This is the second time Marilyn has taken care of my cats and I have already booked her for another visit. She takes excellent care to make sure they are fed, comfortable and have a clean litter box. We highly recommend her!

Marilyn is always wonderful with our cat Waffles! We know we can feel at peace when we travel since Marilyn will send us updates of Waffles eating and playing. She goes above and beyond to help with any emergencies or requests! We are very happy to have her!

Marilyn - Did a great job and was patient with me leaving my cat with her for the first time. She adapted to some very specific cat requests (my cat likes to approach you and is specific about how she likes to be touched). All instructions followed.

This was the first time using Meowtel for pet sitting. Marilyn did a great job with Sylvester. She kept me updated each day and sent me pictures of him. I highly recommend booking with Marilyn.

Marilyn was excellent. I was a little hesitant at first because it’s always a little nerve wracking leaving your baby with a total stranger but Marilyn was very sweet and helpful. all throughout the trip and even prior, she kept me informed and sent me pictures and it really allowed me to put my mind at ease so that I could enjoy my vacation finally knowing my little one was safe. I highly recommend her!

Marilyn was great. She sent me pictures/videos of Gendry every day and also included pictures of the clean litter and the water and food filled up. She also dealt with some silly kitty quirks like turning the shower on for him to drink and leaving an extra water cup by the bedside table in my room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Madison cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $22.00. 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.
