I'm Sophia
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I know how hard it is to find a sitter... Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m an all around animal lover, foster mom, and mom to my tabby, Marcus. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, and I’ve been fostering, cat sitting, and taking care of my own boy for 2 years now.
I know how hard it is to find a sitter that you can trust, so I take care of all cats as if they were my own. I love to get to know each cat’s unique personality, no matter what that may be. I’m patient and loving, and I also have significant experience helping shy, undersocialized cats. :)
Learn More About Sophia
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love meeting new cats! I find it so fun and fulfilling to get to know each cat’s distinct personality. The best part about fostering and sitting is making a silly new friend.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes! I have a cat named Marcus. I thought it was such a funny name at first— I adopted him when he was 4 years old, so he came with the name and already responded to it. I’ve since learned that it’s a very fitting name for him.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I like to give anxious cats as much space as they need and lots of positive reinforcement. If they aren’t feeling brave enough to come out while I’m around, that’s okay! I’ll usually let them smell my hand when I walk in (if they’re open to it) and leave a treat while I do all the tasks.

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!
