As a self-proclaimed cat lady, your cat’s comfort and happiness are my top priority, and YES, I will absolutely tell them how adorable they are the entire time ☺️
Every cat has their own personality and I’m here to honor that, whether your kitty is a playful social butterfly, an introvert who warms up slowly, or a professional napper.
You can expect plenty of photos and videos with your updates. I love capturing the little moments that show your cat’s personality. Your cat will be in patient, attentive, and genuinely loving hands, and you’ll be able to enjoy your time away knowing they’re right at home.
Learn More About Christine
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Essex is my 6-year-old ball of fluff - equal parts sweet and spicy, depending on his mood. I adopted him in 2020, and he’s been living the spoiled life ever since. He loves playing fetch, watching (and sneaking up on) birds from the windowsill, and napping on his favorite blanket.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My goal is for you to leave feeling confident your cat is in great hands. We'll chat about your cat's needs and dates, then set up a meet and greet before the first visit. During the meet and greet we'll cover everything - feeding routines, litter box care, favorite toys, treats, and hiding spots. I'll also test the keys and/or access codes with you to ensure smooth entry. Most importantly, it's your chance to share any questions or concerns. I care deeply about building trust and keeping communication open, so you can feel completely at ease while your cat is in my care! 🐾
Are you usually available during holidays?
I’m happy to offer care during most holidays. Feel free to contact me with your dates, and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Making a shy or nervous cat feel safe is one of my favorite things. I try to create a calm and gentle presence, speaking in a low, calm voice and avoiding sudden movements. I usually sit on the floor so I’m on their level and allow the cats to relax in their own time.

Christine not only performed the tasks asked if her, she brought treats and took pics and videos every day to keep me a breast of my kitties' activities. Highly recommended and I'll be a repeat customer. Thanks, Christine.

This was my first time using Meowtel, and I’ve only had my cat for a few months. Needless to say I was a bit nervous going on vacation for about two weeks, hoping my cat would be okay while I was gone. Christine came and was more than fantastic. She spent a lot of quality time with my cat and he was definitely doing well while I was gone. The whole thing could not have gone any better, and I am extremely happy with Christine’s work and patience with my cat. I’ll 100% be contacting her again to babysit the next time I’m out of down for an extended time. 10/10

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.
North Bergen cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
