Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I will adapt to your cat's needs, I think that's the most important part of the cat and sitter relationship. Each one has a unique personality and I welcome learning each one.
Happy to bring in mail and/or packages if need be, as well.
I'd love to hear from you before a potential reservation in made just to make sure we can coordinate everything!
**Please note, that the cat in my picture is not mine, I sadly do not have my own. Tuxy is a former barn cat where I work and is happily an indoor cat now.

Dana is an amazing pet sitter! One (of many) standout facts is that she asks for information up front (written guides, visuals of medicine applications etc etc) so that she is prepared. This is on top of the initial meet and greet! She always sends videos of my Gizmo as well as detailed descriptions of his behaviors, and their shared activities. I've used Dana twice now (including with a key for independence) and I would recco her in a heartbeat.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat-sitter for our weekend trip! Dana was responsive and communicative, sending photos, videos, and updates over the weekend. She went above and beyond making sure our cat was comfortable and happy. Definitely recommend!

Dana really went above and beyond for my kitties. she charmed jellybean right from the start and understood that Ellie will have to come to her at her own pace. she was really excellent at communicating and checking in regularly. thanks Dana!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
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 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!
