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 is fantastic. We have one cat who can be difficult with new people, but Katelyn brought so much patience and experience to the situation. Katelyn’s updates were great and the cats were at ease when we returned—what I think is an indicator of a great cat sitter. I highly recommend Katelyn!

She was amazing, she took excellent care of my cats, communicated and updated regularly about their well being, give their medicine, food, cleaned their litter and played with them.

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 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!
