Learn More About Marissa

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been animal sitting for about 8 years since I moved to the Milwaukee area. I have worked with all types of animals but my heart is with cats. The most rewarding part is getting a shy cat to trust you.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 cats of my own. Bert (12) and Theodore (5) and Anya (4 months). I love my cats dearly and would do anything for them!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I always let them come to me! I never want to force an interaction if they are not ready for it because that will only stress them out. I also make sure I have their favorite treats so they associate me with something positive.

Marissa was our cat sitter she was professional and caring and thorough. Our cat seemed relaxed when we returned home and at one point during the evening when we got home he was at the backdoor meowing I actually think we was looking for Marissa. Will definitely use her service again. Thanks Marissa

  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.

Milwaukee cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
