Learn More About Shar

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Every cat is different—some are super cuddly, others like their space—and I enjoy figuring out what makes them happy. I also really enjoy looking into their eyes; there’s something special about the way cats communicate through their gaze. I love watching their gracious body movements and playing with them—it’s always fun to see how they interact with their toys. It’s so rewarding when they start to trust me and show affection. Plus, I get to spend time with them, whether it’s petting, playtime, or just relaxing while they nap. It’s definitely the best part of the job!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

First, find someone who truly understands cats—every cat is different, so it’s important to have a sitter who respects their personality and knows how to handle them. Look for someone with experience and who can offer a calm, patient approach. It’s also a good idea to ask for references or read reviews from other cat owners. Make sure they’re comfortable with your cat’s needs, whether that’s giving medication, following a routine, or keeping them entertained with playtime. Communication is key, so find someone who will keep you updated with photos or messages so you can feel connected while you’re away. And, of course, trust your gut—if you feel good about the sitter and your cat’s comfortable, you’ve found the right fit!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I’d say my favorite cat toy is the classic wand toy with feathers. There’s just something about how it gets cats so excited, like they’re hunting prey. I love watching them chase it, pounce, and jump—it's always a fun time! It’s also a great way to bond with them since you’re playing together. Every cat has their own way of interacting with it, which makes each play session feel a little different. Plus, it’s one of those toys that never gets old for them!

Shar was amazing! Hands down one of the best sitters I’ve ever had. I’m a self-professed anxious cat parent and I was the least stressed I’ve ever been leaving my furbaby behind while I traveled. She was able to charm my shy boy out of his shell and I got so many great pictures of him having a blast during playtime!

Shar was great! Even though my very shy kitties hid from her the whole time, she took great care of them over my weekend away, sent me regular updates, and followed all instructions. I hope she is available again next time I have to be away for a few days.

Shar was fantastic with our 2 cats! She immediately got to know their personalities and kept them both happy the whole time we were away. Her photos captured them perfectly and she gave great updates. I highly recommend her services!

Shar has been amazing with my kitty Miko! She’s calm, patient, and really takes the time to understand his personality. Whether it’s giving him his meds or just making sure he’s comfortable, I always feel at ease knowing he’s in her care. She’s dependable and truly cares. Highly recommend!

I’ve known Shar for over a year. She’s taken care of my cats, Sam and Dean, numerous times, including short sits during my work trips and longer stays. She’s also cared for my daughter’s cat, Milo, on several occasions. Shar is an experienced cat sitter, and it shows in how she handles my boys. Dean, being a skittish cat, can be tricky, but Shar’s patience and calm nature helped him warm up to her. She’s dependable, patient, and genuinely cares about my cats’ well-being. Shar also sent frequent updates, including amazing photos and videos of my boys, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cats love her, and I can’t recommend her enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bronx cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

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.
