Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY

Hi - I’m Lauren and I'm a lifelong cat lover!

I volunteered at my local animal shelter from age 13 to 22 and when I moved to New York City I knew I wanted to foster cats. Fast forward 11 years later and I've fostered over 100+ cats/kittens by working with KittyKind and HeidiWranglesCats.

In fostering, I have come across so many different situations (health issues, conditions and shy cats). I have given animals liquid, topical such as ear or eye ointment or pill medication. I can also give insulin medications and have had 3 insulin dependent clients! I have also watched a variety of cats,...
Hi - I’m Lauren and I'm a lifelong cat lover!

I volunteered at my local animal shelter from age 13 to 22 and when I moved to New York City I knew I wanted to foster cats. Fast forward 11 years later and I've fostered over 100+ cats/kittens by working with KittyKind and HeidiWranglesCats.

In fostering, I have come across so many different situations (health issues, conditions and shy cats). I have given animals liquid, topical such as ear or eye ointment or pill medication. I can also give insulin medications and have had 3 insulin dependent clients! I have also watched a variety of cats, especially shy cats who need a little extra love and patience to come out of their shell for new humans. I like to say I'm a professional slow blinker!

What can you expect from me?
A 20 minute visit includes litter box cleaning, feeding, water refresh, and a few minutes of petting or playing.
A 45 or 60 minute visit includes all of the above with longer snuggles, pets or playtime!
I will always send you at least 1 photo and I try to capture a video if possible.

I use public transportation or walk to my clients.
I currently accept clients in the following neighborhoods, if you are outside of these areas depending on my schedule I can potentially accommodate.
Brooklyn - Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, Williamsburg, Greenpoint
Queens - Ridgewood
Manhattan - Tribeca, Lower East Side, East Village

Don't hesitate to message me if you have questions about your cats

Amazing work! Lauren was consistent in her visit times, sent photos and communicated well ahead of time when severe weather was possible. And despite weather she completed every single visit.

Lauren took excellent care of our cats. Our cats have special requirements, one needs medication, and another needs to be kept separated, and Lauren was able to accommodate all of this. She was responsible, caring, and communicative. We couldn't ask for better care.

Lauren is so incredibly kind and compassionate! She took such good care of my cat. She handled his insulin injections and oral medications so well. She also took the cutest pictures of my cat and gave me updates every morning and evening on her visit with him! Will be rebooking with Lauren again for future trips!

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!
