Katelyn did a wonderful job taking care of my cats! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. I really appreciated the regular photo updates, it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned. I would absolutely recommend Katelyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful cat sitter, and I will definitely be booking her again! 🐾

Katelyn came to visit before my vacation and met with me and Mocha. While I was away Katelyn communicated with me daily and even did more than expected by vacuuming and sweeping the litter area. Highly recommended and will use Katelyn again to care for my fur baby.

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.
West Long Branch 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 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!

Katelyn was very nice, personable and communicated with me regarding Mister. Mister is not an easy cat with strangers and he took to her well in a couple of days. Most folks can't pet him for a week. She kept me informed and sent me pictures. I'll be using her again.

This is the second time that Katelyn cared for my Mister. He is not an easy cat. He is standoffish and takes a while to adjust to people. She never complains about him and knows that if she combs him he will be happy. She is a pleasure and I haven't had any issues.
