Cat Sitting in Bronx, NY

Hi, my name is Steph 👋🐾
I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ cats for over five years, and it’s genuinely one of my favorite things to do. I love earning a cat’s trust, whether that means becoming their instant cuddle buddy or giving them respectful space while they decide if I’m worthy. I’m affectionate, patient, and really tuned into routines, so feeding times, clean litter, and daily habits are always handled with care.

I take my time getting to know each cat’s personality and comfort level... Hi, my name is Steph 👋🐾
I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ cats for over five years, and it’s genuinely one of my favorite things to do. I love earning a cat’s trust, whether that means becoming their instant cuddle buddy or giving them respectful space while they decide if I’m worthy. I’m affectionate, patient, and really tuned into routines, so feeding times, clean litter, and daily habits are always handled with care.

I take my time getting to know each cat’s personality and comfort level. Some want gentle company, some want full-on play sessions, and some just want someone who understands that they run the house. I’m great at reading those cues and adjusting to whatever makes them feel safest and happiest.

I also make communication a priority. You’ll get photo updates, little stories about their day, and reassurance that everything is going smoothly. I know how much it means to feel connected to your pet while you’re away.

At the end of the day, I just really love cats, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s fur baby seriously. Your cat will be in good hands, and they’ll be treated with the same love, respect, and attention I give to my own.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When I’m working with a new cat parent, I like to start by getting to know what makes their cat feel comfortable and cared for. I ask about their routines, little quirks, and anything that helps their cat feel safe at home. Before the first visit, I make sure I understand all the details so there’s no stress on your end. Once I’m with your cat, I keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how things are going. My goal is for both you and your cat to feel completely at ease and supported throughout the whole process.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make safety my top priority, both for your cat and your home. I follow all instructions closely, especially around feeding, doors, windows, and anything your cat should avoid. I’m careful about keeping the environment calm and secure, double-checking that everything is closed, locked, and exactly how you left it. I also keep a close eye on your cat’s behavior to make sure they’re comfortable, healthy, and not getting into anything they shouldn’t. Throughout the visit, I’ll update you so you always know your home and your fur baby are safe and well cared for.

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

, pressure-free environment. I let them stay in their favorite hiding spots and just let them get used to my presence first. I move slowly, speak gently, and only approach if they show signs that they’re comfortable. Sometimes it’s a few slow blinks from across the room, sometimes it’s a quiet moment sitting nearby while they decide if they trust me. I keep their routine steady and make sure they have everything they need to feel safe. Little by little, they usually warm up once they realize I’m patient, predictable, and there to make them feel at ease.

Stephanie was absolutely amazing. She watched my cat for 1 week, and she went above and beyond every day! I felt so safe with her in my home, and by the extensive photos and videos, I could tell my cat was in heaven with her. I consider her a cat whisperer! She is an excellent communicator, always responding promptly. I appreciated her sweeping the litter around the box (without me asking) and her creativity/humor in photos/videos she sent me. Cannot recommend her more!

Stephanie was great with our cats (and they are tough customers!) and left our house exactly as we left it. She was communicative and sent photos without us having to ever ask which was great! She also cleaned our litter which was very helpful. We would definitely have her watch our cats again.

Steph is seriously the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. She’s gentle, patient, and has this calm vibe that even my shy boy Fígaro couldn’t resist and he usually acts like he pays rent and doesn’t have to talk to anyone. I’d check my home camera and see him cuddled up next to her like they’d been best friends for years. She’s super reliable, keeps you updated without overwhelming you, and somehow makes the whole process completely stress-free. Honestly, if you’re lucky enough to book her, your cat might love her more than you.. but like in the best way lol

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!
