Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I’ll use any excuse to show you pictures of my cats (they’re the cutiest in the world), if there’s a cat in my lap all plans are postponed until further notice (the next time it’s time to eat), if there’s a cat at the party that’s who I’m taking to (way better than humans).
There is no greater feeling in the world than meeting a new cat fr... I am the definition of a cat lady.

There is no greater feeling in the world than meeting a new cat friend and winning them over and I can’t wait to get your cat to love me! I’m happy to send you photos and updates from my visits so you can rest easy that your babies are well taken care of while you’re away.
I have a lifetime of experience cat-sitting for friends and family and am comfortable administering medicine orally, if need be.
Let me be friends with all your cats!!
Learn More About Marina
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
As much as I wish I could, I can’t own 100 cats. Cat sitting is the perfect opportunity to meet as many cats as possible without having to bring them all into my tiny Brooklyn apartment!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two! Kitty (11 years old) was my birthday present to myself and Gary (9 years old, though he will always be a baby at heart) was a birthday present from my SO. Both are rescues and Gary is a bit of an anxious boy.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Respect their boundaries and let them show me what they’re comfortable with. This is true of all cats, but anxious cats especially need time to adjust to changes like a new human. More often than not, kitties just need some quality time together to get used to you in order to trust you. And treats never hurt.

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 $31.00. 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!
