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...

Learn More About Mary

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 an amazing cat sitter from start to finish! She was so communicative and attentive with our Bean and sent the cutest photos and videos. We came home to a very happy and healthy kitty! I felt very safe knowing that Mary was coming by to check in on Bean every day, especially because of the loving and detailed reports she would send. I definitely recommend booking with Mary - we will be calling her for our cat sitting needs in the future!

Mary was amazing. she was attentive to the instructions we left, sent amazing updates, and took good care of our house, too (including letting us know windows were secure when a storm was due). She charmed our sometimes-difficult kitty. We would ask Mary to sit for us again in a heartbeat!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
