I'm David | Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY

I have been a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, having raised both cats and dogs since my early childhood. I am, by profession, an IT Specialist, but began, over the past few years, scaling back and working from home, which afforded me the opportunity to make cat-sitting a major focus. If asked about my general philosophy around cat-sitting, I would say this: many people view cats as being such self-sufficient creatures, and itā€™s easy for them to take for granted the notion that they are just fine when left alone. Being so familiar with them, and having spent as much time as I have taking care of other people's cats over the years, I realize how untrue this is. It is important for the cats, as well as their humans to have someone there--not just to feed them & clean their litter boxes, but to provide a consistent level of companionship and stress-relieving stimulation, if even only for a brief amount of time every day. I was born and raised in Brooklyn where I was surrounded by my familyā€™s cats and dogs until I went away to Stony Brook University for my undergraduate education. It was then that I experienced the sorrow of losing a pet for the fi...

Learn More About David

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been cat sitting on and off for 20 years now, but doing it on a consistent basis, professionally, for about 10 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I have to be honest and say that cat sitting is mostly a selfish endeavor. The serotonin Boost from the time spent with them is a treasured gift! But also, knowing that I am helping to put someone else's mind at ease while they are away from their beloved pet is a reward in and of itself.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I most certainly do have kitties of my own! They are Jadzia and Geordi, named after Star Trek characters šŸ––šŸ¾ #LLaP

David is an absolutely amazing cat sitter. Incredible communication - he took a TON photos and videos with my boys so I could see how well they were doing under his care. Heā€™s attentive, kind, and caring. 11/10 you should schedule cat sitting with David!

David always goes above and beyond. He's the best cat sitter I've ever had, hands down. You can tell that he loves cats, his photos are artistic and plentiful, and he's really easy to work with and talk to.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brooklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
