I'm Joseph
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I’ve been a cat parent since 2017 and am my friends’ go to sitter. I’ve done the whole thing: long term stays, litter boxes, and pop-ins. I also have experience delivering medication and caring for older and difficult cats.
I’m fairly quiet by nature and, I think, go... Hiii! I’m Joe (they/he). Does your cat have separation anxiety? Do you? I’m here to help :).
I’ve been a cat parent since 2017 and am my friends’ go to sitter. I’ve done the whole thing: long term stays, litter boxes, and pop-ins. I also have experience delivering medication and caring for older and difficult cats.
I’m fairly quiet by nature and, I think, good at reading cats’ body language. I know new can faces take time, so whatever your cats’ temperament, we can chat about whatever’s best for your situation.
I’m very communicative, reliable and happy to accommodate last minute requests or specific needs for your cat. Otherwise my vibe is very chill and my goal is to keep things easy and low stress for us both.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been a cat parent since 2017 and have be sitting for friends’ cats for the last 5 years. I’ve done home stays and pop-ins. I also have experience with older and difficult cats. Just like you, I love spending time with cats. I think the diversity of their personalities is rad and winning a cat’s trust feeling like an unparalleled victory each time.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I used to be the sitter of choice for my friend’s cat, an older, grouchy, deaf cat who’s meows sounded like a wailing child. Needless to say I adored her.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
If they don’t share out the gate, I make sure the cat parents has clarified: *Cat’s personality, quirks, and comfort with strangers. *Preferred feeding times, play times needs, and expected length of visit *Cleaning supplies in case the cat gets ill or needs a litter box cleaned *Confirmed entry into the apartment so there are no issues when they are gone To ensure the cats safety I will clarify what houseplants they have and typical room set up to avoid illness and injury. Food will always be put away. I will also request the vet’s number be left behind so they can be reached in an emergency.

Joe has cared for my cats for years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He looked after my senior cat in her final years, giving her liquid oral meds and so much patience, care, and love when she needed it most. I’ll be forever grateful to him for that. He’s shown that same gentleness to my two younger cats, Olive and Pip, from when they were tiny kittens to now. I never worry when I’m away because I know they’re in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, comfortable with meds, and genuinely loves cats, Joe is your person.

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 $31.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
