I'm Gary | Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY

Hello! I'm Gary and I have a cat-like personality that's shy and very patient. I provide loving one-on-one cat care thanks to my flexible schedule and I always care for cats as if they were my own. Requests on short notice are always welcome. Do not hesitate to send a message if you have any questions (or if you want to say hello and send cute cat pictures)! 🐈 EXPERIENCE: I've cared for pets for more than a decade and have had the privilege of caring for over +50 cats of all breeds, sizes, and... personalities! I'm especially thankful to all the repeat pet owners who have trusted me with their cats over the years. 📅 FLEXIBILITY: Thanks to my flexible schedule, I welcome booking requests on a short notice.

Learn More About Gary

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

I started as a volunteer at an animal shelter called PAWS Chicago in 2012, where I cared for both dogs and cats. I used to love dogs, but the cats have now converted me to a cat person.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love their company. I'm an introvert who prefers the peace and quiet, so I'm always appreciative when I get a chance to spend quality time with cats.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite moments are when a cat jumps on my lap and doesn't want to leave. But, if you know cats, you'll know that rarely happens!

Gary is amazing and fantastic! I highly recommend him! I had an out of state family emergency to attend to and needed a catsitter on short notice. Gary responded immediately and was so thorough and caring AND managed to charm my shy girl enough for her to come out for pets! Knowing that Gary was caring for Suga, I could completely focus on the family matter without worrying about my girl. I am so thankful for Gary!!

Could not have asked for a better Cat Sitter! Gary was meticulous and prompt in responding to my requests. He made sure that every thing was in perfect order during his visit and was very thoughtful. He always followed up with questions and updates about my cats, ensuring me that all was fine. I also noticed that he even cleaned up tracking litter and took out the litter trash, he didn’t have to but thank you! Will 100% use Gary again in the future and will highly recommend him to everyone else.

When I needed to book a cat sitter again, I didn't hesitate to go with Gary! He did such a great job of making my cat feel relaxed while I was away and was attentive to her needs. You can tell he really cares about your pet!

Gary made sure to let us know that our kitties were well taken care of. Truly appreciate that he went out of his way to do a few more things beyond what was requested and was prompt and detailed with his updates.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
