I'm Kelsey | Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY

Hello Everyone! My name is Kelsey and I would be very excited to care for your fur baby! New customers receive a 10% coupon for booking my service (2 visit minimum)! I have many years of experience caring for my own pets as well as the pets of others. Here is a little bit about myself. I have had a cat in my household since I was 5 years old! My first cat's name was Pinecone and she was a rescue from the Humane Society! I currently have 2 cats, Ding-Ding and Poose, who are a mother/daughter duo. I have experience working with cats and dogs of all ages, kittens/puppies to senior cats/dogs. I also have experience administering medication in the form of pills, eyedrops, ear...

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

I am so excited to meet with new clients! I always schedule a meet and greet in advance of the booking. During the meet and greet, I like to meet the kitties and learn about their personalities, likes, and dislikes. I have a list of questions that I ask to make sure that I have essential information for the visits such as food, litter, favorite toy, and favorite hiding spots.

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

When I enter a clients home, I make sure not to open the door too wide to ensure that kitties don’t have the opportunity to bolt out of the home. I also make sure that the door is locked while I am visiting. When I leave, I also do a head count to make sure all kitties are inside. After the visit, I make sure that the door is locked behind me. During initial meet and greets, I ask the new client to show me how to use their keys (some doors are old and tricky) and receive information about if they have a security alarm in the home. I also will let the owner know of any severe weather that may be headed towards the area.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The iconic fishing wand!

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.

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 $37.00. 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.
