Cat Sitting in Jersey City, NJ

Hi! I’m a caring and patient cat lover with hands-on experience looking after a shy chartreux for a close friend on multiple occasions. Through gentle interaction, consistency, and respect for his boundaries, I was able to build a strong bond with him—and now I truly enjoy playing with him and earning his trust. That experience taught me how important patience and understanding are when caring for more reserved or anxious cats.

Through gentle interaction, consistency, and respect for his boundaries, I was able to build a strong bond with him—and now I truly enjoy playing with him and earning his trust. That experience taught me how important patience and understanding are when caring for more reserved or anxious cats.

I provide attentive in-home care including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and following your cat’s routine closely to keep them comfortable while you’re away. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of your home, and I always send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.

Your cat’s comfort and wellbeing are my top priority, and I treat every cat I care for as if they were my own. I’d love to meet you and your cat!

Learn More About Selene

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

I have about one year of cat-sitting experience. During this time, I’ve looked after a friend’s cat on multiple occasions, including caring for a very shy blue cat. Through patience and consistent care, I was able to build a strong bond with him and gain his trust. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and following specific routines to help cats feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.

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

I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep doors and windows secured, and never let cats outside unless explicitly allowed. I create a checklist - food, water, and litter, remove hazards, and make sure the home is locked before I leave. I also provide regular updates like sending photos or videos so owners know their cat and home are safe.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I’m available during most holidays! My schedule is very flexible and willing to accommodate based on your schedule! :)

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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 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 Meet & Greet!
