Cat Sitting in Jersey City, NJ

Hi, I’m Sharon and I’m very excited to meet your fur baby/babies! I’ve been cat sitting for friends and neighbors for the better part of 10 years and have decided to expand my sitting circle! I have two cats myself and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust and who will send you lots of photos while you’re apart!

Hi, I’m Sharon and I’m very excited to meet your fur baby/babies! I’ve been cat sitting for friends and neighbors for the better part of 10 years and have decided to expand my sitting circle! I have two cats myself and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust and who will send you lots of photos while you’re apart!

I have experience with shy, aggressive, clingy, and playful cats of all ages (including kittens as young as 8 weeks). I have also administered meds such as pills, ointments, and drops. I’m very active in TNR and rescue work in the community as well, and love to spoil all of the kitties I meet every day whether on the streets with food and treats, or in friends and hopefully YOUR homes!

I’m mostly available for feedings early mornings and early evenings, but can be flexible to accommodate your cat’s schedule.

Learn More About Sharon

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new cats, getting to learn their personalities, and providing them comfort and enrichment while their parents are away. One of my favorite moments is when you finally win a shy cat over, and they’re excited to see you walk through the front door instead of hiding under the sofa when they hear the door open.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two- Leica and Luna. Leica is a gorgeous grey cat- one of the softest, and definitely the sweetest cat I’ve ever met. She’s very loving, clingy, and sensitive, and loves playing hide and seek in her tunnel. Luna is my younger tortie- she’s an absolute angel who loves an aggressive head butt and prefers chirping to meowing. I hope she never outgrows her chirps as they’re the cutest thing ever. They both enjoy bird and squirrel watching out of the back windows, and Luna especially enjoys keeping an eye on the neighborhood from the front window.

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

I will set up time to come by for a ~30 minute meet and greet- both with the parents and the cats to make sure we’re a good fit. I like to try and make sure the cats are at least a little familiar with me prior to the start of our sitting period, so they’re a little more comfortable with me, and also get to know the layout of the home, where to find food, treats, litter box and supplies, toy bins, carriers (just in case), and ensure I have contact info for the vet, and a close friend / neighbor.

We were so lucky to find Sharon! We last minute had a situation where we needed a pet sitter for our two cats, one with severe anxiety and some medical issues (requiring oral meds). She was so so helpful and super responsive for the whole month we were away. We are so grateful and will definitely be working with her again!

Sharon did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties! She was very responsive, responsible, caring, and attentive! She even let us know when the light on our automatic cat feeder indicated it was time to change the battery, which is a huge help! We are delighted with her help and can't wait to book with her again!

She asked great questions when we first met and made sure to write things down. She double checked she got it right, which was a huge plus. Our cat enjoys the play time and the pets when she visits

Sharon was great! She was on time, communicative, and personable! She managed to get my shy cat out to say hi, a feat that family members have taken weeks to accomplish! 10/10 ❤️

Sharon went above and beyond for us and our 3 boys! We had just moved to the area and I didn’t know anyone and was stressing about who would take care of them while we went on a much needed trip to visit family over the holidays. She exceeded our hopes and our shy babies took to her almost immediately! I am an extremely anxious person and have never left kids or pets with anyone but family , and she eased our fears. I did not worry once while we were away and we could not be more grateful. She constantly kept us updated with pictures and videos. We would recommend her ten times over and will absolutely book her for any future sitting needs!

Sharon was WONDERFUL! she is very friendly, kind and calm. My cat is skittish and nervous with strangers however the first time she met Sharon she walked right up to her. I received many videos and photos during the visits, which made me feel confident knowing my cat looked happy and well taken care of. I will be using Sharon in the future for all vacation needs. I highly recommend.

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 $32.00. 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!
