I'm Maria
Cat Sitting in Monroe, WA
From the neighborhood strays we befriended, to the ones we made members of the family, the furry friends we call cats are a lifelong passion of mine.
I've spent time caring for and getting to know cats of all shapes, sizes, personalities and abilities. I've participated in fostering strays, short term boardings, and re-homes alike. I've provided TNR to local feral strays as well as providing long term care-taking for a feral stray in my own back yard. I love her so much.
My approach to cat sitting is to speak the kittie's language... Hello! My name is Maria, and I'm a proud cat lady for life! I'm a cat parent to two beautiful boys, and have spent my entire life around cats. The day I met my grandmother's orange cat Garfield, I was in love!

My approach to cat sitting is to speak the kittie's language. While all cats will have their own distinct personalities, most cats require patients, calmness, and confidence going into any unknown situation. Thats what I can bring to your home and to your furry family members. Cats all have their own ways of telling you how they'd like to be interacted with and I will love discovering how to connect with your cats and make them feel at ease, and if they want, loved!
Your home and your cat's home is also a unique and precious thing. I've worked in a couple different customer service careers and love building genuine, professional relationships with those in my care. It is my utmost goal to treat your house, your pets, and your space with respect and attention to detail.
If you chose me as your sitter, I am committed to bringing a caring, hard working, and professional attitude to you, your furry family, and your home. I look forward to meeting and meowing with you!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting and short boarding cats for friends and family off and on for about 10 years. However I am brand new to the Meowtel platform.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two wonderful boy cats! Oatmeal is a 14 year old blonde orange, and Duncan is a 4 year old gray tuxie!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Patience and body language is key. It will definitely take time to earn their trust, but my first goal is ensuring their safety and comfort.

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.
Monroe cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
