I'm Xavier

Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY

I’m a Brooklyn-based cat king who’s had at least one cat the majority of my life, about 26 years of cat-care experience in total.

I’m also a filmmaker-writer-editor who often works remotely (so expect thoughtful photos, vids and updates on your little one while you’re away :)

Since I always visit and care for my friends’ cats whenever they’re out of town, and as I’ve used Meowtel occasionally for my own cat ...

Since I always visit and care for my friends’ cats whenever they’re out of town, and as I’ve used Meowtel occasionally for my own cat (a black cat named Boo!), I thought I might as well sign up to make some extra cash while meeting new people & pets in my community.

Cats hold a special place in my heart for their individuality and independence - two things I’ll honor when I’m looking after your kitty. In the words of the legendary Eartha Kitt, "A dog may be man's best friend, but a cat is everyone's favourite feline fatale".

Hit me up :)

Learn More About Xavier

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a black cat/roommate, six years of age, named “Boo!” He’s fiesty and loves-hard so I’m comfortable with non-cuddly cats who like to dictate the vibe.

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

I generally like to let the cat parents set the tone. Every parent and every cat are unique, so I like to communicate thoroughly up-front to ensure there are no surprises down the line. I match the parents’ and cats’ energies.

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

I give less social cats adequate space and time to get to know me. I’m also sure to move and speak thoughtfully and acknowledge that I’m a guest in their space.

Xavier was an exceptional cat sitter! I was so relieved to know that my babies were in capable hands. He was communicative + kind, shared photos and videos and thorough updates on how my kitties were doing while I was away. I would highly recommend having Xavier cat sit your little ones! <3

Xavier is an incredible cat sitter. He is extremely attentive and genuinely cares about the cats he watches. As a cat owner himself, he absolutely adores his own cat, and it really shows in the way he treats every cat he cares for. He approaches each one with patience, affection, and a lot of thoughtfulness, making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. It’s clear that he treats every cat like it’s his own, which gives you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I would highly recommend Xavier to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter.

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!
