I'm Kate
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
Outside of cat sitting, I volunteer with a non-profit cat rescue group in Brooklyn, where I’m involved in TNR (Trap, Neuter, and Return) and fostering... Being a cat parent myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies, even when you have a pet sitter checking in on them. I get that worry, and my goal is to give you true peace of mind while you’re away. I make sure your cats are well cared for and comfortable, and I always send photos, videos, and detailed updates after each visit. If you don’t mind a little photo spam, I’m more than happy to send plenty of updates along the way.
Outside of cat sitting, I volunteer with a non-profit cat rescue group in Brooklyn, where I’m involved in TNR (Trap, Neuter, and Return) and fostering. Through this work, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages and needs, from tiny bottle-fed kittens to senior and special-needs cats. I’m comfortable giving fluids, administering injections (such as insulin or B12), eye and ear medications, oral medications (pills or liquid), asthma inhalers, and syringe feeding.
Most importantly, I genuinely love cats, probably a little too much. I treat every cat as if they were my own, and I can’t wait to meet yours.

Kate was great! Responsive and got along well with my cats. She was available last minute and administered subcutaneous fluids to my kidney cat like a pro.

Kate administered allergy shots to my cat for almost 2 years and was a delight to work with—knowledgeable, responsive, and great with my pet! I would highly recommend her for any of your cat sitting needs!

Kate is amazing! I can't go out of town unless she is available because no one else could possibly take as good of care of my kitties as she does. My cats have complicated feeding and medication needs and it does not phase her at all!

Kate was AMAZING. I highly recommend booking with her! from extremely detailed updates to lots of pictures and videos, I always knew that my cat was in good hands. Kate came twice a day to give my cat his medication and have some playtime Willie I was away, and she always went above and beyond. I will be booking with her again!

Kate was so loving and caring with my two kitties! She sent detailed updates with photos and videos each day and went above and beyond to help troubleshoot a potential food allergy. She is very experienced and it was a relief to know they were in safe hands while I was away!

Kate is just amazing. I hired her for a second vacation, and she did such a great job. I have 5 cats who are not comfortable with strangers, but Kate quickly became their friend and was able to pet them. She followed instructions perfectly, was very punctual, and showed genuine care and concern for my cats. I got detailed reports after her visits including pictures. I am so relieved to have found someone I can trust with my cats. Thank you, Kate!!!!

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!

Kate visited our cat over the holidays, and we couldn’t have been happier! From the first, at the meet & great, Kate was prompt & thorough, making sure that she had all the information she needed to care for Carmilla properly. Each day, we received a very detailed update about our cat’s health and well-being & the games they played together. These reports were completed with many wonderful photos of our pretty kitty! Kate even left a present for Carmilla on Christmas. We highly recommend her services! We plan to book her again in the future.

Kate understood our cat's spirit on a profound level. She updated us daily with photos and videos, as well as quantified details of her visit. We could see how happy he was. She went above and beyond to learn his favorite games and how he likes to be pet. Our cat is very particular about his sitters, and this is the first time we've come back from a long trip where he hasn't gone out of his way to let us know how pissed he was that we were gone. You know when you were a kid and your parents had a date night, and you idolized the local teenager they paid to watch you? It was like that.

Kate is AMAZING! I feel so lucky to have met such a great cat sitter. I can’t recommend her enough! Not only do my cats love Kate, but she provides incredibly detailed updates of her visits and has a thorough knowledge of the health and needs of cats. When I’m away, Kate visits my cats once a day to play with them, feed them, and clean their litter box. Her daily text updates include at least half a dozen pictures/videos and a long text description of their eating, litter box usage and general well-being. She also alerts me to any potential health issues and checks my cat’s teeth. I fully trust Kate to give my fur babies the absolute best care and it gives me peace of mind when I’m out of town knowing that she is looking out for them.

Kate was absolutely amazing with Wally! It was my first experience with her as a sitter but I could tell from the pics she took of him, that he really liked the care and attention she gave. He’s not easy to warm up to at first but he seemed to show so such affection towards Kate.

Kate helped us out when we were already out of town and our friend wasn’t able to look after our cat for the last weekend of our trip. Kate provided us with thorough updates and gave me so much peace of mind as it was our first trip away from our kitten and she was a bit stressed. We will absolutely contact Kate again in the future. Thank you!

Kate was a fantastic cat sitter. She always provided us with a thorough review of how her visit went and lots of pictures, which we really appreciated! Her updates assured us that our cat's happiness and wellbeing was always her number one priority, even if that meant spending a little extra time with the cat. We look forward to working with Kate again in the future.

Kate was amazing, as always! This was the second longer trip and third overall trip during which Kate checked on our two sweet cats.

Kate is an amazing cat sitter! She was so attentive to my cat Twig, and sent me very detailed daily updates! As a cat mom, being away from my kitty can be hard but receiving so many photos and videos of her while I'm away really brightened up my days.

Kate was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our two sweet cats for a longer time, so I was a bit nervous. But Kate's updates were so detailed and full of sweet pictures that I knew my cats were in good hands. It was very clear from the pictures that our cats trusted and really liked her and that she adores cats. :) Thank you so so much!
