What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been catsitting here and there for friends and family for as long as I can remember, but am just now making it an official gig.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Honestly I just really love cats. Cuddly cats, noisy cats, spicy cats, playful cats. They are all amazing and deserve to be well-cared for.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a cat names Jameson. He is now 15 and has been with me since he was a tiny kitten found outside a bar.

Very professional and friendly! Had play time with my cat and even took in a package for me. My cat was very calm and happy when I got home from my trip.

Marissa was excellent! She was very reliable and communicative. I received many pictures of my cats, and always felt like I knew what was going on. It was my first time leaving my babies alone for a weekend, but I felt reassured knowing they were in great hands! Would love to have Marissa care for them again 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.
Cleveland cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!

Marissa is a cat lover extraordinaire! She has owned cats her whole life and has a ton of experience taking care of many types of cats. For example, when I needed a cat sitter for my diabetic cat, I chose her to make sure he was eating properly and getting multiple doses of medication every day. She was fantastic and gave me updates every day. Cats gravitate toward her, and owners like me trust her with our fur babies. Marissa is a wonderful choice if you need someone to take care of your cats!

Marissa is everything you could want in a cat sitter - communicative, respectful, follows directions to the tee, and most of all adores cats. She has experience with cats with medical challenges, angry kitties, shy cats, or cats just being cats. My cat adored Marissa and we can't say enough wonderful things about her. She's the best!
