All cats, or as I like to call them “purr babies,” are angels on Earth! 😇 My name is Mary, and I’ve enjoyed the companionship and unconditional love of kittens and cats from a young age and am now in my midlife years. 😸

Sometimes I adopted them, and sometimes they adopted me (you probably know how that goes). I’ve rescued abandoned cats, adopted shelter cats, fostered cats, and even bottle-fed newborn kittens. Being a Meowtel cat sitter (for 3+ years) allows me to make even more kitty connections. Prepare for your purr baby/babies to be pampered! 😻

If you’re going out of town and need someone experienced and dependable to care for your cats’ needs, please see my competitive rates! Your purr baby/babies will get to stay in the comfort of their own home and have an attentive visitor (that’s me!) serve them fresh food/treats, provide fresh water, scoop the litter box(es), pet and play with them, and send pictures/videos to you (their guardian) so you can see how they’re doing. 😸 If your kitty/kitties takes oral or topical medication or vitamins, I can handle that, too, and I can even confidently give insulin injections. 💊💉

If your kitty doesn’t seem to want to interact with me, be petted, or play, that’s completely fine! 🌈 I understand purr babies may behave differently around people they’re not used to, so I’ll let them be and remain a gentle presence as I’m there tending to their daily needs. 🌟

Once you make your initial reservation booking with me, I’ll message you to schedule a free 30-minute Meet & Greet. ⏰ During this visit to your home, I’ll get to meet you and your purr baby/babies and learn the details of what I need to know to ensure a successful experience for all. 😺 This visit will let your kitty/kitties be introduced to me in a low-stress way, and they’ll notice you interacting with me. At our Meet & Greet, I’ll need to borrow a copy of your house key 🔑 or a keyless entry code (and security alarm code, if applicable) to use while I’m cat-sitting for you. Some of my clients prefer to keep their key in a secure lockbox and give me the code to access the key during my visit. And I’ll be sure to ask how you’d like me to return your key once I’ve completed all my visits with your cat(s). 🪴

You can have peace of mind that I’m insured through Meowtel, and the company has ensured I have a clean background check. And rest assured, I’ll never bring anyone else into your home. 🙅🏻‍♀️ During my cat-sitting visits, I usually wear my own vinyl gloves 🧤to feed cats and scoop litter boxes. I’ll deposit a tightly tied bag containing any empty cat-food containers and the litter-box waste 💩 wherever you specify inside or outside your home. If you leave a cleaning spray, paper towels, and a broom with dustpan (or a small vacuum) out for me, I’ll even tidy up the feeding and litter areas. 🧹 I’m also happy to take in your mail or packages and turn certain lights on/off, if requested. 🙌🏼

After each visit, I’ll send you a brief written update along with pictures or videos of your cat(s) via the Meowtel messages feature, or I’ll send them directly to your phone, if you prefer. 🌠

Besides serving cats, I work from home as a freelance editor. I have meticulous attention to detail and am responsible with no criminal record. I don’t drink, smoke, or use illegal substances. 😎

In my free time, I like to make up silly songs to entertain my purr babies, try new vegan recipes, listen to podcasts and audiobooks, read most anything I can get my hands on, and “visit” my favorite kitties on Instagram. 💖

As a native of San Antonio, I’m ready to serve your purr baby/babies if you live in one of the following general areas:
Alamo Farmsteads, Alamo Heights, Alta Vista, Balcones Heights, Beacon Hill, Boerne, Camp Bullis, Castle Hills, Churchill Estates, Cielo Vista, College Park, Cross Mountain, Crown Ridge, Country Estates, Dellview, Deerfield, The Dominion, Edison, Elm Creek, Fair Oaks Ranch, Fiesta Texas, Forest Creek, Grey Forest, Harmony Hills, Helotes, Hunter’s Chase, Inwood, Jefferson, La Cantera, Legend Hills, Leon Springs, Leon Springs, Leon Valley, Los Angeles Heights, Maverick Creek, Medical Center, Midtown, Mission Trace, Monte Vista, Monticello Park, North Central, Northwest, Oak Hills, Oak Meadow, Oakland Estates, Olmos Park, Pearl, The Quarry, The Rim, River Rock Ranch, Rogers Ranch, Scenic Oaks, Shavano Park, Sonoma Ranch, Steeplebrook, Stone Oak, Stonewall Ranch, Terrell Hills, Tobin Hill, UTSA, Woodlawn, and more.

