I'm Delilah
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I am a great listener so I follow directions well from owners, especially if medication needs to be given. I have experience providing topical ointments, eye/ear drops and medication mixed in food. I know how to make cats comfortable when administering medication... Hi Meowtel cat parents! I love cats and grew up playing with them as my family adopted a few cats over the years. I know how to handle different cat personalities with my calm presence. Whether your cat is super affectionate and eager to play or shy and skittish, I know how to work with them. If your cat hides under the bed, I know to give them space, but also how to comfort them with their favorite toys and treats (if allowed).
I am a great listener so I follow directions well from owners, especially if medication needs to be given. I have experience providing topical ointments, eye/ear drops and medication mixed in food. I know how to make cats comfortable when administering medication. I am very observant/detail-oriented and therefore am quick to notice when a cat is in distress, needs play-time, needs some pets or extra affection and so on. I have experience with cat sitting for friends and fostering cats with the Best Friend Animal Society and the Brooklyn Cat Cafe. I am usually the person animals are drawn to as I give plenty of affection and attention they need and have no trouble keeping cats entertained, especially kittens with lots of high energy.
I follow all Covid safety precautions. For example, I always wash my hands after being outdoors and will wear a mask the whole time during cat visits if desired or requested.
A little about me: I studied psychology at Syracuse University (graduated in 2015) and worked in the non-profit world for 3.5 years. In my last job, I was an Employment Specialist at a non-profit for formerly homeless folks. Currently, I work at an art school as an academic advisor. My hobbies include reading personal development books, journaling, meditating, going to comedy shows, and nature walks.

Delilah was great! Her conscientious and detailed updates put my mind at ease, and my cat was happy and relaxed when I came home. Special shoutout for her learning and adjusting the automatic feeder timer.

Delilah was such a great sitter for my cat Luna. This was my first time getting a Meowtel sitter so I was nervous how Luna would respond to having a stranger feed her, but Delilah’s daily updates and photos kept my anxiety at bay. She did a great job feeding her, cleaning her litter box and making sure she got quality play time. I highly recommend Delilah to watch your baby!!

Delilah was beyond the "cats meow" during my trip away from my cat (Zoey). She was super responsive and did an amazing job including cleaning up a minor mess Zoey had left on the floor in one of the rooms, alongside a quick Litter box refresh. Talk about going above and beyond here! She also did great with helping Zoey with nightly medication alongside playing with too, was a great experience all around : ) Cannot recommend her enough for those who need a purrfect pet sitter, stop where you are and choose Delilah!

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!
