Learn More About Zuri

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Giving them the love and attention they want! Also, happy to sit and chill with them if that’s more their vibe.

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

Happy to jump on a call or stop by for an initial visit to learn more about your kitty and their personality to ensure that they will be comfortable. My schedule is pretty flexible so happy to work around your schedule!

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

I’d give them lots of space and time to adjust. Sometimes an occasional treat, but will let them set the pace.

Zuri was an excellent cat-sitter on every level. Clear communicator, on time, trustworthy, and affectionate with my cat. I was gone for nine days and had total peace of mind the whole time. Highly recommended.

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.

Brooklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
