I'm Julia

Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY

My name is Julia and I live in Brooklyn with my wife and 2 cats, Poppy & Milo.

I have experience taking care of cats for drop-in visits and vacation sitting. One of my cats, Milo, had a host of medical issues since we rescued him off the street so I am familiar with administering oral, topical, and injectable medications. Additionally, I am currently in nursing school which is helpful in taking care of cats with medical needs :)...
My name is Julia and I live in Brooklyn with my wife and 2 cats, Poppy & Milo.

I have experience taking care of cats for drop-in visits and vacation sitting. One of my cats, Milo, had a host of medical issues since we rescued him off the street so I am familiar with administering oral, topical, and injectable medications. Additionally, I am currently in nursing school which is helpful in taking care of cats with medical needs :).

I like to build a schedule with the cats I sit so that they can get acclimated to me. I find that even if the cat hides the whole time for my first few visits, it is helpful that I am hanging out for extended periods of time so they get used to my smell/presence!

I have looked after cats with a wide variety of personalities and even my own 2 cats act completely differently around new people! I look forward to working with your cat(s) no matter how shy or friendly (or a little mean) they are 🐈‍⬛🐈.

NOTE RE AVAILABILITY:
very limited availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays all day & Thursday AM.

Learn More About Julia

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 cats, Milo & Poppy. We adopted Poppy right before her first birthday and Milo at about 6 months old. Milo is a 2-year old tuxedo cat who loves to torment his older sister with his HIGH energy levels. Poppy is a 3-year old black cat who is very shy and stand-offish until she decides she loves you and becomes a total snuggle bug. She loves Milo even thought he can be SUCH a younger brother!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Consider what factors are most important to you in a cat sitter: cost, availability, time spent with cat, experience, do they own cats?, etc. Evaluate all potential cat sitters using these factors to find your perfect match!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I was born and raised in NYC so I am generally around during the holiday season since my family is still here.

This is the second time Julia has come to watch my cat, Pascal, and he loves her. Julia is wonderful to work with—super communicative, follows directions, and sends lots of photos.

Julia had great report with my cat (and me) the minute she walked in the door for our initial Meet & Greet. She was attentive to all of my instructions for my cat's care and was very quick to respond to chat messages. Overall it was a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to have her come and watch my kitty again!

Julia was awesome! She sent us lots of cute photo updates. More importantly, our cat was the least stressed we've ever seen her when we came home after a week away.

Julia was a fantastic cat sitter. My cats loved her, warmly greeting her and enjoying her attention. She followed all my instructions carefully, kept the litter box clean, fed them on schedule, and made time to play with them, keeping them happy and engaged. Her updates and photos made my time away stress-free, knowing they were well cared for. My cats are already looking forward to her next visit, and I highly recommend her services.

Julia cared for Tater Tot for several days. She was incredibly attentive to her every need, showing up on time for breakfast and dinner, brushing her, and playing with her. I felt completely comfortable with Julia in my home taking care of my queen 😻. Will definitely book again!

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 $30.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
