I'm Shairi | Cat Sitting in Bronx, NY

Hello. My name is Shairi (shy-air-re) and I am a born and raised New Yorker, artist, and Certified Cat Lady™! I’ve owned 3 cats in my life, a beautiful white shorthair named Casper, an active long-haired calico named Muffin, and a feisty gray shorthair named Honey. I currently do not own a cat due to restrictions in my residence, but I’m absolutely dying to take care of your baby instead! I’m a cool and calm character that takes a gentle and easy approach to pet care. I respect your cat’s personality. I take it easy with the skiddish or shy and never push them out of their comfort zone. If your...

Learn More About Shairi

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

I believe in open and clear communication. I meet with them, ask about the cats, ask about what the owner would like me to do, gather important information such as information about vets, medical care and medication, feeding, etc and make we are on the same page.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. I am available for all holidays. I cam do overnight stays or visits whichever the owner requests for thier pet.

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

I speak softly and move gently. I don’t push them to interact with me since they might do that when they are comfortable. I check to make sure that they aren’t sick or injured if they are in hiding.

Shairi is a natural leader and problem solver. She can take on any challenge and follow through until she is successful. She communicates super clearly and is a strong teacher and strainer. She presents things in a way that anyone can understand. She is sharp, she is caring and fun, and everyone wants to be on her team.

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

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 $35.00. 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.