Whether you have a silly kitten, a senior feline, a cat who needs medication, a shy guy or gal, a bossy lady or lad, a feisty feline, a cuddly kitty, a sneaky door-dasher, a kitty with special needs, or many cats, I promise to gently and lovingly care for your precious purr baby/babies while you’re away. I hope we can work together soon!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I’m usually in town during the holidays, but my cat-sitting calendar does tend to fill up quickly during peak demand times. I recommend booking your reservation with me as soon as you have firm travel plans. I’ve even had clients book me several months in advance.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite is the toy your kitty enjoys playing with most! For some purr babies, it’s a wand toy with a long snaky string or chirpy mouse; for others, it’s a laser pointer with a red dot light. One of my cats loves to play independently with his interactive ball chase track toy.

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

I take my time, respect your kitty’s boundaries, and speak softly. This means I won’t make any sudden or noisy movements or try to force anything with your cat. I usually get down on their level (i.e., sit on the floor) and offer my hand so it can be sniffed. I’ll also set a few treats down, if available. I may use a playlist on my phone that plays calming music designed specifically for cats. I’ve had much success with earning the trust of shy/timid/anxious purr babies using these techniques.

We were so pleased that Mary was available to care for our dear ones recently when we went on a weeklong vacation. Before we left for our trip, she asked many questions to ascertain our care regimen and meticulously followed them over the course of our trip. Each day she sent us an in-depth report on how our cats were doing and included photos of them, their water, food, and litter boxes confirming her attention to detail. We also have been feeding an outdoor cat who lost her owner and Mary made sure to watch out for her too. Mary showed a very conscientious approach with our cats and always sought our feedback. We appreciate the time and care she took to interact with our cats during her visits. We highly recommend Mary!

I cannot recommend Mary highly enough. She has been a wonderful cat sitter for me, but during her most recent visit she went so far above and beyond what anyone could ever expect. When she arrived, she discovered that my house had been broken into. Not only did she make sure my cat was safe and calm, but she immediately called the police, stayed on-site, and even helped me navigate the whole process from afar. Mary didn’t stop there—she continued to check in on both my cat and me, offering the kind of care and support that even a close family member might not have thought to give. Her professionalism, quick thinking, and genuine compassion turned what could have been a nightmare into something manageable. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly exceptional, Mary is the one. She is not just a pet sitter—she is someone I’ll be forever grateful for.

Mary was such a great cat caregiver. From the moment I met her at our meet and greet, I felt at ease and comfortable about leaving my cats in her care. Her visit reports were thorough and she sent numerous photos and videos of her visits and my babies. I was extremely pleased with the service she provided. Will definitely use her again!

Hello everyone! Mary went beyond meeting my expectations. My cat was just out of surgery. She kept up with the medications, telling me how he was doing. The videos and pictures were the best. So happy I have found Mary. She is the best ❤️

Mary made every effort to ensure my kitties were safe and cared for. She also tried her best to reassure my extremely shy cats. I looked forward to the pictures she sent each evening along with her review of everything she did during her morning visit. It's wonderful to be able to travel and know your fur babies are okay!

Mary was the best cat sitter for my eight kitties. She kept me informed about who came to greet her and sent me pictures of them. Mary also sent pictures of their water fountain and food bowl status. She is meticulous about her job and enjoyed paying attention to my babies. Mary is very trustworthy. I had no issues with her being in my house and taking care of business. I will definitely ask Mary to help me in the future! I am impressed with Meowtel and their attention to detail about my kitties and plan of action if one of the babies become sick. In my opinion, this is the best site for cat sitting.

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.

San Antonio cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
