Cat Sitting in Jersey City, NJ

I grew up with cats and have been a responsible cat parent my entire adult life as well. I have two cats presently, Quintus and Cato, both of whom are 12 years old. They are both domestic shorthairs - Quintus is orange, and Cato is white and grey/brown and has thumbs. I have decades of experience caring for cats, including giving medications (pills, drops, and inhalers - no injections, though). In addition, I'm a member of the ASPCA and regularly donate to organizations such as Alley Cat Allies... I grew up with cats and have been a responsible cat parent my entire adult life as well.

During the week, my regular job is Deputy Director at a museum/research institution based in Manhattan. I can make drop-in visits for cat care in the late afternoons or early evenings on weekdays and have much more flexibility on weekends. For twice-a-day visits, I can drop in early morning and late afternoon/early evening on weekdays, with more flexibility on the weekends. In Jersey City, the easiest neighborhoods for me to service are the Jersey City Heights (where I live), and Exchange Place or Downtown Jersey City. I am also happy to go to Hoboken. I work in the Soho area of New York City, so I can also service the area of Soho and Tribeca, especially on weekdays.

Nathan did a great job taking care of polly. Regular updates every morning with pictures. Plus he went above and beyond and brought some extra litter from home when my supply ran out.

Nathan was really good with our Tabu. He took care of her food and made sure she got plenty of play time. He also sent us really cute photos and videos daily. Overall, we had a relaxing vacation knowing that Nathan was looking after our cat.

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.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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.

Jersey City cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
