Cat Sitting in South Orange, NJ
I have watched numerous cats over the years, and am experienced with their variety of quirks, personality traits and temperaments.
I do have experience administering oral medication in pill-form, liquid supplements, as well as topical ointments/ flea preventatives, and eyedrops/ eardrops.; I am open to learning other methods of medication administration if you feel your cat would be comfortable with a new person handling this, feel free to reach out to discuss your specific situation... I have had a cat ever since I was a child! Hitchcock is my first boy, a sleek Bombay. A couple of years later I adopted Nancy, a sweet, quiet Munchkin kitty.

Our cats really enjoyed their time with Kim! She even got Ham, who can be shy, to come out of her shell. Kim was great at providing updates and following all cat care directions, which put us at ease while we were away.

Kimberly was a fantasic cat sitter for Soba and Miso! They were given play time, fed the right amounts for dinner, gave treats often! She even made sure our water fountain was working fine and if it wasn't, made sure that water dish was given and topped off every visit!

Kim was a superstar! Reliable and sweet and friendly. Played with the kitties and fed them, and sent daily pics and updates. It’s clear that she loves cats and I could tell that my cats really liked her back. I’d absolutely book Kim again and would heartily recommend her to anyone else.

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.
South Orange 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 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!

Kimberly is always amazing with our boys! she sends us photos each day she visits and details everything which is so helpful when we’re away! We know the boys are spoiled and loved on because they come home asking us for more treats thinking they get them all the time :) We lnow that the boys are in good hands whenever we need to travel because of Kimberly.
