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 ...
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.

I was so happy to have Sarah look after Ponzu and Dashi again. She did such a fantastic job the first time that I had no hesitation booking her again, even though since then my boy, Ponzu, has been diagnosed with diabetes and now needs insulin twice a day. Sarah looked after them like they were her own. She came at the right times every day to give Ponzu his insulin, made sure they were fed, gave them plenty of attention, cuddles and playtime, and sent me so many photos and updates that I never had to wonder how they were doing. She even went above and beyond by bringing some of her own cat toys to keep them entertained and give them some extra enrichment, which I thought was incredibly thoughtful. She also noticed the weather was going to be hot and made sure the air conditioning and fans were on so they stayed comfortable while I was away. When I came home, the litter boxes were spotless, she’d swept up around them, and honestly the apartment looked like she’d left it in better condition than I usually do myself! Sarah is reliable, caring, thoughtful and clearly loves animals. I can absolutely see why she has so many repeat clients - she’s an absolute gem, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sarah is amazing with our cats! One of our cats has diabetes and epilepsy and requires insulin injections and oral seizure medication and Sarah does an amazing job administering them! Your cat(s) are in great hands with her!

Sarah went above and beyond! She somehow managed to get one of our skittish cats to come out from hiding and eat with the others, which no other cat sitter has been able to do. She was also able to get one of our other cats to take his medication, which he tends to refuse when we aren't around. We were incredibly grateful, and would definitely recommend.

Sarah was fantastic with our two cats while we were away for a few days. They had literally just moved into a new place and weren’t getting along, so we had to keep them separated the entire time. It wasn’t the easiest setup, but Sarah handled it so well and made us feel completely at ease. She was incredibly kind and gentle with both of them, made sure they each got lots of love and attention, kept their spaces clean, tidied their litter boxes, and was just generally so thoughtful and caring. One of the things we appreciated most was all the updates. Sarah sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the stay, which was such a comfort given how stressed the cats had been with the move. It was obvious she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make sure they were both happy and comfortable. We came home to two well-looked-after cats and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll absolutely be booking with Sarah again the next time we have to go away. Thank you, Sarah! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

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!
