Cat Sitting

Cat Sitting visits are tailored to your cats needs. Each visit includes feeding per your instructions, clean bowls, clean water, clean scooped litter, medication administration if required, enrichment and playtime and all the attention your cats can handle (on their terms, of course.)

For most cats, 30 minutes is plenty of time for a good visit. Extended visits of 45-60 minutes are available for larger cat families (3 or more) or cats who may enjoy additional lap time.

New Client Meet & Greet:  No charge.  Subsequent re-acquaintance visits are $30.00

Cat Sitting visits start at $30.00 per visit.  Your custom cat sitting price is determined by the number of cats (and other pets) in your family, and the time it takes to properly provide our high standard of care. We’ll give you an estimate during out phone interview.

Holiday Rate: Add $10 per visit to all visits for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. 

Long-Term Cat Sitting – We’re happy to accommodate long term cat sitting requests up to 45 days, with advance notice. We apply an automatic 15% gratuity to all pet sittings 10 days or longer.

Special Requests and Veterinary Visits:  Special Request services such as garden watering or kitty concierge tasks, and Veterinary Care visits are not included in regular pet sitting prices. These special services will be charged by time – in 15 minute increments – at the base rate of $70 per hour.

Minimum Visit Requirement: We require that your cats are visited at least once every 24 hours, and do not offer Every-Other-Day cat visits.  There is a purchase minimum of $75 (2-3 visits) for your first pet sitting with Meow Cat Sitting.

“Maripage is a true professional. Thorough in getting to know our cats and our needs. Caring and compassionate. We had never used an in-home service before, but she exceeded our expectations. Maripage takes away all the guilt of leaving our cats at home because we know they enjoy her so much! “ Jan O.

Your cats are quite possibly your favorite “people”. They are precious to me too.

From shy cats that take longer to grant their trust, to rough & tumble kitties who love to chase and play, I love caring for your feline fur-kids. 

Dish and Dash cat sitting is not how things are done here at Meow Cat Sitting.   I build a relationship with your cats. I spend time with your cats and incorporate a little kitty magic to help them feel relaxed and comfortable while you’re away.   For you, I offer Peace of Mind – the assurance that a reliable, mature, dependable professional pet sitter is caring for your pets and home. 

What’s Included:

Time with your cats: Whether they are playful or shy, they receive my full and undivided attention – on their terms.  Visits are usually 30 minutes long (for 1-2 cats) – and I’m not rushing out the door when my timer dings.  Extended visits are available for larger cat families (3 cats or more), or if your kitties might enjoy some extra lap time.

Enrichment and playtime: I develop a relationship with your cats. I play with them, encourage exercise and incorporate enrichment activities to keep them from feeling bored or lonely.

Comfort: I put energy into developing a relationship with your cats, so when you’re away they are cared for by a familiar friend. Shy kitties may take a while to warm up, and that’s okay. Our relationship will build over time, and on their terms.

Feeding per your instructions. Your cats will eat their regular meals from clean food dishes and enjoy fresh, clean water every day. 

Medications and Special Needs: If your kitties are on special meal plans or require medications I am experienced with administering medications. I do my best to emulate the method and routine you use for their special needs care.

Litter Box Care:  All litter boxes will be thoroughly scooped at every visit.  The box area is swept/vacuumed clean and boxes are topped up with fresh litter you provide.

Lite House Sitting Tasks: For your convenience I will bring in your mail, papers and packages.  I will be happy to water indoor plants weekly.  (For an additional charge, I can also water patio gardens and veggie gardens in Spring and Summer months.)

Updates and Photos:  For your peace of mind, I will send you a short report and photos after each visit.
