I’ve been a cat mom for over a decade to three senior cats (all siblings, now 10+ years old), so I know exactly what it takes to care for cats at every life stage – from zoomy kittens to finicky seniors. Whether your cat needs meds, extra attention, or just someone calm and reliable while you’re away, I’ve got it covered.
I’m patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely love spending time with cats of all personalities. I’ll treat your cat and your home with the same care I give my own.
Let me know what your cat needs – I’m happy to help.
Learn More About Vivienne
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Getting to meet new cats. And then getting acquainted with the cat. The approval or acceptance from the cats means a great deal to me.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes I have three black senior cats, they are siblings from the same litter - Dar-hey, Er-hey and May may.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Give the cats enough time and let them take the initiatives. Be quiet, move gently, and do not let the cat feel that I’m a great disturbance.

Vivienne is exceptionally diligent! My home is a bit of a complex case with three cats, four different types of food, and five litter boxes, but she followed all of my instructions perfectly and faithfully. My cats are quite shy around strangers, but Vivienne bonded with them from day one and took wonderful care of them. My eldest cat needs frequent eye cleaning due to excessive tearing, and Vivienne was able to handle this smoothly from the very first day by using treats. She also kept the feeding and litter areas clean by sweeping up, and since I hired her for an hour, she spent every remaining minute playing with the cats once her tasks were done. I am beyond satisfied with her service and will definitely be hiring her again!

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.
Newark cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $38.00. 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!

Vivienne is one of the most reliable and caring people I’ve had the pleasure to work with. She’s incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and attentive, qualities that show not only in her professional work but also in how she cares for her own three cats. Anyone who leaves their pets in her care can feel confident they’ll be looked after with the same love and dedication she shows every day.

I’ve known Vivienne for five years, including a year as my roommate, and I’ve seen firsthand how calm, attentive, and reliable she is with animals. She currently cares for three cats and keeps an immaculate, low-stress environment with consistent routines and thoughtful enrichment. When we had an unexpected maintenance visit, she immediately secured each cat safely and coordinated clearly with the workers—zero drama, just great judgment. Her updates are timely and informative, and she follows owner and vet instructions to the letter (including meds when needed). I would trust her with any pet.
