I'm Mara | Cat Sitting in North Charleston, SC

I moved to Charleston two years ago and love it. I am a former teacher and I was hoping to make some extra money and meet some animals doing it. I travel occasionally and know just how much I worry and want proper care for my pets. I feel that there are not enough people who do what is needed to care for our fur babies, so I decided to be that person. I grew up around animals. I have had, cats, dogs, horses, raccoons, opossums, lizards, snakes, and even an alligator for a short time. It is an interesting story, you can ask about. The cat distribution center found me at 2 years old. My mom said he refused to leave my side and followed me everywhere. He was a pretty siamese, that I called Sylvester. I have had at least one cat ever since. They always seem to find me, or I t...

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.

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 $29.00. 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.
