I'm Zachary

Cat Sitting in Clifton, NJ

My name is Zach and I have been an avid animal lover all of my life, but cats have always held the most special position in my heart. When I was an infant my grandparents gifted me my first feline friend, a Siamese kitten named Rosco who was the exact same age I was and I cherished growing up with him and celebrating milestones together. As time went on other cats entered my life and I have loved each one dearly.

I grew up in rural South Carolina and there were many strays in the area who needed help. My mother and I took many in, some joined our family permanently, and others we raised and cared for until we were able to find the purrfect forever homes for them. Along with caring for our own cats during my childhood, I also took great joy in catsitting for friends and family members as well as volunteering at local shelters through the 4H club.

At the current moment I have one sweet boy named Kruseman, a very playful and silly orange tabby with a lot of personality...

I grew up in rural South Carolina and there were many strays in the area who needed help. My mother and I took many in, some joined our family permanently, and others we raised and cared for until we were able to find the purrfect forever homes for them. Along with caring for our own cats during my childhood, I also took great joy in catsitting for friends and family members as well as volunteering at local shelters through the 4H club.

At the current moment I have one sweet boy named Kruseman, a very playful and silly orange tabby with a lot of personality. He's been part of my little family since he was a kitten born in the Carolinas and he made the move up here with me. He is the most outgoing, loving, curious cat I've ever met and brings great joy to my family and I every day. With his fascination in playing fetch to wanting to splash around in any water source he sees from the shower to kiddie pools, there's never a dull moment with him around!

My passion for the care of animals has followed me into adulthood and since Rosco there has not been a day of my life where I didn't have at least one feline friend with me. I have worked as a retail manager for the last 5 years since moving to New Jersey, however I am saving up to work towards my goal of becoming an animal physical therapist. Over the years I realized that caring for animals, especially those who are seniors or have conditions that require a little extra help, is where my heart truly lies.

I take Covid protocols seriously and am committed to wearing a mask while in your home and will follow any additional precautions requested as well.

I am a very patient, dedicated, and caring person who finds no greater joy than spending time with animals and making friends with each cat I meet. If you allow me the opportunity to look after your feline friend I can assure you that I will treat them as if they were my own and follow all care instructions with precision and bring nothing but love, respect, and kindness into your home.

Zachary was so great! We have a very playful and affectionate kitty, and Zachary took the time to make sure he got all the play time and cuddles he needed. He definitely made us feel really at ease while we were spending time away. He was super responsive and sent us plenty of videos and photos as well. We would definitely love to hire him again when we need a sitter!

this is the fourth (or fifth) time we’ve booked Zachary, and the longest by far. The only reason we are able to travel and not worry about our kitties is because of him. Zachary is a stellar pet sitter! We are confident they are in good hands, as we see from the daily update messages and pictures/videos that Zachary sends. He completes all tasks as we ask, and more than that, he interacts and plays with the young one, and speaks softly to my scaredy girls. Would definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone!

Zachary was amazing. My cats were well taken care of & happily adjusted to him. The video updates were cute and showed how much they liked him. He was dedicated even through some personal life events. Great sitter!

This was my second time (& longest) booking with Zachary. He is amazing! He clearly loves all kitties and was so patient with my shy kitties. I suggested a game for him to play with one of them and he did and sent me videos! Zachary is extremely dependable and completed all my requests each day. I have no hesitation leaving my kitties in his care, and I would recommend him to anyone!

We hate having to go away for a couple of days because we miss our cat so much. But knowing that Zach will be coming to visit her makes it okay. Not only has our girl fallen in love with Zach, but his influence has helped her be more social when other people come to visit. She used to immediately hide under the bed anytime someone came into the house. Spending time with Zach has made her more trusting. The exterminator came by today and she didn't run away. Zach's influence on our Diva is obvious and extremely positive.

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.

Clifton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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 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!
