I'm Naeema
Cat Sitting in Detroit, MI
My hands-on experience includes volunteering at the Michigan Humane Society from 2022 to 2023 and at the Cat Café in Ferndale in 2022... I’m Naeema from Detroit, MI, and I care for your kitties like they’re my own. I’ve spent years cat-sitting for friends and family, so I get how unique each cat is and what they need. I’ve got two cats of my own, Apple and Cinnamon, and I've also helped strays find the loving furever homes they truly deserve.
My hands-on experience includes volunteering at the Michigan Humane Society from 2022 to 2023 and at the Cat Café in Ferndale in 2022. These opportunities have not only enriched my knowledge of various cat personalities but have also allowed me to appreciate the special bond we share with them. I am skilled in administering ear and eye drops, oral medications, and ointments, ensuring your precious cat receives all the care they need.
Whether you require quick check-ins or overnight stays, I’m here to provide reliable and loving care to keep your cats happy and healthy. I’ll make sure their food bowls are filled, water is fresh, playtime is abundant, and litter boxes are kept clean. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and attended to while you’re away, giving you peace of mind during your time apart!
Learn More About Naeema
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Spending time with different kitties is such a wonderful experience, as each cat has its own unique personality. It’s heartwarming to encounter the lively ones who bounce around with energy, the gentle souls who love to cuddle up on your lap, and even those who prefer to enjoy their own company. Every kitty deserves love and understanding, and it’s truly special to appreciate them for who they are.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Be as detailed in your cat care instructions, if it were me I would want to make sure my sitter knew everything, so my kitties had the best care possible.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I make sure to have patience and give them space to come to me when they are ready. I know what it's like to be around unfamiliar faces, so I would take my time to make sure they know they're safe with me.

Our Experience with Naeema was outstanding! She is a very kind person and our cats seemed to really like her. We received daily updates of the tasks done around the house and photos of our cats. Naeema went above and beyond and even brought in any packages that were delivered while we were gone. Overall she is just a very reliable person and it really helped ease our nerves traveling without our pets.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 free Meet & Greet!
