Cat Sitting in Fair Lawn, NJ

Hi there, I’m Sarah 😊

I’ve cared for cats and kittens all my life, from fosters to rescues to my very own. I am a cat lover at heart, and every time I see a stray cat I will always try to be friends with it. Cats always had my heart and I do my best to give each one the best care possible.

I consider myself very reliable and flexible with schedules, and traveling is no issue for me. I am communicative and love taking photos of your fur babies, so updates will be provided ever...
Hi there, I’m Sarah 😊

I’ve cared for cats and kittens all my life, from fosters to rescues to my very own. I am a cat lover at heart, and every time I see a stray cat I will always try to be friends with it. Cats always had my heart and I do my best to give each one the best care possible.

I consider myself very reliable and flexible with schedules, and traveling is no issue for me. I am communicative and love taking photos of your fur babies, so updates will be provided everyday. I like to keep spaces clean and tidy as well, so expect litter box and food areas to be tidied up if there’s a mess. Also, I will help you if you need your mail/ packages picked up and plants if they need to be watered. 😊

My goal is to provide you with peace and comfort while you’re away. I understand it is stressful leaving your fur babies so I will ensure your cat/s will have a warm and safe experience. I hope to hear from you 🐾


**I won’t be available May 27- June 9**

Learn More About Sarah

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cats in general. It could be the most fiesty or the most playful cat. Cats are my favorite animal so I love to build that trust with them so they can relax and play and enjoy some pets. I want to make their experience the most positive :)

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do not have any kitties right now. My oldest cat Andy passed away early last year. He was 19 years old. I have recently moved to a new town, so I am trying to get acclimated in my home first before adopting a cat 🩷

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I would like to know what their concerns and expectations are so I can make the reservation a smooth and comfortable experience. If there is something extra needed to help ease their anxiety, I am willing to work with them.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is the fishing wand toy. I love when a cat goes goofy for a flying feather and does some funny acrobatic movements. 😄

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I always greet new cats and kittens so they know who I am and that I am in their home. If they are timid and anxious I will let them come to me on their own terms, and be very gentle with them with a calm voice. And sometimes give them a small treat (if allowed) to build trust with them.

Sarah was super communicative and made me feel like my favorite lil furrball was in great hands. She sent multiple updates, photos, and even offered to extend the reservation when my flight home was canceled. Will absolutely be hiring her again in the future.

Sarah couldn't have been any more awesome. Took her time to meet our baby Luni and ask questions. Luna is more of a difficult cat and doesn't get along with everyone, but Sarah made sure to work on gaining her trust each day she visited, and by the end of it, Luni was letting her pet her. She played with her, fed her treats, and took some really great photogenic pictures of our baby every day. She was amazing at communicating with us even while we were 6 hours ahead in Europe. Whenever we travel again, we will certainly call Sarah to come be our sitter. Seriously couldn't not recommend more!

Sarah was the perfect cat sitter. Before our reservation she scheduled some time to come meet our kitties and get a rundown of what care they needed. While we were away we got a ton of updates, photos and videos of our cats getting a bunch of love and treats from Sarah! We came back from our trip to clean litter boxes, clean food/water bowls and our cats happy! She did an amazing job caring for our cats, I would happily reccomend her to anyone needing a sitter!

Sarah was absolutely amazing! She kept in constant contact with us while we were away and provided updates, pictures, and videos. She was even able to get our shy girl to come out of hiding and play a while! I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of our babies while we were on vacation. Thank you Sarah! Cannot recommend her enough

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.

Fair Lawn cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
