Cat Sitting in Jersey City, NJ

20+ year’s experience in kitty care with a passion for compassionate care for cats and their guardians, low stress handling, veterinary medicine, feline behavior, and animal welfare. I love all things feline!

Additionally, I am very understanding and knowledgeable of cats with fear based behaviors, "cat-a-tude” , or "spicy" kitties.

20+ year’s experience in kitty care with a passion for compassionate care for cats and their guardians, low stress handling, veterinary medicine, feline behavior, and animal welfare. I love all things feline!

Additionally, I am very understanding and knowledgeable of cats with fear based behaviors, "cat-a-tude” , or "spicy" kitties.

My experience and training as a veterinary technician helps assess the general health and well-being of cats as well as makes giving medication a non-issue. I am certified in Fear Free handling which is all about ways to handle our feline friends while reducing stress.

My behavior work in the shelter world and through fostering and rehabilitating kitties, gives me a strong understanding of feline body language and behavior. This greatly helps to cater to each individual cats needs and wants.

I am detail oriented and easily follow directions. As a fellow cat obsessed parent, I also understand how hard it can be to leave our loved ones in someone else’s care. I am committed to providing the best experience possible, not only to all kitties but to their guardians as well.
I’m no stranger to exceptional kitty care. Further references happily available upon request!

Learn More About Sarah

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been assisting people in taking care of their feline friends for over 20 years in many different professional capacities-- including behavior work in animal shelters, veterinary medicine, cat sitting, and emergency veterinary medicine. I have also worked with countless feline lovers and guardians through these positions and always aim to provide excellent customer service.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I am passionate about all things cat related so just spending time with kitties, enriching their experience, and connecting with fellow feline lovers are great benefits! I also take pride in doing everything possible to make your kitties experience as stress free as possible and to meet and exceed all your expectations.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! My feline friend is a feisty fellow named “Reznor”. I adopted him many years ago from a local shelter after falling in love when he came home with me as a foster. He's an extremely confident guy who does things on his terms. He is full of personality and some might say some of his quirks have a little "spice" to them so to speak. I also regularly foster kitties in need of a forever home. Usually I take on behavior cases but sometimes medical cases as well. It’s a truly rewarding experience each and every time.

Sarah did an amazing job taking care of Cherry while my wife and I took our honeymoon. Cherry had been dealing with some urinary issues that Sarah monitored. she went above and beyond with how she monitored. she sent lots of pictures and provided consistent updates on Cherry’s mood and behavior. so grateful for the excellent care Sarah provided while we were away. Would highly recommend Sarah!

Sarah has taken care of our 10-year-old cat Chloe multiple times on both rather long (1-2 weeks) and shorter (a few days) trips when we’ve been away, and has always done an amazing job. She is very organized when it comes to noting everything about feeding, playtime, and other routines for Chloe, and we love getting regular text / photo / video updates from her on how Chloe is doing. We’ve also really appreciated that Sarah has been flexible in times we’ve had to adjust our travel plans or needed extra favors (picking up a time-sensitive package, watering plants, etc) while we are away. Sarah really does go above and beyond and we’re incredibly grateful that we have come to find such a great sitter for Chloe. Strongly recommend working with Sarah!

Sarah is the best cat sitter I've ever had. My cat is a senior with a lot of health issues, and Sarah has gone above and beyond to help. She has even helped replace our cat's bandage and gave her oral pills in spite of her being very difficult to bill. She is dependable and communicative, and a true cat lover. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Sarah arrived around the same time each day (important when medications need to be given), provided playtime and treats, cleaned litter boxes, followed instructions, and was able to successfully give meds to one of my very shy cats. She was consistent with sending updates and photos immediately after each visit. I would definitely recommend Sarah!

I initially booked Sarah's services for every other day but changed to every day at the last minute because one of my cats ended up with an eye infection and needed an ointment to be applied everyday. Sarah was able to confirm almost immediately and I was confident that she could handle giving meds to my very shy scaredy cat given her background as a vet tech. If you have a cat that may require extra TLC, look no further than Sarah!

Sarah was great! She took great care of our cats, she was very good at following our instructions and sent detailed updates which I was very grateful for. She gave medication and lots of pets and attention to our extroverted kitty. She was also very patient with our shy cat who needs some time to warm up to strangers and by the end of the visits opened up and was looking forward to lots of pets from her. Additionally she also took good care of our house and it felt as if we didn't leave in the first place. We booked her twice in a period of around 2 weeks and were delighted by her care. I felt much more at ease having her taking care of our kitties, would happily recommend her and would love to keep having her as our catsitter in the future!

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!
