I'm Melissa | Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
As a traveler who lives with cats, I understand the peace of mind of having someone care for your bestie while being away on vacation, business or emergency trips. Cats need company and people need the reassurance that while away, all will be taken care of. I will work hard to make sure your trip is stress-free and that your feline companion is living their best life while you’re away from home. About 5 years ago, I was out of town for an entire summer for work and had a great cat sitter taking care of my cat. When my cat became unexpectedly very sick, it was such a relief that he was there to take care of her, take her to the vet, monitor her progress and send me updates. I would hope to be able to provide that level of confidence for fellow cat owners when they travel. I also consider myself a bit of a cat photographer so IF your cat is a willing model, there will be photo shoots! My love for cats comes from the privilege of having been the proud best friend of a spicy, feisty, bratty green eyed beauty for 17 y...

Melissa's Reviews
Gavin
We have had Melissa come look after our cats a few times now, and it's simply the best experience! Extremely detail oriented & genuine. Have never felt more comfortable with someone looking after them when we're out of town. Could not recommend enough -- 11/10!!!
Stefanie
Melissa remains my go-to, and I really feel she cares as she worked to help me find another trusted cat-carer for the days she was unavailable, and also took care of my plants when I mentioned I'd forgotten to put in their water bulbs. Ginger gives her the White Tummy of Trust too, and she's a very good judge of character!
Jennifer
Melissa did an excellent job with Juno. She kept her engaged and made sure she was having fun while I was away. I would highly recommend her
Eric
Melissa was amazing, and we couldnt’t recommend her more highly. She was great with our cats and provided hands down the best updates we’ve received from a sitter. Great communication, super helpful, and the cats clearly enjoyed her visits. I just hope she’ll be available next time we’re away! Thanks Melissa!
Ilana

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.
