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.

Thank you, Mari, for taking such good care of our kitties while we were away! I loved getting the daily updates, and my kids loved the pics and videos. It made my vacation better knowing they were in such good hands and getting lots of playtime and pets. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love when Mari cares for my three furbabies. She is nothing short of fantastic! She always includes a long, detailed update with pictures/videos of my babies. So thankful for her! Highly recommend!

Great service by Mari again even on late notice. She always goes above and beyond…..even made it out to our house when most of the power was out in King County. She had to take a detour even to get to our place. I greatly appreciate her determination and service!

Mari went to great lengths to befriend our two standoffish cats (it's not you, it's them 🤣). She took great care of them and I appreciated the daily updates and photos. We'd love to book with Mari again on our next vacation!

Mari took great care of our cats while we were away on a two week trip and went above and beyond to make sure our shy cats got attention. We were surprised that both of our cats warmed up to Mari so quickly because they usually shy away from new people. We received detailed descriptions during each visit about how things were going with our cats and even got to see some videos as well! We also really enjoyed Mari’s thoughtful gesture of leaving a printed photo of one of our cats along with a sweet card. Mari also watered our house plants and replaced the water in our hummingbird feeder and was very efficient during her visits to get around to everything. In the future, we will book Mari again since she took excellent care of our cats!

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

Bothell cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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.
