I'm Alex | Cat Sitting in Jersey City, NJ

Hello! I am Alex and I would love to help you and your cat(s) with anything you need! I have had cats my entire life and have spent a lot of time learning their body language, how to gain trust, early detection of medical issues, and how to make sure they enjoy their day. Before working with any feline, I make sure to introduce myself to your cat with patience, understanding, and in their own language through relaxed body language and scent (giving them a shirt of mine to become familiar with). If your cat has medical needs, I am also well versed in that as well. Un...

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have had 5 cats in my life. My first was my absolute baby Roxy who I got as a child. Since her I have had four more, Little, Midnight, and Leo. While some have passed on, I gave them all the love in the world while I had time with them, and will impart that same love onto yours.

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

When working with a new cat parent, I like to get as much information as I can about your relationship. What does your feline like? Where do they liked to be pet? What are their hiding spots? What is their attitude? Do they respond to certain shows/music? When do they come to cuddle vs hide away? Understanding the relationship between the feline and its owner is crucial to understanding how to care for your feline.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Some cats are more friendly than others, but in every cat is a friend, and some just take longer to warm up! Timid cats are of course going to be timid when a stranger shows up in their home. The most important thing is to not make yourself a stranger! Cats like dogs are very scent oriented animals, as well as territorial. How I would deal with an anxious cat is to get as low as I can and place something with my scent a bit in front of me. This allows the cat to come get used to me without having to come near me, and allowing them to come to me at their own pace once they feel comfortable. This sometimes takes a bit but anything is worth it for your fur baby!

Alex is the reason I got my cats, their love and deep connection with their animals inspired me to adopt and they have cared for them on multiple occasions. I have received nothing but stellar results, my babies are always as happy as they were when I left.

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 $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.
