I'm Yaeji
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I grew up with three cats and now have two of my own, Pierre and Arry (and a dog). They keep me on my toes and make every day better! I’ve also cared for cats around my neighborhood, so I’m no stranger to all the unique quirks and cuddles that come with cat sitting.
I have a calm, gentle personality that cats naturally warm up to, and I always treat every kitty like my own... Hi there! I’m Yaeji — a lifelong cat lover, and I’d be thrilled to care for your fur babies while you’re away! 🐾

I have a calm, gentle personality that cats naturally warm up to, and I always treat every kitty like my own. I’m a pharmacist by day 💊, and thanks to personal experience with my own cats, I’m comfortable giving medications like eye drops and topical/oral if needed.
📍 Location: I’m based in Bushwick, right near the Morgan L stop — so anywhere nearby or along the L line is perfect!
⏰ Availability: I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Just message me and we’ll work something out!
And of course — I’ll send you plenty of cute cat pics while you’re away. I know how much it means to see your little ones happy and well cared for 🐱📸
Looking forward to meeting you and your cat(s)!

Yaeji did a fantastic job taking care of our cat for the 5 days we were out of town. She was very communicative, followed all instructions perfectly, and sent tons of great photos/videos of our cat each day too. She even went above and beyond and watered our plants which was greatly appreciated

Yaeji was amazing. It was our first time leaving our kitty alone and she made us feel so much better. She sent so many videos, pictures and chatted with me while she was with our girl. MoMo absolutely loved her and we’d 110% book her again.

Yaeji was awesome. She gave me a ton of updates and took a ton of pictures. She also played with my cat for awhile, brushed him, and spent more time with him than originally paid for. Would definitely recommend.

Once again, Yaeji was amazing and took great care of my 3 cats while I was away for a week. She was able to go twice a day and sent me videos and photos each time. My cats clearly adored her, they looked relaxed, happy and content in every update. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind while they’re away!

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 couldn't have been happier with my experience having Yaeji look after my two cats!! From the get-go she was very responsive and detail-oriented when we were going over the pre-sitting notes and things just continued going well from there. Throughout the entire week Yaeji sent over thorough updates and sweet photos. I was particularly happy that she was able to help my shy cat come out of his shell and socialize more which put my mind at ease. One thing that I was also really impressed by was that she noticed small details about their eating habits, like how they would eat less on some days and more on other days, and would keep me posted on how things changed day-to-day. Overall, Yaeji's awesome attention to detail and just general kindness and brightness made her one of the best sitters I've ever used. I was so happy with my experience and the cats and I look forward to working with her in the future. Do not hesitate to book Yaeji, you and your cat companions will be glad that you did!

Yaeji was a perfect buddy to my two super attention craving cats while I was away. One had a last minute antibiotic prescription and Yaeji did an excellent job making sure he got the whole thing down (without any interference from his sister). Outside of that, Yaeji made sure they got lots of exercise and cuddles which are usually my two main concerns while I’m away. I will hire Yaeji again for sure the next time I need to go out of town.

Yaeji was a truly wonderful cat-sitter. She took excellent care of our two cats, managing to coax out our shy little Lorenzo and get him to play. When our flight was cancelled, Yaeji made time to check in on the cats again until we could get home. I highly recommend Yaeji to anyone who is looking for a kind, patient and professional cat-sitter.

Yaeji did a great job with my cat Eddy! She was super responsive and followed all the instructions I gave her for the check in. She also sent lots of pictures and videos, so I know Eddy got all the attention he deserves!

Yaeji did a phenomenal job of looking after my kittens as usual. She truly looks after my cats like she was taking care of her own and they love her so much in return. Yaeji is super knowledgeable about cats and is always willing to let me bounce ideas off of her in terms of foods and litters to use. Her communication was awesome and she was very professional. I cant say enough positive things about Yaeji!

Yaeji did a stellar job sitting as per usual! She has such a way with cats, Yaeji managed to get my shy cat to open up and be more social and she is able to encourage both cats to play with toys each session. I really trust Yaeji's experience and expertise and know that my cats are going to be getting the best possible care when she's visiting.

Yaeji did a phenomenal job with my cats per usual. She balances giving each of my cats (who have very different personalities) the kind of care and attention they need. Yaeji is so detail oriented and experienced with pet care in general. I love working with her!
