Learn More About Melissa

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

I have over 15 years of cat sitting experience! Friends, coworkers, family were my primary clients before the convenience of apps like Meowtel!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Providing a high quality care experience for clients allowing them to travel in peace! I also love getting to provide high quality pics, videos and updates to reassure clients that all is well at home when they are not!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

There are so many cats that I care for that are really special to me. They become my little buddies and I feel very privileged that I get to hang out with them, play with them and give them love when you're away from home.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I am the care guardian to a bonded sibling pair named Geordi amd Jadzia. They are truly special and I love them bunches!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Look for someone who's style and approach to cat care matches your own! If super particular then look for someone who matches your energy!

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

I try to ask questions to get a sense of the kind of care they expect and prefer. Building trust and rapport is very important to me.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I treat every cat as if they were my own. I am very careful, attentive and patient. Every cat becomes my part time bestie!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available almost all holidays :) big and small from New Year to Christmas and everything in between! I travel myself but only in the dead periods for client!

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite toy makes no difference! Every cat has their own favorite thing - i will try a variety of toys from lasers, to feather wands, strings, even Cat TV on youtube. Once I figure out what your cat likes, that's my favorite toy!

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

My heart goes out to the shy ones! I approach shy kitties with extreme patience and compassion. I challenge myself to bring them out of their shell to help them be more confident while I earn their trust.

Melissa did great with our three cats! She sent daily pictures and a recap video that we loved watching. The cats were in good spirits when we came home!

Melissa has watched my cat 3 times and each time he has been amazingly well cared for! She goes above and beyond and is a great communicator and sends consistent updates and pictures from each visit. I always feel informed and am able to relax knowing that he is safe and happy.

Melissa was phenomenal during my time away from my boys! here’s a list of amazing things she’s done to take anxiety away and ensure our boys were happy while I was away: - consistent videos/reels, photos, and check-ins every time she went over. It felt like we were along for the ride with the footage of the journey into our home and being greeted by the boys - always giving treats and quality playtime with the boys - checking their food storage, robot litter, and water to always make sure they were set for an every-other-day visit - assisting with minor clean-up like vomit from the youngest and sweeping/mopping up any litter messes (LITERALLY ABOVE AND BEYOND!!) - kept toys filled with treats for entertainment - consistent communication if she had any questions or concerns

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!!

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!

Melissa was fabulous, and bonded with Ginger readily which I could clearly see through the plentiful and great photos and videos she sent me daily. She was also a wealth of recommendactions, suggesting alternative litter and food to address Ginger's and my preferences since I'd gotten G. recently. I appreciated the care and time she spent, and also the foresight in questions she asked me in our meet-n-greet. Have already recommended her to friends.

Melissa has to be one of the most thoughtful and thorough cat sitters on Moewtel. This was my first time entrusting the care of my cat to a stranger and I am so happy I did! Melissa was respectful and transparent in her approach by keeping me in the loop via text, videos and photos. Upon my arrival home, I was very impressed to see the litter trash complete disposed of and replaced with a new trash bag liner. Melissa clearly loves what she does and respects individuals and their spaces. Whether your cat needs basic care or some social love, Melissa is right for you! I will undoubtedly hire her again.

Melissa was an absolute dream!! A wonderful communicator, attentive, and so understanding!

Would absolutely book again. A 10/10 experience!! Thank you Melissa!!

Melissa goes above and beyond to take care of your furbaby exactly as that particular creature needs to be cared for. She is reliable, communicative, generous, and kind. She always knows how to break through to our very, very shy cat (she did so in record speed!), and she always makes a point to play with both of our cats, which they adore. I couldn’t recommend Melissa highly enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brooklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
