I'm Jesse
Cat Sitting in East Meadow, NY
During visits, Iāll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and your catās normal routine... Hi! Iām Jesse, a lifelong animal lover and experienced educator who brings patience, reliability, and close attention to detail to everything I do. I know every cat has their own personality and comfort level, so Iām happy to follow their lead, whether that means lots of play and attention, a quiet companion nearby, or simply giving a shy cat the space to feel safe.
During visits, Iāll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and your catās normal routine. Iām also a big believer in communication, so you can expect updates and photos while youāre away and a heads-up if I notice anything unusual.
Iām respectful of both your cat and your home, dependable about schedules, and genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. My goal is for you to feel confident that your cat is comfortable, cared for, and in good hands while youāre away.
I have worked with cats with special needs and medication requirements, as well as our less than social friends.
Learn More About Jesse
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I am new to cat sitting professionally, although I have done it for friends and colleagues many times. I have raised multiple cats myself including high needs and special care cats.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Helping our fur-friends feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also love helping people feel comfortable being away. I used to have big anxiety when I was away from my cat Hermie, and would want daily pictures and videos from the sitter. I totally understand and am happy to work with your needs!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Meeting in your space, seeing how you interact with your cat, learning from you what their body language and preferences are, and introducing myself to your pet in that context as well.

East Meadow cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
