i’m very cautious with animals and will follow every instruction given. i also take a million photos of every cat i meet so if you would like daily updates, please let me know (otherwise i won’t want to spam your phone)!

i look forward to meeting your fur babies!

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

i’ve been a cat sitter for friends & family for the past 5 years who have gone away on trips or have had last minute emergencies. i administer food/water & change litter and if the cat is playful, i dedicate lots of time for that!

What is your favorite cat toy?

springs! my youngest cat Lucky loves to bring his colorful spring toys to me when it’s time to play fetch. i also love cat wand toys and making them do flips LOL!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

patience and boundaries are essential for timid cats. especially in a setting where we are meeting for the first time, letting them approach you, sniff you and get to know your mannerisms is very important. i would never be loud or try to handle a cat that didn’t trust me yet and gets easily nervous.

She was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely willing to go above and beyond. From the start, she made me feel completely at ease leaving my cats in her care. She took the time to understand my cat’s personality and needs, and it truly showed in how comfortable and well-cared-for my pet was. I appreciated her thoughtful updates and the love she put into every visit. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to any cat parent looking for someone reliable and compassionate

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.

Bronx 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
