I'm Marlena

Cat Sitting in Mckinney, TX

Hi! My name is Marlena and I’d like to share a little about me so you can feel comfortable that your kitties are enjoying a purrfect staycation at home! 🐾 I absolutely adore kitties - they have been a part of my family my entire life. I am a proud “Cat Mom” and believe a house is not a home without a cat! I have been around cats my entire life. I am completely comfortable around cats and rest assured, yours will get plenty of love and attention, as well as top notch care from me!

Just so you know me a little more, I am a happily married Mom of three. Aside from being a cat lady, I love volunteering for CASA and advocating for abused and neglected children in Collin County...

Just so you know me a little more, I am a happily married Mom of three. Aside from being a cat lady, I love volunteering for CASA and advocating for abused and neglected children in Collin County.

I will be happy to communicate as much as you desire but I do love sending pics and texts if you welcome them! I have a gift of capturing your kitties in photos that every pet parent loves to receive! Every visit includes feeding, water refreshing, litter box changing, and of course, lots of cuddles and attention (if they want it!). My schedule is also fairly flexible to accommodate my clients. Providing top notch care with trust and attention is important to me.

I will be happy to conduct Meet & Greets either in person or via FaceTime if you are comfortable and have keyless entry. We will review care instructions, home logistics and key arrangements. I would love to care for your kitty in the Mckinney, east Frisco and Prosper areas.

Thank you for the opportunity!
Marlena

I have always been anxious about the idea of having a stranger in my home with my precious kitties, but Marlena quickly dispelled my fears when she came for a meet-and-greet. It was clear from the start that she knew what she was doing. She identified that our keypad lock was low on battery just by hearing the sound (we had no idea!) based on her experience with past clients. She also noticed one of my cats lost her collar (needed for the automatic feeder) and found it and put it back on. She was also great about keeping in touch - while we were gone she sent lots of photos and videos. It made me really happy to see that my kitties were getting love and treats in my absence. I will absolutely be booking her again for my next trip!

Marlena was great with communication and letting me know my babies were doing well. They were a little shy and didn’t venture out to greet her, but it gave me great peace of mind to know they were being looked in on while I traveled. I highly recommend Marlena!

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.

Mckinney cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
