Hi, I’m Maria, I am a loving owner of my sally cat for 3 years now and had grown up with multiple cats in the house.
I currently work from home so am very flexible on days and times to come visit and spend time with your kitty. Being a cat owner myself I understand the stress of leaving your cat home alone and I aim to leave you feeling relaxed and at ease while you are away knowing your furr baby is in good hands!
I am the designated friend to cat sit for my friend’s kitties since I love being around them and am reliable. From this and with growing up with multiple cats I am used to all kinds of routines and cat personalities. I’ve even watched the Netflix documentary about cats!
I will provide lots of love and playtime with your cat while you are gone.

Maria is amazing! She has watched my 2 cats two times now; the pictures and videos she sends daily gives me such peace of mind while I am away. One of my cats is very wary of strangers, but he warmed up to Maria so fast. Very grateful!

Maria was excellent with our usually persnickety and shy senior cat! Our cat warmed right up to her right away, and Maria gave us regular updates that assured us she was in excellent hands!

Maria was the perfect person to watch over my two cats. She was communicative the entire time I was away, providing pictures/videos, and reassuring me of their wellbeing. Would highly recommend her services, and I hope to have her watch over them again!

I was initially nervous about leaving my kittens for the first time, but Maria exceeded my expectations! She provided regular updates with photos every time she checked on them and my kittens seemed to really like her. They were calm and happy when I returned from my trip. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her care for Chanty and Enoki 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.
Dallas 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!

This was my first time using Maria, and she was great! My cat Sadie is very shy, and I was happy that she was out and about when Maria came to visit her. I look forward to having her watch Sadie the next time I go out of town.
