I'm Marissa | Cat Sitting in Tacoma, WA
🌲HOLIDAY NOTE 🌲 I get a lot of requests during the holiday season!

Existing appointments not affected. Message me for any questions you may have! Happy holidays. ❤️ Hi, my name is Marissa, thank you for considering me to care for your beloved kitties! A little about me... I was born/raised and live in the Tacoma area and work from home in medical billing. On my days off I enjoy visiting local breweries, nature spots, farmers markets, and shopping for shoes! I have had a special bond with cats ever since I was a child. My first cat was a grey tabby we called Tiger. He was a stray cat that kind of adopted my family and we had an instant bond. He was such a...
Marissa's Reviews
Kelly
Marissa was amazing! I had to go out of town for a family emergency incredibly last minute but it took a huge weight off my shoulders knowing my cat was well cared for with Marissa. I will definitely be using her again when I go out of town!
Sarah
I used Marissa for a 10 day sitting and on my flight home we missed a connecting flight. I got home a day late but Marissa was able to take care of Gracie for one more day. She goes above and beyond for the cats in her care. Gracie was in great shape and less stressed by being boarded. I would definitely use Marissa again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tacoma cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
