I'm Najood
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I grew up in a home with five rescue cats and was involved in TNR efforts from the age of 10. I’m an animal lover, but cats especially are extremely dear to me. My friends call me the crazy cat lady and I think it’s an honor!
I have experience with shy/timid cats, big personalities (even the tough ones), and can handle multi-cat homes, including if they need to be separated for mealtime or need separate play time... Hi there! My name is Najood. You can call me Jude, for short! I live in Brooklyn with my partner and our two sister kitties, Kiki & Mezcal.
I grew up in a home with five rescue cats and was involved in TNR efforts from the age of 10. I’m an animal lover, but cats especially are extremely dear to me. My friends call me the crazy cat lady and I think it’s an honor!
I have experience with shy/timid cats, big personalities (even the tough ones), and can handle multi-cat homes, including if they need to be separated for mealtime or need separate play time.
When I come in for a Meet&Greet, I’m very thorough about getting all the information I need from feeding schedules, to vet information, medications, and favorite toys. I am attentive to detail, excellent at reading cats’ body language, and I care as deeply for people’s pets as I do my own.
You can count on me to send you great photos/videos of your furry friend, to be reliable and on time, to be attentive to any specific needs, and to alert you should anything with your pet or your home be out of the ordinary while you are away.
I look forward to meeting your cat and becoming besties!! 🐈🐈⬛
Learn More About Najood
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Make sure to hire a cat sitter who is patient and understanding of your cat’s individual needs. And someone who is compassionate and takes the time to get to know and build a real relationship with your cat(s).
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I am diligent when entering/exiting the home to ensure that a cat who may linger close to the front door does not get out. I ensure that the home remains a good temperature while the owners are away and would alert them to anything out of the ordinary should it arise in their home or with their cat (i.e not eating/drinking, acting strange) I double check all doors, windows/screens etc are closed and locked before I exit. I keep a close eye on water bowl and feeder levels and top up as needed.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toy would have to be a feather or mouse wand. I love how diverse it is for play time!

From our meet and greet to the last visit, Jude is a true professional and everything you’d want in a sitter. She kept me up to date with detailed texts and photos, and made sure Ben was well-loved with play time and pets. Even when I had a snafu with the auto feeder, Jude ensured it was in working order on her next visit. She put me completely at ease, especially with this being my first time away from my cat. I highly recommend her, and will be a return client!

We had a great experience with Najood watching our cats, Chauncifer and Clementine. From our initial meet and greet onward, we could tell that Najood is extremely attentive, detail-oriented, and attuned to cats. Her thorough updates and photos gave us peace of mind that our kitties were thriving. We would definitely trust Najood with Clem & Chauncey again!

Najood is a gem of a cat sitter!! She's detail orientated, communicative, and above all was great with my cats. She was fantastic with the meet and greet - took some excellent notes and even noticed a health condition I missed out on. She took some quality photos, provided great updates, and was so so affectionate with my cats. It was great to know that my cats were getting the requisite amount of pets and treats while I was gone.

I couldn’t have asked for a better catsitter. Jude was absolutely perfect! Always on time, incredibly thorough with her daily updates and photos, and so patient, kind, and loving with my cat. It was clear from every message and picture that she truly cares. She even went above and beyond by tidying up the litter and food areas, which was so thoughtful. I felt completely at ease knowing my Eddie was in such good hands. Highly, highly recommend!

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 $30.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!

Najood has been taking care of our cats for the last year and it always sucks when she is not available! She always sends photos and videos playing with our cats and is super diligent with cleaning their plates, bowls, and litter boxes. I would not recommend anyone else, seriously!

I've worked with Najood as a dog walker in a company in West Village, NYC. I know her to be loving, responsible, and highly communicative. She is a loving owner to three cats, a certified dog trainer, and has a long time experience in pet care. I trust her with any pet, and I know this from first-hand experience working with her. I highly recommend her services. You will travel easy knowing Najood is there.
