I understand the unique personalities and subtle cues of our feline friends. I love to learn each cat’s personality, quirks and communication style. I will always give appropriate time and space for cats... I promise to treat your cat as if they were my own. I’ve had cats for my entire life and I’ve loved them for just as long.
I understand the unique personalities and subtle cues of our feline friends. I love to learn each cat’s personality, quirks and communication style. I will always give appropriate time and space for cats to feel comfortable with me. I pride myself on being observant, patient, and incredibly detail oriented.
I’m no stranger to the importance of clean litter.
I work from home during the day which offers me the flexibility to be available to give your cat the loving attention and companionship they deserve while you’re away.
Learn More About Alyssa
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting regularly since June 2025 and it’s my favorite job I’ve ever had! By day I work in the corporate world but cats are my passion.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I currently have two wonderful kitties. Bagheera (17 years old) & Dexter (8 years old). Bagheera is a calm sweet kitty and Dexter is a playful sweet kitty. They have polar opposite personalities and I love them both so much!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Before accepting a booking I will arrange a meeting so that I can come meet you and your cat(s). I want to ensure all parties are comfortable. If your cat takes medication I’d like to observe how you administer it.

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.
New Haven cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!
