My name is Renee Shapiro and I am a recent graduate from Rutgers University! I am a sociology major , but I began as a Veterinary and biomedical sciences major! Although I have switched my career ambitions, my love for animals never wavered. I love all animals and strive to give each one my undivided care and attention as if it was my own. Animals bring me joy and happiness and that is something I am grateful for! I express my gratitude by providing honest and trustworthy companionship to every animal. It is my pleasure to keep your fur baby safe and sound!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy the calmness that cats bring about. They have a demeanor about them that is very suave , and is nice to be around. There’s also cats that have unexpected amounts of energy, and it is wonderful to have fun with them when they are so full of life!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation was with a black and white kitty named Van Gogh. He was 5 or 6 years old, and only had one ear. He was the sweetest cat I’ve met, and he never stopped purring. He would fall asleep on my lap and I wouldn’t move a muscle so as not to disturb him. I miss him to this day! He’s okay, his parents just came back from vacation and didn’t need any more cat sitting!

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

While cat sitting, the safety of the cats and the home is my priority. Because of this, I will dutifully keep watch on all exits as well as the surroundings. I will not let anything happen to the cat by watching out for any irregular behaviors, and addressing any potential hazards.

Renee is an absolutely fabulous cat-sitter -- she sends loads of pictures, she knows exactly how to make our beloved Milton happy, and we would trust her to take care of our precious furry family member any time. We never have to worry that Milton is hungry, lonely, or sad whenever Renee comes to visit.

Renee did a fantastic job watching my cat Willow! She communicated each day what time she would arrive and sent many pictures, videos, and updates. She spent time playing with Willow and making sure she was happy and well fed. Highly recommend!

I went to another country for a week and I was so worried about leaving my cats alone. Renee eased my worries with lots of videos and photos and I was happy to see them. I no longer felt as worried. also my cats love her too so that’s a plus!

I had a cat sitter cancel on me last minute and I was panicking on finding a new sitter. Renee accepted my request on very short notice, over a holiday week. I'm very thankful for her flexibility. She took wonderful care of my two cats, regularly sending me pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a cat sitter.

Renee is an absolutely marvelous cat-sitter. She took excellent care of our Milton, she sent lots of pictures and videos documenting their time together, and he especially seemed to like it when she brushed him! Be assured that you can trust Renee with your precious pet just like we did.

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.

Cypress cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
