I'm Mary | Cat Sitting in Great Falls, VA

Hi, I'm Mary! I've grown up around animals my whole life. Ever since I was born my family had at least one if not two dogs and cats. Ever since then I've been an animal lover adopting rescues, saving abandoned cats and horses, or snuggling with my dogs. Growing up on a farm means that I've seen it all! Currently, I am a contractor with two rescue c...

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is the opportunity to bond with cats and provide pet parents with peace of mind. Building a connection with each cat, getting to know their unique personalities, and earning their trust is incredibly rewarding. Whether it's through playtime, cuddles, or simply being present, the bond formed during cat sitting is special and fulfilling. Additionally, knowing that I'm helping pet parents feel secure knowing their furry friends are well cared for while they're away brings me great satisfaction. Being able to provide love, attention, and a sense of security to both the cats and their owners is truly gratifying and makes cat sitting a joyous experience for me.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats myself named Grace (9 yr old female tabby cat) and Chip (2 yr old male black cat). That are polar opposites and behave like siblings. But secretly love each other and hate being separated for any reason.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When beginning work with a new cat parent, I initiate an initial consultation to understand their cat's needs and routines. This involves discussing feeding schedules, medical history, and any specific care instructions. I meticulously document all relevant information and clarify my services and rates upfront. Building trust is paramount, so I prioritize clear communication and professionalism. Throughout the cat sitting period, I provide regular updates to the owner, ensuring peace of mind. I follow up after the consultation to address any lingering concerns and confirm details. By adhering to this process, I aim to establish a positive working relationship built on reliability, care, and mutual understanding.

Mary was very responsive throughout the process. we were glad to have a chance to meet with her ahead of time and with her attention to our cat's needs. she even went the extra mile by reading aloud in an attempt to lure out our seriously shy kitty. alas, the strategy did not work, but it well reflects her great care and understanding of kitties.

Mary was able to look after my cats on very short notice and did everything perfectly. the cats seemed to really like her and my shy cat even wanted playtime and pets from her. I would definitely ask Mary to help again in future.

Mary did a good job at being patient with both my cat and me for our first meet and greet and our first visits. My cat became used to his first Meowtel cat sitter that we used for a year before she moved out of our area, so I knew Mary had an uphill battle ahead earning his trust and learning all of our particular preferences! She was flexible with her approach and adjusted based on Henry’s (the cat’s) feedback. Every cat parent and every cat is unique, so it’s important to have a flexible and knowledgeable cat sitter. Mary can read cat body language and responded well to my comments about my preferred ways to feed my cat treats and how to speak to my cat (or when to give him space). She recognized, for example, when my cat wanted to sniff the water bottle he was getting his water from, even though I forgot to tell her he likes that. I love that Mary’s schedule is so flexible, I think some visits I might end up asking her to come 3x a day, just because she can!

Mary was great with our 4 cats while we were away. Visit timing on the first day could have been a little better, but overall happy with our experience and we’d book Mary again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Great Falls cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
