I'm Mara | Cat Sitting in Sun Prairie, WI

Hi, I’m Mara, and I was basically born loving cats. They have always been a big part of my life and that will never change. I consider myself to be an expert, as I have cared for a variety of cats and their differing personalities over the years. When I meet a new cat, I often hear, “Wow, my cat doesn’t usually like new people”. I think they can just tell I am a safe person. This isn’t just by luck however, but by respecting their boundaries. Cats are great at teaching us boundaries, whether it’s where they like to be pet, if they want to be pet, or if they even want to be looked at. I truly believe that cats need to choose to come by you and sometimes ...

Learn More About Mara

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy the most about cat sitting is giving cat owners peace of mind. As someone who greatly struggled with anxiety in the past, I know just how hard it can be to leave your cats, no matter how short your absence may be. I just know that if I would have had someone I trusted to watch over then, my mind could’ve been fully at ease.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My husband and I have FIVE cats. They are all girls, named Ozzy, Emmy, Roxanne, Dahlia, and Matilda. We are incredibly blessed that they all get along and we love our little family. As much as we love cats, however, we think this number is just enough and don’t plan on adding any more 😢

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

The best advice I would give when looking for a sitter would be to go with whoever makes you feel the safest and most comfortable. If you get along with them, chances are your cat will too!

Mara was wonderful! She sent great updates and was an excellent problem solver when my cat's auto feeder acted up. Looking forward to hiring her again!

Mara was a dream to work with. Not only was she very personable and trustworthy, she took amazing care of my two kittens. The pictures I received were fantastic and the updates were incredibly detail-oriented. Mara went above and beyond by also taking in our packages and doing some cleaning. She really was a dream. I highly recommend booking Mara for taking care of your cats. The only thing I worried about was my cats liking her more than me :).

Mara was terrific! Great communication, quick to respond, went above-and-beyond - all with a cat with multiple medications and needs. Would definitely recommend her.

Mara went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and Kevin, my “stranger danger” cat! Her updates were extremely thorough, and I so appreciated the photographs. Beyond being loving towards animals, Mara is detail oriented, professional, and a great communicator. I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.

This was my first time booking a cat sitter since moving to Madison and Mara was fabulous! Great communicator and went above and beyond keeping Luna and Jules well fed and taken care of. She sent detailed recaps after her visits and great pictures. Mara also vacuumed the litter box area which was so nice. I would definitely book Mara again!

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

Sun Prairie cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
