Learn More About Marcia

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

I have many years of experience with adult cats and kittens, having fostered since 2020. I simply love all cats and am very good with them.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to meet all the different personalities is wonderful. All cats have such distinct personalities, and their differences always fascinate me. Cats are so funny, and I find it easy to read their level of comfort! It brings me joy to make them happy.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite reservation would be close to where I am located. Besides that, I'm not sure I have a favorite. I would love to come and spend some time playing with your kitty.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 cats. Miracle is the senior one, and the 2 kittens are Luna and Kuro.

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

I recommend booking 20 minutes for one cat and 45 minutes for two cats/two litter boxes or more. This way, I can ensure all litter boxes are clean and have enough time to play with all cats in the house. I can also water your plants if you need.

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

There will be lots of communication and setup. I will work with you so you can rest assured that your cats are well taken care of. I will take no offense to any question. You are not supposed to trust my word; I will provide evidence for anything you ask.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available on holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Wands! I have yet to meet a cat that doesn't enjoy chasing a wand toy.

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

I will try to reach them with a treat (if the owner permits). If that doesn't work, I will feed them, make sure the water fountain is clean, and give them time. I have dealt with difficult cats before, and for that, I just sit on the floor with them until they warm up to me.

Marcia was excellent with my cat Marge and taking care of her while I was away. She also took detailed notes when she came over to meet Marge and go over everything. Marge was comfortable around Marcia right away and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.

Marcia was absolutely wonderful. From the first contact, it was clear that she was incredibly dedicated and detail-oriented. She took notes on all requests, from schedules to care preferences, which provided instant peace of mind. Marcia provided exceptional care for Luka while we were away. Regular updates were provided, including wonderfully taken photos. This helped the us feel connected and know Luka was happy and comfortable in her care. This was a clear testament to the love and attention received. Marcia went above and beyond to help us water the plants and collect mails. we appreciate all her help and accommodation. We could not have asked for a better cat sitter!

Marcia was an amazing kitty sitter! She was so caring for my two old ladies! My two kitties eat a special diet, and Marcia rolled with it seemlessly. Finally, there was an issue with the key I left her, and she handled it with incredible professionalism. I don't like leaving my little old ladies home, but I felt so much better with Marcia watching them!

Marcia was responsive and gave me comfort to know my cat was being cared for. She was also willing to adjust to potential changes due to my possible flight delays/cancellation (thankfully it didn't happen).

Marcia was an excellent caretaker for our two cats. She provided daily updates and photos, was very considerate of the cats’ needs, and was able to establish a rapport with our shy cat who usually takes much longer to warm up with others. Marcia is friendly, professional, and her visits were prompt. I would be thrilled to use her services again and I highly recommend her to anyone considering it.

I am so glad to have Marcia come and look after my boy when he is away. She lets me know when she’s there and sends me pictures to put my mind at ease. Marcia was so understanding when my travel plans changed and I feel I’m leaving my Baby in good hands.

Marcia is calm, gentle with difficult cats and always on time for appointments. She is very communicative and will always directly tell you what your cats need.

Marcia has been a crucial cat socializer in our organization. She has such incredible patience and really works diligently to make a difference in the most difficult of cats I have asked her to foster. She diligently listened to suggestions and instructions on giving meds and working on behavioral issues with countless cats she fostered for us over the years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oakland Gardens cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
