Learn More About Lex

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My two cats are foster brothers adopted from the Brooklyn Cat Cafe back in 2021! Ray of Sunshine, older by about one month, turned 4 this year and has cerebellar hypoplasia. Ray does not have the progressive form of CH, and has gained strength and confidence over the years — we went from quite a few little box accidents to very, very rare instances, and he loves to climb/jump and hoist himself up onto elevated surfaces now (something I thought would never happen when I first met him!) Sabi, who also turned 4 back in February of this year, is my sweet orange boy named after my grandfather (Sabiniano). He is markedly handsome (this is what everyone tells me!), intelligent, and silly. His only real issues are sneaking extra kibble snacks and being a little lazy…he loves extra exercise time and extra toy chasing before bed to tire us out!

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

Communication above all! Usually cat parents will have a little list or document already prepared for me if their cat’s needs go beyond what most would consider the “bare minimum” — feeding, playing, exercise, cuddles/pets, and maintaining the cleanliness of their personal areas. I always make sure to ask directly if there is anything they can think of that I should know: any quirks, any specific places in the home that they like to hide in or get into, any stressors, and anything they can remember that might help me in times that their cats are feeling a little more down or distant. Of course, I go over anything medical multiple times. I also always make sure to ask for favorite toys, spots in the house, and their preferred special treats for bribery moments, as that always helps me being a brand new person coming into their lives and homes.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am very available during holidays and love to help owners/parents around that time as well! I know it can be hard to find someone on the same schedule as you, but if you’re traveling out of NYC or Brooklyn I can almost guarantee I will still be here and available! I travel out somewhat rarely, but when I do, it’s not usually for actual holidays — my family is here!

Lex is not only an attentive and responsible cat owner, but she is compassionate and trustworthy with a natural ability to connect with animals. She is very detail oriented and will always make sure to clarify instructions and specifications to the fullest extent. I would not hesitate to leave my two cats in her care, and I can confidently say any cat would be in excellent hands!

Lex is an incredible human being who not only cares for animals in such a deep way, but is exceptional at it. The love and care she shows towards cats is admirable and puts both the cats and owners at ease. Lex is responsive when asked something and takes a proactive approach to cat sitting so she can ensure your cats receive the best care possible. I would trust Lex with my feelings, my worries, and my pets safety and comfort any day of any week.

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.
