Marissa was wonderful to work with. During our Meet & Greet, she asked thoughtful, thorough questions. Throughout the visits, she sent detailed updates with photos, which gave me real peace of mind. Most importantly, it was clear she genuinely cared—she took time and effort to make sure my cat was well cared for. I’d absolutely recommend Marissa!

Marissa is a calm soul that you can just feel has a deep love for cats 😻 We have 4 younger cats that love people and need lots of playtime and she did not disappoint! She was very thorough, respectful of our home and did everything we asked - it was a very pleasant experience and put our mind at ease while we were away 😸🐾

Marissa was great. She came everyday despite the arctic blast and I was confident that kitties would be well cared for. I will definitely use her in the future.

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.

Cincinnati cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
