I'm Valerie
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
Growing up, I’ve had a cat as well as dogs and they were all like members of the family. Unfortunately, I am now in a pet-free building and currently only have fish as pets. I am also volunteering at a cat rescue and enjoy socializing with all the different types of cats. I find it fun & rewarding, as well as therapeutic. I’ve also had the opportunity to take care of my friends’ & family’s cats and dogs while they were away. I would love to be a cat sitter with daily weekday visits and/or repeat visits; however, my options are open.
I am patient, easy-going, proactive, tidy and detail oriented. I would love your kitty as if it were my own and will follow up with photos and text messages while you are away. Please contact me for your cat sitting needs! Thank you!

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.

Val was a pleasure to work with. She was very communicative and responsive. She gave us updates each day and sent snapshots of the kitties, which we appreciated very much! When our return time was delayed, she made sure the kitties were taken care of. She had a great rapport with them (even the shy one who hides most of the time), so we look forward to having her in our midst once again.

Saying I was nervous to leave my cat home alone for two weeks was an understatement. Valerie COMPLETELY eased my concerns throughout her visits. Her updates were thorough and contained an abundance of photographs. Bonus points for cleaning up all the messes my mischievous cat makes!

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 was a great last minute find! My cat is very shy but she was able to get him to come out of his shell and was very kind and patient with him.

I can't praise Valerie enough. Every day, she sent me a long text message telling me in detail how my kitties were doing and what was going on. She also sent several pictures of them along with the text. My cats like and trust her. They even let her pet them and play with them!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
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!

I could tell by Sookie's behavior when I got back that Val was a wonderful companion for the two days I was gone. Sookie was happy to see me, well-fed, and chill. Thanks to Val for all the sweet pictures and updates during the two days I was away. Sookie was a pampered Diva!

Val is an incredible pet sitter! This was my second time booking with her after the first went so well. I’ve always been extremely anxious to leave my girl but Val is kind, caring and very reassuring. She sends thorough, detailed updates (with adorable pics) daily! So grateful to have found her!

Valerie is fabulous! My kitties loved her, and she loved them. I was updated every day on what was happening with them including pictures! It has been such a relief in finding Valerie as I travel a lot and want my babies to be well cared for when I'm not there. With Valerie, I know they always will be!

Valerie was great! You can tell she deeply cares about the little ones she visits. Communication and response time was great, and I knew my kitty was in good hands.

Valerie is the best!!! I usually have anxiety leaving my cat because he is very active and needy sometimes, but Valerie made me feel very comfortable and I had zero anxiety leaving him. It's such a good feeling to be able to trust someone and feel good about it 😊 she's everything that you would want in a cat sitter and more.
