Debbie is absolutely amazing! Our senior cat was having digestive issues. Debbie took it in stride, giving medicine and modifying his meals to make him comfortable. She’s so kind, professional and reliable. I can’t say enough praise and thanks for how well she took care of our big guy.

Debbie was so nice, and our cat loved her. Also, a great pet photographer!! She sent us pictures every day. We will be working with her again!

Debbie is terific. The cat and litter and food and apartment were left in pristine condition. Her photos of William cat were of excellent quality and relieved my apprehension about leaving William. She is VERY good with cats and William, who can be shy, apparently loved her. I really recommend Debbie if you love your cat.

Debbie was great and really responsive! This was my first time booking a cat sitter and I'm so glad I booked with her. She was gentle and I can tell she genuinely loves cats. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in the Forest Hills/Rego Park area. Thank you again!

An incredible person for my cats as always. They love her and I feel safe leaving them with her (I am an anxious cat dad). I will always check to see if she is available when I need to leave the cats for a trip

Frequently Asked Questions

Forest Hills cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
