I'm Valerie | Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
Hi I’m Valerie. Most of my friends and family know me as 'Val'. Being semi-retired, I decided to pursue a caring, loving career of cat sitting,. Ever since I was a little girl, I've always wanted to.work with animals. I currently reside in Bath Beach, Brooklyn and grew up in Bay Ridge & Sunset Park, Brooklyn. My long, dedicated career of 34 years at a major utility recently came to an end due to a surprise department/company downsizing. So...here I am! I love all animals, but have a special fondness for cats and dogs, in all shapes, sizes and dispositions. Growing up, I’ve had a cat as well as dogs and they were all like members of the family. Unfortunately, I...
Valerie's Reviews
Amy
Val is my go-to cat sitter. She was great as always!
Stacey
Valerie is the best. I really don't know what I'd do without her. While I was away in Europe, one of my kitties got sick. She coordinated everything with my niece to get her to an emergency vet. Then she made sure that my kitty got all the medication that was prescribed into her. It's so frustrating when you are far away. Valerie set my mind at ease and gave her the care that got my kitty back on her feet.

Valerie was great. She asked a lot of questions at the meet and greet, was extremely responsive and communicative throughout the 2 weeks we were gone, and was easy to work with. I will definitely be using her again! As a side note, she also takes great pictures!

Val is a wonderful sitter- my cat can be very shy but he’s always friendly towards her. she is very communicative & goes the extra step of making sure everything is tidy and clean when she leaves my apartment.

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.
