I'm Sarah
Cat Sitting in Fair Lawn, NJ
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 🐾

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 great! She reached out right after booking and proactively offered to come by and meet my boy Donny. as I explained his care needs (he’s diabetic) she took notes and asked questions. while I was away, she sent lots of pictures and spent time with Donny giving lots of pets. Highly recommend. will definitely book again!

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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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!

From the very start Sarah was attentive, communicative and willing to learn. We left very specific instructions for our kitties and she followed them all to a tee. She sent daily photos and updates and even got our babies some treats. She will definitely be our go to cat sitter when we are away.

I cannot begin to describe how satisfied I am with Sarah’s service! I booked her last minute for about a week & was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable my cat was with her, even allowing Sarah to brush her fur. She followed my instructions to a T & I came home to how I left it. The perfectly captured photos of my baby were also a big plus. I will most definitely be booking again in the future!

Because of Sarah, I was able to vacation in peace knowing that my cats were well taken care of and given much love everytime she comes. She would send multiple pictures of my cats every visit and by the end, they were quite fond of her. I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone who is in need of a cat sitter!

We had a fantastic experience with Sarah! She took wonderful care of our three cats and made sure all of their needs were met while we were away. From feeding and litter to playtime and attention, everything was handled with care and reliability. We truly appreciated all the thoughtful updates along the way too! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were well cared for and comfortable in their own home. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!

Sarah is an excellent choice for a cat sitter because she's a reliable and trustworthy friend. She has cat sat for many friends, myself included. I never have to think twice about who I can reach out to in a pinch.

Sarah is a very determined and kind person, when you think of someone that will go above and beyond you think of her. I’ve learned so much from her when it came to taking care of my cats. Any future client would be lucky to have her as their sitter.
