I'm Carina
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I’m a cat lover, and I have so much respect for their firm boundaries and ungovernable nature.... Hello! I’m so excited to meet your furry family member. I’ve been a foster mom to three cats, and I really miss it after moving to a place that doesnt allow pets. I have experience with cats who take medication in their food and applying topical medications.
I’m a cat lover, and I have so much respect for their firm boundaries and ungovernable nature. I like to let new cats let me know their comfort levels around touch by letting them lead in getting close when I reach my hand out for an introductory sniff. I know how important enrichment and play are, and I always make time for it at least twice daily. I also love a good cuddle, and it’s always rewarding to build up to that with a new cat friend.
Learn More About Carina
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
As a former foster parent, I’ve been sitting for friends and family for the last three years! It helps the cat shaped void in my heart.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love building trust and earning the affection of a new cat friend. It’s also so much fun to watch them jump and run around during play time.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
My first foster, Carmen, was an extremely shy cat. She hid in various corners for the first week of her arrival. I would just sit in the room with her for an hour or two at a time and play music or read to her. It took hand feeding her a Churu for her to finally get comfortable with being touched, and from there she became a lap cat within the first month!

Carina is an incredibly attentive and reliable cat sitter. She genuinely understands cats and takes the time to earn their trust, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Carina is communicative, responsible, and always goes above and beyond. As someone who has fostered cats with her, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply she cares about animals and how seriously she takes their well-being. I would trust Carina with any cat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable sitter.

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!
