anyone into the home. For the cats, I make sure they’re in a safe, cat proofed environment: no access to anything that could harm them, like open cabinets, cords, or plants. I also keep a close eye on their behavior to spot anything unusual. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe and your home is just as you left it.

Maria is truly exceptional. She cared for my sick cat with such kindness, skill, and attention that I could fully relax while I was away. Her calm, reassuring presence made a stressful situation so much easier, and her experience with cats and giving medication was invaluable. Beyond that, she has a natural warmth and professionalism from years of customer service work, and she treats every task with genuine care. I can’t recommend her highly enough, your pets will be in the best hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
