Even though I grew up in a household that didn’t allow cats, I was always drawn to them and I’ve spent the last 15 years making up for lost time. I currently live with three beloved rescue cats, including one with special needs.

In addition to volunteering with rescue organizations, I rescued and rehabilitated more than 20 cats. This hands-on experience taught me to handle just about anything, medication, behavior quirks, special diets, and knowing when a vet visit is truly needed.

I recently moved to the U.S. and plan to continue my rescue work once I am settled in a more permanent home. Until then, I’m here to offer reliable, loving care for your feline family members, complete with clean litter boxes and plenty of chin scratches.

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

I have been professionally cat sitting for almost a year now. In addition, I have been involved with cat rescue for nearly 12 years, giving me extensive experience with cat behaviour, health needs, and care.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is meeting new cats and getting to know their unique personalities and observing their quirks.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three indoor cats, dr. Chan, Kruskal and Cholesky. We also have a feral outdoor cat, whose heart I am trying to warm at the moment. His name is Poopy.

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!
