We've used Gwen to watch over our floofs several times now and she is the best! She is so attentive to our kitties and provides very detailed updates and photos. Our kitties both love her and are content whenever we have to be away

This was our 2nd time using Gwen and she’s great! She always sends a ton of photos and is very communicative. Our kitties are always happy and taken care of when we get home and I will always look to Gwen when I go out of town!

Gwen is amazing! We had absolutely nothing to worry about, knowing our cats were in good hands while we were away for an extended period of time for the holidays. She was very communicative and followed all instructions regarding our cat’s eating preferences, quirks, etc. She also gave detailed and thorough updates with photos on each visit. Could not recommend her enough!

Katrina

Gwen is amazing with all cats. She was very caring and attentive to my late senior cat and was able to follow a very specific and ever changing meds schedule .. My super shy boy adores her and it is always great to see photos of him out and about playing. My most recent adoptee took to her immediately and loves his play time with Gwen. Both are always very relaxed and happy on my return. It makes travel so much easier knowing Gwen is taking care of them.

Gwen is the BEST cat sitter and we will always go to them first when we need a sitter for our two cats. Their updates are detailed and they send great pictures. Our younger kitten has a lot of energy while our older cat is more chill - Gwen always finds a way to give them both attention and love. Most of all, they are reliable and communicative. We cannot recommend Gwen enough!

Gwen did an amazing job with both my cats Mika and Podo! She made sure to give plenty of playtime for Podo, made shy Mika feel comfortable enough to come out of her shell and even gave the humans an update on the clean litter boxes. We were very impressed with her attention to detail. She also took the best pictures for our updates. Would highly recommend Gwen to any cat parent!

Featured Cat Sitters Near Brooklyn, NY

Frequently Asked Questions

Brooklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
