Learn More About Sapir

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 wonderful! We FaceTimed prior to her sitting so we could get acclimated and during her visits, she updated me often and made sure my baby was happy and healthy!

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Brooklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
