Dana's Pawsome Cat Sitting Services

I'm Dana

Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY

I love making cats feel comfortable while their family is away, they deserve to be pampered! I grew up with cats (I can tell you all about my first cat, Patches) and am currently unable to own one, so what better way to get my cat fill than by offering sitting services! I've taken care of several cats while their parents were gone for a long stretch and those experiences have been so much fun. I love taking care and spending extra time with them. I currently work part-time in New York City, which gives me some flexibility for travel time... I love making cats feel comfortable while their family is away, they deserve to be pampered! I grew up with cats (I can tell you all about my first cat, Patches) and am currently unable to own one, so what better way to get my cat fill than by offering sitting services! I've taken care of several cats while their parents were gone for a long stretch and those experiences have been so much fun. I love taking care and spending extra time with them. I currently work part-time in New York City, which gives me some flexibility for travel time. I live in Brooklyn and am willing to travel within about a 5 mile radius on the subway to get to your cat, preferably within Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. I am willing to make exceptions should you be easily accessible on public transportation. If you see a date that says I am unavailable, feel free to check in. Depending on your location, I may be able to make it work.

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.

Dana was so great. She was communicative leading up to the sitting dates, and provided updates and pictures while we were away. She even brought in our packages! Thanks for taking such great care of Cal and being so kind all around

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!
