First time using Meowtel and I booked Marlissa for five days. She was very nice and outgoing. She did a great job watching my cats and they opened up to her fast. She sent a lot of videos and pictures. She sweeped the floor around the litter boxes and washed the kitty dishes for me. Would book again.

Exceptional cat sitter! This was my first time getting a sitter here and Marlissa was everything I was hoping for. She communicated well, kept me updated, administered the medicine for one of my cats. Again she was excellent and would definitely hire her again.

Marlissa is my go-to! As expected, when I moved I was nervous about finding a new kitty sitter to take care of my babies while I'm away for work. I found Marlissa and haven't strayed! She is super communicative and lets me know how my babies are each day. She even goes above and beyond by bringing in my mail and cleaning up the little messes my monsters make. 10/10! Would highly recommend her to anyone!

I have had the pleasure of hiring Marlissa four times now. Her care is prompt and appropriate and, most importantly, my stand-offish and aloof cat seems to like her.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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 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 Meet & Greet!

Marlissa took care of my two kitties while I was out of town. From scheduling to coordination of visit times, she was super easy to work with. One of my cats is diabetic and is not the easiest to deal with as a stranger. Marlissa was incredibly patient and understanding with him and went at his pace. Eventually she was able to give his insulin! Highly recommend her for your sitting need!

I have had Marlissa watch my kitties several times now and she always does an amazing job! She had an emergency this time around and we had to find a backup but because of her excellent communication and how she handled everything I never even had time to be worried! 5 Star Cat Sitter right here!

Marlissa was wonderful and prompt with photo and video updates! She got to know the unique personalities and quirks of our four cats, and she updated us quickly with any cat issues she observed. We were able to enjoy our vacation confident that our cats were cared for, and brought her back souvenirs as a thank you for a job well done!

I could not have asked for a better cat sitter! Marissa was perfect! She kept me up to date with photos, videos, and messages. She really took time to get to know each cat's personality. She made me aware of minor home issues. Even my shy cat adored her (as was evident in the videos)! I hope that she is available the next time I go out of town. She is the best!

Marlissa is a true professional! I’m so impressed how fast my cats took to her. I have two very shy and picky cats. I wasn’t expecting them to come out for her was only expecting food to be set out for them. From the first day my cats were comfortable with her and she went above and beyond with her care and attention to detail. She is amazing and I’m so happy she was available and willing to sit for us. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.

MARLISSA WAS AWESOME!!! Marlissa was able to get Berry super comfortable from day 1. She was very clear with the instruction and communicated thoroughly. She sent me daily updates and was also able to help with topical foam application for Berry! Towards the end she followed thorough instructions for returning my keys! She also has her way to get cats to play and she really can tire them out! <3 100/10 recommend!

Marlissa was fantastic and did a great job watching our cat! He is normally super shy, but warmed right up to her immediately upon meeting her and was very comfortable (animals know best!).

impressed, very good communication!!. she was unable to complete the reservation due to factors out of her control and she kept great communication with me until she knew another sitter was found. the days she completed it is clear she cares for your cat as if it was her own. I felt very assured when I met her that she would take good care of my elderly cat who needs insulin. would definitely book again!

I've never used a pet sitting site or app for my cats before but Marlissa made me totally comfortable and did a great job. She was enthusiastic about taking care of my two adult cats and they really seemed to like her. She kept me up to date with daily updates. I came home to find the cats happy and healthy and everything clean and in order with the house. Would definitely work with her again in the future

Marlissa did a wonderful job with my 2 kitties! One of our cats can be very shy with new people but even he warmed up to her quickly. She’s very prompt with her responses and sent cute pictures and videos. I always miss my babies when I’m away, but knowing they’re in good hands helps so much! I would definitely book her again! 😸

Marissa is the best! She has cared for our cats several time and is always caring and competent. This time we had a difficult assignment for her. We are moving to Costa Rica and had moved two of our cats there leaving the other two for a move the following week. We knew they would be wondering where their friends were and stressed. Marissa took extra care of them. making sure they felt secure and loved. She is the best!

My reservation went very well! I was away for a period of 10 days and I trusted Marlissa with caring for my lovely cat. Marlissa was very professional, kept my apartment clean, and ensured my cat was content for the duration of my leave. Marlissa went the extra mile and sent me pictures/videos of my lovely cat while I was away. Overall, this was a very positive experience and I hope to be able to use her services again in the future! Thanks.

We love using Marlissa! This was the longest time away from my cat (Grey) since working with Marlissa so I was very nervous how Grey would handle being alone that long. Marlissa was excellent with her communication, sending all the photos and updates to help calm my anxiousness. Grey loved getting spoiled yet again! I can’t recommend Marlissa enough.
