I'm Caitlin | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
Hi there! MEOW are you?! My name is Caitlin (she/her), and I have been a sitter with Meowtel since 2022 and have completed over 250 reservations. I am a self-proclaimed cat lady, with a problematic number of cat mugs 😹 and multiple "cattoos" (cat tattoos!) 😺 I have had cats my whole life, and as a cat sitter, I have years of experience (even prior to Meowtel) and oodles of helpful cat knowledge. Most importantly, I firmly believe that cats aren't just pets, they're FAMILY - and your family deserves the best care in the world! I would be honored to look after your babies and ensure that they get all the loving care they deserve. NOTE TO MY EXISTING JC CLIENTS: PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME DIRECTLY AND I WILL OPEN UP DATES FOR YOU! I WILL ALWAYS TRY TO ACCOMODATE MY KITTY FAM! ♥️ ABOUT ME: *I have never not had multiple cats! Currently, I have 4 furry children of my own: Little Mama (3); her “babies”, Pearl and Lionel (2); and my senior floof, Cashmere (12). *I have been heavily involved in cat rescue, fostering, and adoption for nearly 20 years - it is my passion! ♥️ *I have years of experience socializing and rehabilitating kitties who have been neglected, abused, semi-feral, and traumatized, and subsequently nervous or aggressive. (It’s amazing what time, love, and patience can do!) *Professionally, I am a working actor – you may have seen me on TV at some point! I also work in administrative support part-time. *I recently relocated from Jersey City to Astoria, Queens, and my primary zones of service are now Queens and NYC. I am not accepting new clients in NJ, but happy to accommodate existing clients! *I am completely trustworthy, compassionate, communicative, and dependable. You’ll never have to worry about a thing! *I am fully vaccinated (and up-to-date boosted) for COVID-19. MY SPECIALTIES: *GREAT with shy, anxious, and/or nervous cats! I have been called a “cat whisperer” many times – a true badge of honor! *Special needs assistance (ie: blind, deaf, neurological disorders, impaired mobility) *I have cared for cats of all breeds and ages, kitten through senior. *Behavioral issues – I’ve seen it all! (Much of which in my own home at one time or another!) *Masters and Doctorate degrees in chin scritchies, cheek rubs, and snuggles! 😸 MEDICAL EXPERIENCE: *I have first-hand experience ...

Caitlin's Reviews
Joseph
She's the one! Caitlin spent an extraordinary amount of time in my house, was sensitive, caring and diligent. I was amazed by the volume of communication as well. She really surpassed my expectations. My boys love her.
Jacinda
Caitlin is my blind kitty’s favorite person in the world, and she’s also an expert at giving my kitty insulin. She also takes care of my revolving foster cats every time! Absolute best sitter.
Amanda
I think this is the 3rd time that Caitlin has taken care of Niko. We love her so much! She’s the purrrfect cat sitter! She always goes above and beyond. We are so lucky to have found her!
Jacinda
As always, Caitlin is the BEST. My blind cat who prefers solitude when guests are over is obsessed with Caitlin and was very happy to spend the weekend with her. She also happily took care of a new foster (also blind), who of course fell in love with her too.
Alison
Caitlin is just the best. She takes such great care of our senior shy kitty, who loves and adores her. She makes sure she’s getting her medication, and feeds her, loves her, pets her, and makes sure she is getting lots of treats! I never worry when Caitlin is with her!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee
We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

Frequently Asked Questions
New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
