Hi, I’m a longtime cat foster and sitter who understands that every cat has their own personality and quirks. I have hands-on experience caring for cats with digestive issues and special diets, so I’m comfortable managing sensitive tummies, giving medication, and keeping a close eye on any changes. I’m patient with shy or nervous cats and never rush interactions, I let them come to me when they’re ready. I also love sending daily updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I’d be happy to get to know your cat and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three kitties at home! A black kitten named Pixie, a large orange mainecoon named Simba, and a little tuxedo kitten named Tobey. They’re all so different with their personalities and different in age and therefore my approach with each is very different. I also have experience fostering kittens and it is so important for me to always have cats in my life as much and as many as possible.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always double check that all doors and windows are secure before I leave and make sure the cat is safely inside. I have a lot of experience cat-proofing from taking home fosters, so I’m careful to keep anything unsafe out of reach, like plants or small objects. I follow any instructions you provide about alarms, locks, and routines. During visits, I check food, water, and litter to be sure your cat is healthy and comfortable. I’m very careful with keys and never share access. I also send regular updates so you know everything is safe and secure.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Patience is key. Cats can be rightfully anxious around strangers because cats are both predators and prey. So this informs my personal approach in always respecting and taking the cat’s boundaries and feelings into consideration. I focus on creating a calm environment and giving them plenty of space. I sit at their level so I’m less intimidating and let them come to me when they’re ready. I avoid direct eye contact at first and use a soft voice so they can get used to me. If they seem interested, I’ll gently offer a treat or a toy. I’ve worked with a lot of fosters who needed extra time to warm up, so I’m very patient and never rush the process.

Sapir was awesome! My normally friendly kitty was a little nervous when she first came by, but she still made sure his litter was cleaned and he was taken care of. He soon warmed up and came out to say hi and she played with him and kept him very content! Super easy and trustworthy experience!

Sapir was phenomenal for the whole week of overnight stays with my cat, giving her space and time to get used to unfamiliar territory with a new person in the home and me gone. She went above and beyond what I asked of her and I would definitely use her again!

Sapir was great and took wonderful care of my cat, Cheddar. She’s easy to reach, communicative, and kind. She always made sure to send updates and photos which made me feel all that much more comfortable being away. I recommend her to care for your animals. Thank you, Sapir!

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!
