I'm Natasha
Cat Sitting in East Rutherford, NJ
I'm experienced with all ages, from high energy kittens to seniors, as well as with special... Safety and routine first! I'm an experienced cat sitter and owner of one shy baby and one wild boy. I adjust my care to match your cat’s personality, whether they need space and quiet or a few polite chin scratches and some playtime.
I'm experienced with all ages, from high energy kittens to seniors, as well as with specialty breeds like Bengals.
I’m comfortable with specialized care, including giving oral meds or topical treatments. I always keep a close eye on appetite, litter habits, and behavior.
I'll send regular updates with photos, and flag anything unusual right away, so you can breathe easy knowing your cat is being well cared for.
Learn More About Natasha
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two, one quiet senior girl named Minette and one wild child boy named Maui. I know how to care for different personalities, ages and genders, and would alter my approach for each individual cat's needs to make sure they were safe and well cared for.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Make sure you hire someone experienced in cat care specifically. Some individuals offering general pet-sitting services may be more familiar with dogs, while cat care requires a great understanding of cat quirks and behaviors. Stress shows up differently in both so its important to hire someone who knows what warning signs to look for in case of an emergency.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I would have an in-depth talk with the cat parent prior to sitting to get an idea of the cats behavior and any special needs to ensure safety. For instance, if the cat has a habit of eating string or hair ties I'd do a thorough check of the house and never bring anything like that with me. I'd make sure anything that could endanger a cat, like window shade cords or precariously placed objects, were secured. I'd ensure all windows and doors were locked before I left the house and would make sure the cat was in a safe area with access to all its regular needs. I'd provide the owners with regular updates and photos.

Natasha did a great job taking care of my cat while we were away. She followed all my instructions, left the kitchen very clean, and even left me a thank you note for booking her (unexpected and a very nice touch). She spent 40 minutes with me before the trip to learn what needed to be done and to make me feel comfortable leaving my cat in a stranger’s care. I highly recommend Natasha and will book her again for my next trip.

With constant updates and love and affection given to my pets, she’s proven to be someone I will always count on and call when I need someone to take care of my furry family.

Every time I go away on vacation I know I can count on Natasha to take care of my two cats, I really appreciate her because she doesn't just feed them and leave - she stays and plays with them which makes me feel so much better on longer trips. I set up cameras when I leave to watch over the house, and have seen first hand her love for cats. Also, I think its worth mentioning we were new pet parents when we met Natasha and her advice really helped us.

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!
