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 is a fantastic cat sitter, very attentive and always sends fun videos to reassure you that your pet is in good hands! I’ve worked with her twice now and will absolutely do so again. If you need your pets taken care of then look no further!

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!

Marlena is wonderful! My babies warmed up to her quickly, even my skitty little girl. The pics and vids are great. Marlena also came around the same time daily which was also very helpful since my baby boy is on daily meds. Thank you Marlena!!! You are Awesome!

We have booked Marlena twice now and she has been timely in her responses, has communicated well, and did a meet and greet with us prior to our first visit. She is wonderful with our cat and I trust her to take care of him in our absence. We have always utilized family in the past. Our cat walks toward her, “talking”, when she visits. She plays with him on the floor and it looks like he is so content. We are happy to have found Marlena.

I am so thankful I booked Marlena for my baby girl! She took great care of my senior girl. She did exactly everything that was asked of her. She keep me updated constantly to ease my mind which most sitters don't. She is a true cat lover and my girl loves her! She's the best!

Marlena was great! We had a meet and greet before, and I felt very comfortable that she’d care well for my cats. She was happy to give one a pill and to look after 2 fosters in addition to my 3 cats. She sent updates every day which made my day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mckinney cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
