I'm Tara | Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY
Hi! I’d love to give your kitties the love and care they need while you’re away. MY BACKGROUND: I've grown up taking care of all kinds of pets, including two adorable cats. I've always been an animal lover, and a few years ago, I adopted a very sweet cat named Rupert. He's the light of my life, so I know how important is to know your fur baby is in the right hands! I'll give you a thorough update after every visit, including photos, videos, and notes on your cat's behavior, such as their eating and litter habits. I will ensure your cat receives exactly what they need in terms of nutrition, health care, play time, etc. I’m very patient and always respectful of cats’ boundaries. I'll make sure to know your cat's favorite toys and snacks as well as their vet...
Tara's Reviews
Chelsea
Honestly my cats love Tara more than they love me!! I've used a few different folks from Meowtel and I will always look for Tara first!!! She takes so much time and care and sends the best updates, and I can tell my cats really love her. I mean it when I say Rochelle runs out from under the bed to meet NO ONE but Tara - I can't thank her enough!
Jesse
4th time booking Tara, was great as always! Quick responses, great updates, and lots of photos/videos. 100% recommended!
Leia
We are so grateful we found Tara. Normally my shy cat hides under the bed when new people come over, but Tara got her to come out and receive some love (and take some cute pictures). She took such great care of both of our cats and was very communicative. We’ll definitely hire her again!
Jesse
Third or fourth time booking Tara, she was fantastic as always. lots of photos and videos, great updates, fast responses, and a super happy kitty!
Jesse
Second time we’ve booked Tara and couldn’t have been happier. Very detailed and timely updates, lots of photos and videos of her and the kitty having a great playtime, and a very happy cat upon returning. Couldn’t have asked for more! 10/10

Frequently Asked Questions
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
