Cat Sitting in Jersey City, NJ

Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾🧡

I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat mom to my orange tabby, Soybean, who has been by my side for the past 7 years! Over the years, I’ve also spent plenty of time living with and caring for my friends’ cats, including sharing a home with other cats for 2–3 years. So I’m comfortable with all kinds of feline personalities—from playful and cuddly to independent and a little more particular about their personal space. 😸

I love playing with cats and keeping them engaged, and I’m also comfortable with basic brushing and care... Hi, I’m Katie! 🐾🧡

I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat mom to my orange tabby, Soybean, who has been by my side for the past 7 years! Over the years, I’ve also spent plenty of time living with and caring for my friends’ cats, including sharing a home with other cats for 2–3 years. So I’m comfortable with all kinds of feline personalities—from playful and cuddly to independent and a little more particular about their personal space. 😸

I love playing with cats and keeping them engaged, and I’m also comfortable with basic brushing and care. Most importantly, I pay close attention to the little things—eating habits, litter box routines, behavior changes, and whatever makes each cat feel comfortable and happy.

Outside of being a cat mom, my friends describe me as a super organized person with a bubble personality. I’ll make sure your kitty’s routine is followed carefully and that you receive thoughtful updates while you’re away.

I’m currently offering in-home cat sitting visits, so I’d love to come to your kitty’s home where they’re most comfortable rather than hosting cats at my own home. I know that staying in their familiar environment can make a big difference, especially when their favorite human is away. 🏡🐈

I’m excited to meet you and your furry family member, and hopefully become your kitty’s new favorite visitor! 💕

Learn More About Katie

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

I have been cat sitting for almost 3 years now informally through the request of my friends who are also cat moms and dads, but formally through an app like Meowtel is a first timer for me.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have an orange tabby named Soybean whom I adopted from an overloaded animal shelter during college. He has travelled with me domestically and loves to explore new places. I have also what you can call “god cat sons” that I have lived with for 2-5 years back in college and even now with my friends and their names are DaQin and Mashu.

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

Before the first sitting, I’d love to meet you and your kitty either virtually or in person. We can go over their personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, litter box preferences, medications (if applicable), and anything else that helps me care for them the way you do. I’m also a big notetaker to assure I have captured everything, so I’ll take notes on your kitty’s routine and any important details—from their favorite toys and hiding spots to things they don’t like. I’m a planner and a detail-oriented person, so I like to make sure we’re on the same page before you leave. During each visit, I’ll follow their usual routine, provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, spend time playing (depending on what they prefer), and keep an eye out for anything unusual. I’ll send the cat parents photos as well during my visit!

I needed to find someone to care for my cats quickly, and I'm so happy that Katie responded! I have a schedule that my cats are used to, and Katie followed the instructions precisely. She sent me updates during each visit, and I had peace of mind during my trip. I came back to a tidy house, with the cats fed and happy. I recommend Katie as an amazing sitter!

Katie was fabulous! Even though our little man is a bit spicy and grumpy, she managed to get some great shots of him and gave such thorough reports. 10/10 recommend!

Katie is such a caring and thoughtful cat sitter. She sent me so many pictures of my cats and her playing with them. I knew my cats were in good hands while I was away!

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!
