I'm Jennifer
Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY
When I care for your cat, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I follow all instructions carefully, provide fresh food and wate... I’m a dedicated cat sitter and a lifelong cat lover. I’ve had cats my entire life, so I truly understand their behavior, routines, and unique personalities. Caring for cats is not just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously.
When I care for your cat, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I follow all instructions carefully, provide fresh food and water, keep the litter box clean, and offer playtime and affection based on your cat’s preferences. I’m patient with shy cats and attentive to energetic or curious ones.
What sets me apart is my real-life experience with cats and my calm, caring approach. I treat every cat as if they were my own and always respect your home. You can trust me to give your cat the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.

Jennifer was absolutely phenomenal caring for my two cats while I was away. From the very beginning, she was communicative, responsive, and always available whenever I had questions or wanted an update. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my cats were in such capable and compassionate hands. She went above and beyond in every way to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being, and she treated them as if they were her own. I came home to two relaxed, content cats, which says everything about the quality of care she provided. Jennifer is, without a doubt, the best cat sitter I've ever had. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who is reliable, kind, attentive, and truly exceptional with animals. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!

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.
Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!
