I'm Catherine | Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY

Hello! I'm Catherine, a young professional working remotely in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn. As a devoted cat owner, lover, volunteer, and experienced sitter, I'm committed to providing your feline friend with the same level of care and affection I give my own. My experience spans years of successful cat visits, overnight care, and shelter volunteering. I've interacted with cats of all temperaments, from the most affectionate to the more reserved. My remote work allows for flexibility in visit timings, provided you give advance notice of your preferences. I currently share my home with Pigi, a curious and playful adult orange tabby, and my roommate's energetic tuxedo kitten. This firsthand experience keeps my ...

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

I've been providing catsitting services on apps for over 6 years as well as for friends and acquaintances, making visits and boarding their kitties. I've always had great experiences with the clients and kitties, no matter the personalities, needs, and communication styles.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I catsat for a client who became a recent cat parent and brought in a stray kitten from her backyard. She was super nervous and timid but over the course of days/weeks, it was so endearing to see her open up so warmly and sweetly each visit, approaching closer and with more confidence. I was also able to provide my experiences with cats, whether it was interpreting and bringing out different behaviors or giving recommendations on feeding schedule, toys, and interactions. I loved getting to know the kitty and client more over several visits and being a reliable sitter for them.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I usually ask some initial questions to understand the clients needs for the reservation including visit schedule/constraints and preference for the meet-and-greet to ensure I can meet their needs. Then we set up either a virtual or in-person meeting where I have a set of questions to go through to fully understand the logistics of the visit as well as get to know their kitty more comprehensively. I always offer opportunity for any questions from the client or additional notes/reminders during and after the meeting. I explain my typical process and communication style, aligning it to the client's preference. I keep in close contact with the client up to and during the visits to ensure their kitty (and home!) is in good hands.

Catherine did an outstanding job caring for our cat, Kinako. She was consistently prompt and professional, and she managed to earn the trust of our usually shy kitty. She even went above and beyond by sharing beautiful, candid photos that kept us connected while we were away. We highly recommend Catherine to anyone seeking a reliable, empathetic, and attentive cat sitter.

Catherine was so great with my really shy senior cat!! She’s been able to interact with him more than any other sitter I’ve worked with, and her updates are super thorough. She’s quickly become my #1 preferred sitter!

I adore Catherine and will keep using her every time I’m out of town. Detailed updates and lots of photos/videos! You can tell how much she cares about the cats she’s watching from her updates. Thank you again!

Catherine's timely updates and attention to detail put us at ease on our vacation! This was our first time using a cat sitter and her professional approach and good communication was reassuring, we'd love to have her come back to watch Pepe and Cacio again soon :)

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

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 $35.00. 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.
