Gary's Reviews
Laura
Gary was amazing! This is the second time he watched my cats and he was very speedy with his responses and also took great photos of the cats. I have one cat who is shyer than the other one and even he warmed up to Gary! Highly recommend
Deo
Gary is a fantastic caretaker. I’ve had him visit my cat twice now for longer stints of travel and both times he’s made me feel confident that my cat and my apartment has been in safe hands. Thorough picture and written updates and quick responses gives me extra assurance while I’m away. He even managed to teach my cat how to play with her wand which she hadn’t done before. thank you Gary!
Cathy
Gary took care of our cat for a whole 2 weeks this holiday season, and we will definitely go to him again in the future. He would always leave us with detailed messages and photos to show us that our cat’s food, water, litter, and catcams were taken care of. Despite bad weather and the difficulty to get to the trash in our building, he was happy to clean our litter-robot. After taking care of essentials, he would spend the rest of the time grooming and playing with our cat Kiki. He sent 15+ photos of Kiki each session (we asked for him to spam us 🤓), and we took comfort in how much fun she had with Gary. Kiki can be a little shy at first, but Gary is experienced and was patient with her. By the last few sessions, she was waiting for him at the door! Finally, he always cleaned up to be respectful of our space, despite having to bust out all the toys over and over again before we would return 😅Gary is awesome and we wholeheartedly recommend him!

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.
