As a proud cat mom of two and a lifelong animal lover, I know firsthand that cats thrive on consistency and respect for their boundaries, which is why I tailor every visit to your kitty's unique personality and routine.
My dedication to felines goes beyond my own home; I have a deep passion for taking care of the stray cats in my neighborhood community and actively coordinate with my neighbors to ensure they are fed, sheltered, and kept safe. Whether your own cat is highly social or a timid soul who prefers plenty of space, I bring that same level of deep community care and attentiveness to your home, focusing entirely on minimizing their stress by maintaining their normal household structure. My visits include timely feeding, fresh water, diligent litter box care, engaging playtime, and the exact amount of attention they want. I am completely comfortable administering medications, handling specific care instructions, and sending you detailed updates with photos and videos after every visit so you can enjoy absolute peace of mind.
Because I work a full-time job during the week, my weekday availability for drop-ins in the Jersey City area begins promptly after 4:00 PM, while my weekends are completely open anytime.
Please feel free to message me with any questions or specific scheduling needs, as my main priority is keeping your furry family members safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for about 5 years now! I have experience with feeding, litter care, medication management and keeping them entertained and enriched with playtime
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes! I have 2 boy cats! Bunbun and Beanie :) They are the loves of my life and they mean the absolute world to me
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I like to give them space and time to warm up to me in these cases. Cats of course come with different types of personalities and I understand that every cat has their own routine and boundaries.

Daniela is great and trustworthy! She truly knows how to play with cats, offer them stimulation and love and cuddles. She goes out of the way to help us out around the house and to fulfill my cats’ little quirks. My babies are visibly satisfied and happy and I will definitely be looking for her 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 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!

Daniela has taken care of my cats since they were babies. They absolutely love her. Always takes care of my little furballs and they treat her like family. Has her own cats she’s had since they were born (bottle fed) so you knows she’s great with them at all ages. 10/10 would recommend
