Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always take the time to earn their trust at their pace.
During visits, I'll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention, and playtime if they allow/enjoy it. ... Hi! I'm a dedicated animal lover with both professional and personal pet care experience.
I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always take the time to earn their trust at their pace.
During visits, I'll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention, and playtime if they allow/enjoy it. Whether your cat is social and energetic or shy and independent, I'll tailor my care to their needs.
I pride myself on being dependable and communicative. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can have that peace of mind while you're away.
I have 2 cats myself and have cared for cats, dogs, birds and even reptiles! So trust me when I say your baby is in good hands.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for going on 5 years now! I have experience with a variety of cat personalities, ages, energy levels and health conditions. I make sure to tailor my company to both you and your pets needs.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy the feeling of gaining a cats trust the most. Showing I'm not a threat and that everything is on their terms slowly brings even the most skiddish of cats around. Being that safe space during a potentially stressful time is important.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two cats named peanut and pepper. Peanut is an male orange tabby cat we've had for 12 years. He's reserved, food driven and rather come to you than be bothered. Pepper is a black cat with a speck of white. She's extremely playful, vocal, and requires a lot of attention. I love both of my very different babies.

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!
