I'm Mari | Cat Sitting in Bothell, WA

Hi! I’m Mari, an animal lover and devoted cat enthusiast. I’ve had cats all my life and wouldn’t have it any other way! I thrive on discovering the unique personalities of new kitties and getting to know their quirks. I’ve even been told that cats gravitate to me and that they reveal their cuddly and friendly side in my presence. I’m CPR and first aid certified for cats and dogs. When I began pet sitting on Meowtel, I completed a continuing education course, at WCC in Bellingham, called PetSaver. Now I feel much more confident caring for your cats and knowing when (and how) I can help them with an emergency and when they need to go to the vet. I’d recommend this course to all pet owners - you will learn so much! I have been a volunteer at Seattle Humane, caring for cats that were waiting on thei...

Learn More About Mari

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know the quirks of each unique cat and discovering what makes them purr! Capturing creative photos of your kitties is very rewarding. It’s so fun to try to capture their personality in a single frame.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, and we've shared life together for more than 10 years! Kuya is my orange and white tuxedo tabby boy, and I have a gray, black and orange tortoiseshell girl, Boomer (she’s been going by Boomsie these days). I adopted them in 2013, when they were only 8 weeks, from the Humane Society in Bellingham, WA.

Mari is amazing! We had her care for our two kitties while we were out of the country. Immediately after meeting her, I knew that they were in good hands. Mari showed that she is knowledgeable and detail oriented during our meeting. She gave us daily updates, photos, and videos, and was very responsive every time I contacted her. We are so thankful for the wonderful care Mari provided our kitties and will absolutely be hiring her for future trips!

Mari took such great care of my 2 kitties. From the moment she introduced herself to them, I knew they liked her. I loved the daily videos and detailed notes on eating and behavior. They made me feel so much more relaxed on my trip so I could enjoy my time with family instead of worrying. She went above my expectations by also keeping an eye on my plants. The cherry on top was the very sweet card and two printed photos of my babies to welcome me home. I will definitely be planning more trips now and Mari will be my first pick for sitter.

Our cats warmed to Mari right away and I appreciated not having to worry while out of town. Cute pictures and videos are a nice touch!

The reservation was very easy. The website is set up well, in that it allows for a quick, but thorough overview of the Sitter as far as availability, distances they will cover, services they will provide, as well as a brief Bio of the Sitter in regard to their experiences in pet care. I would, and will, recommend Meowtel to friends and family that may need Pet Sitter services in the future. I also highly recommend my Cat Sitter, Mari, who did a excellent job of caring for my Fur Baby ☺️

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
