I'm Sofiya

Cat Sitting in Norwalk, CT

Hi! I'm Sofiya, mama of Miso - an orange tabby cat and Toto - tuxedo black kitten🐈🐈‍⬛

I admire cats because I have always been around them. As a child, I always made friends with cats. I looked after them, fed and dressed them (inventing stylish clothes for them). Over time, I started helping local organizations such as 'Dim Sirka' and 'UAnimals' with donations and even visiting dog shelters. I saved a young kitty on my 25th birthday...
Hi! I'm Sofiya, mama of Miso - an orange tabby cat and Toto - tuxedo black kitten🐈🐈‍⬛

I admire cats because I have always been around them. As a child, I always made friends with cats. I looked after them, fed and dressed them (inventing stylish clothes for them). Over time, I started helping local organizations such as 'Dim Sirka' and 'UAnimals' with donations and even visiting dog shelters. I saved a young kitty on my 25th birthday. I sterilized her and found her a family (with whom I kept in touch for a long time to know that the kitty and her new family got used to each other). Also, my husband and I rescued two kittens from the street, and now they live with my mother-in-law. Two years ago, we adopted Miso.

My go-to slogan is: "Animals rely on us for protection and care, as they are unable to safeguard or rescue themselves. It is our responsibility to ensure their well-being. They simply deserve the chance to live and flourish, just like we do".

- I am located in Stamford, CT
- Available to work in: Stamford, Norwalk, Darien, and Greenwich. (Other areas have to be negotiated)
- Time: mostly flexible

This was the second time I worked with Sofiya and I continue to be impressed by her professionalism, attentiveness, and love for our two cats. Sofiya is highly responsive, caring and considerate of our home. She sends lots of pictures and provides comfort and play for our boys while we’re away. Sofiya is the best!!

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.

Norwalk 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!
