I'm Dena | Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY

Updates: 1. I am only accepting reservations from past clients at this time so that they have a chance to book with me before my December holiday calendar is full. 2. Please note that I can only accept reservations in buildings with an elevator or homes/apartments that are maximum three floors up (I cannot walk up more than three floors at this time) As I continue to recover, I will update these limitations and will hopefully be back in full force sooner than later. If you have any questions, always feel free to message me before booking (I usually respond within 5 mins during the day)! Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to caring for your fur babes 😸 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome to Black Girl Meowgic! I'm Dena, your cat's new favorite sitter! As a dedicated cat enthusiast, my journey from pawrent to five-star cat cuddler has been nothing short of purrfection. From playful kittens to wise seniors to injured/healing furballs, I've got a gift for making every feline feel comfortable and safe. Patience - Picture this: a shy fur baby who once hid away from every sudden movement, now insisting on relaxing cuddle sessions and endless pets. That's just one tale from my long list of feline success stories! My patience and genuine love for our whiskered friends speak volumes. Adaptability - Looking for someone to just to check on the food/water bowl levels? Need a low-ener...

Learn More About Dena

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

I've cat sat for more than three years with friends' cats + about a year with Meowtel. I have experience administering oral medications and also open to learning how to do other types of medication.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I just love being around cats in general whether they want to be cuddled up with me or watch me from a safe distance.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I used to co-pawrent my kitten name Grace. She ended up staying with her other pawrents when we all moved (my new roommates at the time didn't allow pets), but still visit and cat sit her to this day.

Dena was amazing with my boys. Provided great updates throughout and won over my shy guy by the end. Would 100% book her again!

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

Brooklyn 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.
