Learn More About Bernadette

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have around 8 years of cat sitting experience. Going all the way back to college, when I would watch my friends cats. I now continue to do so for friends and family who live throughout the NY area. I always have very good experiences with the cats I babysit, and I’ve created very strong bonds with them which always makes my friends comfortable when they leave their cats to travel.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love how different each cat is. Cats are so complex and sensitive, and being able to observe an adapt to make them feel safe while their owner is away is such a gratifying thing to do.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 4 year old rescue Tabby cat named Caillou - I got him 2 and a half years ago. He is the ruler of the household. He loves his daily biscuit kneading on my stomach and chin scratches. He runs the house and I am happy to serve him!!! He is very happy and healthy and that makes me a very proud parent!!!

I have an anxious cat who gets separation anxiety and starts biting the fluff off his tail. She was very sensitive to his quirks. She cat sat for me at my apt when I went on week-long trips or longer trips, both staying at my apt or daily visits to my apt. She gave him lots of attention, love, and made sure to send me daily photos of my cat. I felt confident while I was away that my cat was being loved and cared for they same way I would.

Frequently Asked Questions

Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
