Learn More About Zariah

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting through meowtel consistently since 2022 for a wide array of clients all across Brooklyn! I would consider myself throughly experienced :)

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new cats as a cat lover is the best! I love getting to know their personalities and tending to their every need! I love being of service to animals and going above and beyond for my clients! I also love hearing back that the cats I sit seem content once my clients have returned home to them! Makes me so happy

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my favorite cat sitting reservations occurred with the cutest tuxedo cat! He was so shy at first but with some loving patience and an attempt at playing with him- he became so comfortable with me and now we are the best of friends! This was my favorite because I felt to happy to make him feel cozy and comfortable enough to let his personality shine! Now when I head out from my visits ge doesn’t want me to go lol we have lots of fun together :)

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! They are named Soft and Kunti but they have plenty of nicknames haha Soft is also well known in my household as Pookie and Kunti is also known as Simone they respond to all of these!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always folllow my clients advised procedures, keep a watchful eye for anything that could be dangerous for the cats I sit and if I ever notice any health concerns or anything unusual I always immediately contact my clients with any details. I will always go above and beyond for the safety and health of cats! I always am sure to lock doors or turn on security systems if my client has them and keep keys safe and secure! I always approach homes and kitties with the upmost respect and attention to detail. I always double and sometimes even triple check that everything is good and secure before leaving the premises.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! My schedule tends to fill up fast so I always prioritize my current clients first and then take on any new clients if my schedule will allow it during holiday times

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love playing with cats using wand style toys! Most cats seem to love these most! Lasers are fun too

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I have lots of experience with timid cats. I handle them with loving, gentle patience and diligently follow any specific advice from my clients! I follow the cat’s pace and understand it can take time for shy kitties to feel comfortable. I always listen to their personal boundaries and observe their body language! I have found in the past that letting them make the first moves is very helpful: I will often sit in their space at a distance if they are hiding or scared with a few treats on hand and let them observe and approach me first with their curious sniffs then offer them some treats to award their courage! Lots of cats usually open up to me slowly this way. I also find that letting them simply observe me while I tend to other care tasks helps them get comfortable with me in their space!

We LOVE zariah, she's always our firs choice when we need a sitter. She provides photos and detailed updates from every visit which is so appreciated, but most importantly both our kitties - including our shy and skittish girl - love her and trust her. It's rare that anyone but us can get close to her and she usually hisses and runs away from 'strangers', but she lets Zariah give her scritches and play with her each time she has taken care of them.

We, and our kitties, love Zariah. She's conscientious, caring, genuinely loves cats, even our prickly and wary girl trusts her and will come say hi when she's over. She also keeps us updated with pictures and notes about how they're doing. She's always our first choice for a cat sitter when we go away.

This is our third time hiring Zariah for caring for Dino and we will have no one else! She quickly won my shy-boy’s heart and he seems so at ease when we come back from a trip thanks to her care.

My cat felt at ease with her instantly. He was flirting with Zariah in every video she sent! She’s an easygoing, thorough, responsible sitter. We will hire her again.

Zariah was so great with my kitties! She asked all the right questions upon her first meeting and gave me thorough and lovely updates throughout my time away. She showed concern and care for not just the cats but also the space in the house. I can’t wait to have her cat sit for me again!

zariah is fantastic. My cat is a bit anxious and can take time to warm up and she did a really fantastic job making her comfortable. She also provides amazing updates and is willing to go above and beyond. I really trust her with both my cat and my home.

Zariah is amazing!! She really kept my apartment clean (food scatters were gone, cleaned litter pee off the ground) for me while I was gone, even without me asking her to. She sent me photos and gave me detailed synopses on how my cats were during each visit. I would highly highly recommend and will book her again next time I’m out of town.

Zariah is a wonderful cat sitter! I was nervous about using Meowtel for the first time. Zariah was so helpful in guiding me in figuring out what arrangement would work best based on her experience and knowledge. She was lovely with my cat. She also went above and beyond when some apt chaos took place while I was away. She was a life saver! I highly recommend Zariah as a cat sitter!

Zariah was a fantastic cat sitter for our two kitties over the thanksgiving break. She kept us updated with photos, videos, and little notes about how they were doing during each of her visits. She also clearly genuinely loves cats which they definitely pick up on. We would hire Zariah again in a heartbeat if we need a sitter.

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 $32.00. 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.
