Learn More About Alex
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to meet new animals and establish bonds with them. Cats are the best because they aren’t always easy to win over, but once you do you can take on the world. I’ve always felt passionate about animals, and I’d love to make it a career.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 2 and they are the lights of my life! Kinga is my senior shy girl with medical issues - so i have knowledge on how to win over hesitant babies as well as how to administer pills. Mo is my crazy 2 year old boy with crazy energy and will cuddle just as hard as he’ll play.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When i met my baby Kinga, she was the shyest animal i had ever seen. I had to spend sessions with her and her foster mom before i could take her home to build her trust. You never want to take a cats trust for granted. I will always get down to their level and extend my hand for them to sniff. If they aren’t interested, the next step is reading body language. Sometimes treats and toys work, other times it’s just a matter of them getting used to you being in their space. I believe talking to them about any and everything also gets them used to your voice and builds more trust.

Alex was such a wonderful cat sitter. Her pics and videos of my little guy were so nice to get, as were her sweet messages about how he was doing. She braved the big snow storm to still do two visits a day even though I told her if it was too hard it would be ok to only go once. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust with my beloved kitty.

Alex is incredible! My situation is not run-of-the-mill: I am currently in the process of introducing my 10 y.o. cat Peanut to a new feline friend, after we lost my other resident cat (and her bonded lifemate) in August. The process has been slow and tedious, and I need support with kitty meet n' greets as well as care for the new foster-to-adopt (they're still being kept in separate rooms, and caring for two cats separately takes a toll on a single parent; plus, Peanut gets jealous whenever I spend time with the new guy). Adding Alex to the mix was an absolute game changer. She has experience with complicated cat introductions *and* the kitties love her, she has such a grounding presence (which helps me too as this whole process has been quite stressful). Highly recommend Alex for all your cat sitting *and* cat introduction needs!

Once again Alex was great with Duke and Donna over the holidays, making sure they were fed, happy and healthy. It’s tough to balance Duke’s energy with Donna’s anxiety but they both respond well! Thanks Alex!

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!

If I had plans and Alex wasn't available, I would honestly change my plans. That's how safe and comfortable I feel leaving my cat with her. It's hard to find someone you trust with your pet and also to come into your home but I have only had great experiences with Alex. I don't know what Putter and I would do without her for when I'm gone for long stretches of time!!

Alex is a fantastic choice to watch your fur baby! She goes above and beyond to make everyone comfortable- your cats AND you! She is thorough and truly cares about my cats in a way that I thought only I could as their pawrent. She was able to help take care of my cats in an emergency situation while I was in another country AND made me feel reassured for their safety! I highly recommend her services.
