I'm Melissa | Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
As a fellow traveler and devoted cat parent, I deeply understand the comfort of knowing your beloved feline friend is safe, happy, and cared for during your travels—whether for vacation, business, or an unexpected trip. I know firsthand that cats thrive with companionship, and their humans deserve peace of mind while away. I'll ensure your trip is stress-free and your furry companion continues to live their best life while you're gone. My love and respect for cats come from sharing my life for 17 wonderful years with a spicy, feisty, green-eyed beauty. She was my first feline best friend, my confidante, and a true witness to my journey. When I rescued her all those years ago, I quickly learned it was actually she who rescued me. I cherish the many unique traits of cats—their independence, curiosity, intelligence, and the vibrant personalities each one brings into our lives. More recently, I welcomed a bonded pair of kittens into my home, rescued through a local TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program. Originally feral, these two little monsters h...

Melissa's Reviews
Austen
Fantastic job! Loved the photos and video, the cats loved her!
Maram

Amy
Melissa is the best cat sitter ever, hands down! She took care of my boys for three days and evenings and was a delight. Everything was done exactly as asked, and the photos and videos she sent were OUTSTANDING. I was actually a little worried my cats would be sad when I came home :p. Will book her again in a heartbeat. I always feel super guilty leaving my cats when I go away, but now I feel so reassured that they'll be in good hands and maybe even have a good time.

I am so glad I have a responsible, consistent sitter for my playful cat. Melissa cleans up Paolas dishes and litter box, gives her much needed playtime, and sends me gorgeous photos of my girl plus a fun video. She makes everything feel personalized. I never want to use anyone else and always reach out to her first. She is so accommodating and flexible. Thanks again!!

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 $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.
