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.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, since my family is local I do not travel for holidays and am therefore usually available.

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

Patience. When dealing with timid or anxious cats, patience is key. I take a gentle and slow approach, allowing the cat to gradually become comfortable with me. I avoid sudden movements or loud noises that could startle them further. Instead, I give them space and let them approach me on their own terms. Using soft, reassuring tones, I speak to them calmly and offer treats or toys as a form of positive reinforcement. It's important to respect their boundaries and not force interaction if they're not ready. I provide a quiet and secure environment where they can feel safe and gradually build trust over time. Understanding that each cat has its own unique personality and needs, I adjust my approach accordingly, always prioritizing their comfort and well-being.

Mary was wonderful to work with, very detail-oriented and super flexible with the scheduling. Our senior cat was very well taken care of while we were away. We highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again.

Mollie watched our two cats while we were away and provided great care! We received up to date messages and plenty pictures to ensure the cats were getting attention. Their personalities were displayed and it shows they were comfortable and happy to see her! I appreciate how engaged Mollie was during the entire process. She gave great feedback on how medications and breathing treatments went and it gave me great comfort knowing our boy got what he needed to thrive! Our shy girl came out for pets and attention. I highly recommend her!

Mary was excellent with Henry the cat and with me as the anxious-about-leaving-Henry- human. Henry can be standoffish with anyone new or anyone that’s not me and Mary was super respectful of his space and earned his trust by giving him his private space while also maintaining his routine. She used all the phrases he’s used to hearing, she gave him treats at his preferred time and tossed them for him just like I do. She always offered to play with him and even let him stop to drink and was ready to play again when he was ready to go, just like I do. Mary sent me tons of details just like I prefer. Whenever I need to leave for a trip I feel lots better knowing Mary is here for Henry!

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 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 truly such an amazing sitter. the detailed updates daily and the pictures/videos she sent us were exactly what we needed. She provided total peace of mind while we were away from our little guys. She was so easy to work with and the our cats who are pretty shy warmed right up to her. Could not reccomend her enough!

Mary did an amazing job looking after my two cats. She gave them their medications and ensured they ate all their food. She provided me with updates and photos of my cats. She went above and beyond when a fire alarm went off in the building. We weren't getting any information on whether this alarm was real so she took my cats out of the apartment and had then safely secured outside until it was confirmed there was no danger. When I returned, my cats looked great (one of them even gained some weight back after having lost some due to illness). I will definitely book with her again.

Featured Cat Sitters Near Great Falls, VA

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 $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. 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.
