Learn More About Alanis

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to bond and get to know each unique cat. It’s always a great feeling to help a shy or anxious cat open up to you. I love the companionship and being with them while they relax or play.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a cat named Joe who is 23 years old. He is the cuddliest cat who loves watching TV and bird watching with me whenever he can.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I offer a calm and patient approach. I let them come to me on their own terms respecting their space. I use a soft voice and provide familiar comfort from toys, food, or favorite things that stick to their routine. I approach them as gentle as possible to try to build trust and help them relax while I’m there.

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 $31.00. 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!
