Learn More About Mara

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

I have taken care of lots of pets for people over the years. My mother's cats, my friends and other family. I feel special knowing theu trusted me with their loves and often asked me to do it again.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting new cats and just loving them.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats. Vlad is a senior Bengal-Siamese. I inhereted when my mother passed, because I was the only one other than her that he showed affection to. Bast is a small black kitty that I found under a car. She was feral and is now the sweetest thing.

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

I like to ask the kitties routine. Listen to them and let them tell me all the things, the dislikes, the likes, and the desires that the pet itself has. I want to know about feeding routines, nighttime routines, cleaning routines, and all the small details that you find important.

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

Double checking the kitty parent's requests, preferences and the environment. Making sure that the kitties are eating, they haven't injured themselves, and that they are using the litter box appropriately.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I will love to help during the holidays. I understand that traveling to see family can be anxious when we have to leave our fur family at home. Having someone who cares for them as well as you do makes traveling less stressful.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My cats love little cat toys with catnip and plastic balls with bells in them. I have always had them and all my cats love them.

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

Patience. With shy cats treats and patience. You wait for them to come to you.

Mara was absolutely amazing! My shy older kitty warmed up to her fast due to her patience and care that she showed him. She went above and beyond in caring for my home and sent me, an anxious cat parent + vet tech, detailed and thorough updates. I truly can’t recommend her enough, and am so happy to have found someone that I trust wholeheartedly with my kitty.

Mara was wonderful with both my boys. My oldest has health issues so I was especially pleased to see that he got his medication daily and lots of attention. My younger boy still has lots of energy so it was fun seeing all the photos and videos of Mara playing with them. Great job overall!

Mara was absolutely wonderful. The meet and greet went well and all concerns and questions were answered. This was my first time hiring a cat sitter. My cat isn't used to being around people much and will usually run and hide. Mara sent photos and videos during each visit and kept me up-to-date. He cozied right up to her. I had no worries.

Mara was a fantastic cat sitter! I could tell right away during our meet and greet she genuinely loves animals and that made me feel great knowing my cat would be well cared for and loved while I was away. Mara also provided thorough updates, was very responsive and communicative, and was flexible when we had a last-minute schedule change. 10/10!!

We had a fantastic experience with Mara over the Thanksgiving holiday! She took amazing care of our kitties, Ripley and Talula. Mara was incredibly responsive, kept us updated with detailed messages, and sent plenty of adorable photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats and their well being. We’ll definitely be biking with her again! Highly recommend!

Mara is a reliable, trustworthy and caring cat sitter. She did great with my cats and had no problem giving my cat his medication. I received lots of pictures and video updates and cats were happy and well taken care of when I returned. I will definitely rebook

Mara was amazing. I have never left my cats with anybody but family. We were taking an international trip and had moved to SC and don’t have family here and I was freaking out about leaving my Gabby who is an extremely shy girl and afraid of people. When I discovered Meowtel and I found Mara, her face and then her bio sold me and I said to myself and my husband , I can leave Gabby in her care. Mara did not DISAPPOINT!!!!!!! And after a few days she was actually able to pet Gabby. She always sent me pictures and kept me posted on the situation. I will in the future use Mara again. Thanks to her we were able to travel internationally and I never worried.

Mara is amazing! I was overly anxious about leaving my two kitties for ten days but she did such a great job! She communicated with me daily and took pictures. She also went above and beyond by cleaning when my kitties created messes around the house. She swept, vacuumed, and kept our place neat and tidy.

I am so happy that I contacted Mara to kittysit for my Bobo. He is an 8-year-old, high maintenance, special needs cat that needs daily medication and special care. Mara went beyond my expectations and provided *everything* that I requested. I was so grateful that she was available within a day for the meet & greet. Mara sent me tons of photos and videos and kept in touch with me about every aspect of his needs - from feeding to litter box cleanup to his meds, Mara was wonderful in all aspects!! I absolutely would not hesitate to reserve her again. The meet & greet was wonderful. She spent time with my shy fur baby and everything worked out just so wonderfully!

Frequently Asked Questions

North Charleston cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
