Cat Sitting in Clifton, NJ
My love for cats started when I cared for strays as a kid and grew even deeper after adopting my own while living in Michigan in 2020. 🐾
I don’t see cat sitting as just feeding and cleaning — every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to understand what makes your kitty feel safe, comfortable, and truly content. Whether they thrive on play, lots of head/chin scratch... Thanks for stopping by, I’ve recently relocated to Clifton, NJ!
My love for cats started when I cared for strays as a kid and grew even deeper after adopting my own while living in Michigan in 2020. 🐾
I don’t see cat sitting as just feeding and cleaning — every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to understand what makes your kitty feel safe, comfortable, and truly content. Whether they thrive on play, lots of head/chin scratches or quiet company, I tailor each visit to their needs so they can feel at ease and happy while you’re away. 😊
I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and experienced in reading feline body language. You can expect to receive multiple thoughtful photos and text updates during each check in so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands. 📸
I look forward to meeting you and your kitty, and giving them the thoughtful care they deserve. 🐱💖
Learn More About Vivian
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy meeting new cats and getting to know their unique personalities. I especially love when a shy cat decides to open up and trust you. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet sitting — every cat has their own personality, quirks, and favorite comforts. I like to take the time to observe and learn what makes your kitty feel safe and joyful.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have one and her name is Belle! She is a vocal Siamese lynx point who loves to cuddle and play. Fun fact: I named after the female philosopher, not the princess 😉
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Not leaving the front door wide open in case of any escape artists! Being attentive and paying close attention to their needs, noting body language, any unusual vomit or litter box behavior so I can notify the client.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I try to get them more familiar with my voice and scent first, crouching down and extending my arm and finger out to let them smell me, or waiting for them approach first. I also tend to leave an item (like my sling bag) out on the ground for them to smell during my first few visits, so there is no surprises and no pressure until they’re ready. My own cat hates loud noises so I tend to also speak to cats in a soft and friendly tone. Most importantly, I would do my best to not disrupt their environment or routine and respect their space.

My cats love Vivian and so I do too. She gets them playing and keeps their food and litter tidy. And she sends me fantastic photos and funny reports so I get to see exactly what they’re up to. Having her visit allows me tremendous peace of mind. She’s a delight!

We all loved having Vivian visit! To my surprise my 3 cats warmed up to her quickly. She had a sense of each one's character and played with them, fed them, gave meds, and kept the litter super tidy! She was especially attuned to their complicated dynamics. Her communication was clear and thoughtful and I loved the photos! It made me so happy to see them playing and to hear what they were up to in my absence. I have already submitted a request for my next trip - Vivian is completely worth it!

I recently had the joy of having Vivan care for my sweet cat, CeeCee, and I’m so grateful I found someone as thoughtful and reliable as her. For two days, Vivan stepped in as the perfect “cat sister”—feeding CeeCee, playing with her, and keeping her litter box fresh and clean. What really stood out was Vivan’s attention to detail and her communication. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which made being away from CeeCee so much easier. It was clear she wasn’t just checking off tasks—she was genuinely connecting with my girl and making sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. Vivan is not only responsible and thorough, but also incredibly warm and personable. It felt more like leaving CeeCee with family than with a sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again—and I think CeeCee would agree! 😊

My cats love Vivian! she fed, watered, medicated, and litter-cleaned my 6 kitties while I recovered from surgery. She got knots out of my older cat's fur, gave lots of attention to my needy ones, and helped with extra stuff without being asked. She was always on time and sent the best pics every day. I will definitely reserve Vivian again for my fur babies!

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 $25.00. 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!

Vivian was a fantastic cat sitter! She sent consistent updates complete with photos and actively tried to engage with my shy cat who actually came out of hiding to be pet. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care due to her consistency and attentiveness and will be looking to book her again in the future. :)

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Vivian! I was nervous about leaving my cats and Vivian made that all go away. She took extra special care of my slow-eating Jem and kept his sister from eating his food..She kept me up to date every visit. Jem and Jean Louise are lucky to have found such a loving caretaker and so are we!!

Vivian was a wonderful sitter for our cats! I was anxious to leave them for a whole weekend but Vivian was very communicative and responsive, and sent lots of photos, which definitely helped ease my worries. I felt much better knowing she was there to check in on them and I would gladly book again with her in the future. Thanks again, Vivian!

Vivian did an excellent job taking care of Tiramisu while I was away! I would definitely highly recommend her for your cat-sitting needs. She gave detailed updates, was very open to suggestions, and was always very attentive and quick to respond. She also takes great pictures and follows instructions to the letter. You couldn’t ask for somebody better to take care of your furry friends.
