I have over six years of time spent sitting for various pets in the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York area but cats have always been my favorite. I have experience making homemade food, and administering topical and oral medications. I care deeply about your fury friends and strive to go above and beyond with their care needs. I enjoy visiting, setting out food first and then going about cleaning litter and water bowls. After everything’s set, it’s play time. I go at the cat’s pace and let them get to know me. I take locking up the doors very seriously too. Thank you for your consideration!

Learn More About Michaela

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I tend to gently put my foot in the door as I’m opening it, just to make sure there’s no runners, as well as double checking for anything they can get into while home alone. I also double check windows, curtains and doors before heading out. Air kisses and visually seeing them away from the door, usually with a treat, are best!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am available during holidays! The winter season gets booked up quite fast as well as the summer months, though many of my clients are teachers

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I am always very quiet when I enter, trying not to disturb their space as much as possible. After I’ve fed them, I tend to sit on the floor while the cat smells me, allowing them time to get used to me. I am familiar with cat body language and keep to whatever and wherever their most comfortable with me being.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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.

Princeton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
