I have been cat sitting for about 23 years for friends’ cats and excited to expand my platform here. Some cats I have known and others were strangers.

I would advice them to ask a lot of questions as you want to ensure whoever you select you are comfortable with and trust them.

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

My typical process for working with a new car parent is ensuring my door is open for all questions prior to a meet and greet and at it. I promote transparency and ensure all instructions are covered to a T. I want to ensure the cat(s) and their parents are taken care of and happy.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I am very gentle with them and give them space. I focus on establishing trust and respect. If I want to recommend or bring over a new toy I discuss with the parent first. Want to ensure there are no health risks.

I love the laser point and the mouse toys on the sticks as I have found these toys resonate well with most cats. Bonus they are entertaining for me too.

I ensure to give them space. I’ll talk to them warmly from afar and work to gain their trust. I work on the cats terms.

She is very experienced with my elderly cat and was able to administer daily meds and evaluate her litter box very well. She kept me updated multiple times a day and genuinely loves cats. My cat and I could not be more thankful for having her take care of us. She is the best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jersey City cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
