Learn More About Claire

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

I've been a professional cat-sitter for three years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats crack me up so much, and they always put me at ease. Every cat has such a unique personality, and I love getting to know them all.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I've been told by multiple clients that their kitties who are too afraid of most sitters will come out for me -- I'm always so happy when a shy kitty comes out for pets or a churu treat.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, my roommate and I were fostering and recently adopted a nine-year-old sweetie named Mira.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am often available over the holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The crinkly ones. My kitty is obsessed with them. I also love a laser pointer.

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

I respect cat's boundaries and give them their space. I always wait for them to come up to me, and I try to move as slowly and be as non-threatening as possible so as not to scare them. Sometimes sitting still for a while, somewhere low to the ground so they can smell me, can really help.

Claire is the best! My sweet baby had a wonderful time with her. She is very attentive and caring, and kept me in the loop of everything going on with the house and with Roman. When I came hold it was spotless and Roman was happy. Will definitely work with Claire next time!

Claire went above and beyond for our kitties. It gave us a lot of comfort while we were away on vacation to know that they were in such good hands - even our shyest kitty came out after a couple of visits to see Claire. They enjoyed playtime and special treats with her, and we came back to a wonderfully clean cat area. We look forward to having Claire visit our kitties again soon!

This is the 3rd time I've booked Claire to cat-sit for my 3 cats, and each time has been a wonderful experience! Claire is extremely detail-oriented and executes the kitties' 4 daily meals handily. Being that my cats are used to 4 meals a day, I was initially worried that I wouldn't be able to find someone who would be up to the task. My worries were eased by Claire at once, who sent photos of all meals, water dish changes, and litter box cleanings. I've only ever booked her for overnights at my home, and each time, she's left the place clean and has gone the extra mile to strip the bedding and take out the trash before leaving. Apart from the physical tasks, she has a wonderful ability with cats and has managed to charm my shy boy into coming out of hiding and hanging out with her--something that is very rare for him! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for anyone looking for a meticulous and kind cat-sitter!

Claire was absolutely amazing! I was on vacation for a week and worried about my cat Binx since he has asthma and a heart condition and requires an inhaler and medication 2x a day. But Claire handled it with ease! She sent me pictures and videos everyday and made sure to give him his medication on time. She even cleaned his litter box and play area so it was very clean when I returned!! My cat loved her as well and from the photos I can tell that he was right at home! I will definitely be booking with her again :)

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Claire! Zeus enjoyed meeting her at the Meet 'n' Greet, and subsequently really took to her during the cat-sit. She was communicative, easy-going, flexible, respectful, and most of all, doting on Zeus. She easily met all of my expectations of an excellent sitter, sending text and photo updates throughout my time away to ease my worried cat mom headspace. I was soothed to see videos of him in her lap during the day and cuddled up to her at night. She tracked Zeus's litter box habits assiduously, fed him in a timely fashion, and left my home spotless as if she hadn't stayed for a couple nights. She even offered to strip the bedsheets, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend utilizing her services! I definitely will be hiring her again when life pulls me out of town and away from Zeus!

I was so lucky to find Claire! I adopted one of my cats during the COVID lockdown and he is very shy since he didn't get to socialize as a kitten. I was so happy to see pictures of Otis coming out to see Claire on her first visit. Both cats seemed so happy and calm when I arrived home . She has that magic touch with cats.

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.
