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 (13) and Theodore (5) and Anya (1). 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 amazing - she clearly won the heart of our shy girl! she sent daily pictures, and even taught her new ways to play, because she had a lot more energy for her favorite toys when we got home! she even brought in a heavy package for us! We’ll definitely use her in the future!

Marissa was very professional, and very kind and patient with my cat (who can be very shy). They sent photos for each visit, and updated me with any info I asked for during my trip. I very much appreciated their promptness in communication - they responded quickly to confirm the reservation booking and when planning times for the meet and greet, and responded quickly anytime I had questions during my trip, which made me feel comfortable. Thanks Marissa!

Marissa was fantastic! Our two cats were well cared for and we received regular communication and updates with photos. One of our cats requires an inhaler and Marissa was able to administer his medication without any issues. We would definitely book with Marissa again!

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:


  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
  • 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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 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!
