Learn More About Guljemal

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting since 2020, when I had to care for my mom's coworker's two cats while they were planning on moving across the country. I've most recently cat sit this year, for friends and family.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Be as thorough as possible in describing your needs! Cats can be mysterious enough on their own, so knowing what they prefer, when, and how, goes a long way!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am very flexible in accommodating holiday schedules. I do not observe many major holidays, and as such can be available.

Couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Our cat was just recently diagnosed with FIP and needed oral medications in combination with finishing up a dewormer. Guljemal was extremely communicative and prompt especially given how strict the FIP medication is, and did a wonderful job with administering medications and caring for Pepper.

I couldn't be happier with Guljemal's service. She was extremely kind and professional while staying in our home and caring for our epileptic cat. Frequent updates and photos and we didn't have to worry leaving him home. Will definitely be booking with her every time we go away!

Guljemal is the best and I feel relieved knowing that my cat is in great hands with her while I'm away. She sends frequent updates, follows my instructions, makes sure that he takes his medicine, and is extremely responsive. Thanks so much, Guljemal!

Guljemal did a fantastic job caring for my kitties. She did a wonderful job communicating about the wellbeing of my girls. They are shy and a bit stand off ish but they warmed right up to her! She also was able to get one of my kitties to take her meds with no issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:


  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
  • 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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!
