Cat Sitting in Fresh Meadows, NY
I work from home and have a car so my schedule is extremely flexible!
I love taking photos, so I’ll be your cat’s professional photographer 🐱📸 happy to take some polaroids up... Hi! I’m Julie - I have a family of 2 sweet boys I adopted together. They’re spoiled because I work from home and spend day and night with them! As much as I love them, i hope to share some love with other kitties 💕
I work from home and have a car so my schedule is extremely flexible!
I love taking photos, so I’ll be your cat’s professional photographer 🐱📸 happy to take some polaroids upon request! I’ll make sure they have LOTS of playtime, until they’re sick of me 🎣
I know it’s hard to keep tidy with these shedding creatures around, but it’s important for their wellbeing and therefore important to me! I’m always happy to do the simple things (a quick sweep, taking out the trash, etc) to create the most comfortable environment for your furry friend while you’re gone 💕

I’ve been catsitting for friends and family since a young age, and started on this app in 2024!

Getting to meet new and unique cat personalities and shower them with love! Each cat is a special creature, as we know!

I have 2 (cashew and miso) They aren’t brothers but they were best friends at the shelter. They have their ups and downs but at the end of the day they’re still butt buddies

Of course! I’m happy to be flexible during a holiday and offer a low surcharge.

Julie took such great care of our cat Clover! We appreciated all her communication and photos/videos that she shared with us while we were away! She also helped us out so much when we realized we forgot to update our automatic feeder and adjusted it for us. Julie is reliable, friendly and great with cats!

I knew I trusted Julie the minute Leopold came out from hiding to greet her! Julie kept me updated every single day with so much videos and photos of my dear Leo. She knew I missed him so much and even stayed longer at her visits to ease my mind. Julie followed all my directions to the tea and made sure Leo was satisfied before leaving. Huge thank you to Julie!

Julie did a great job cat sitting my 2 year old Oreo and 4 month old Miso! She sent plenty of videos and photos each visit. She communicated and took instructions well if I forgot to mention something or if she had to let me know if she was going to be late. I appreciated her honesty and transparency. The best part was Julie getting Oreo to warm up to her. Before Julie, Oreo didn’t like any human outside our household. But she was patient and got Oreo to come out of his shell! I recommend Julie as a sitter 👍

Thank you so much for the kind words, Celina! Hope to see Oreo & Miso again in the future :)

This was my first time leaving my 1 year old kitty for 6 days and Julie made me feel beyond comfortable. She was quick with the updates and tons of pictures (which helped the separation anxiety a lot). She paid attention to all of Maia’s routines and gave her as much love as I could have asked for. I will definitely be asking Julie to watch her again, and with the confidence that my baby is in the best hands possible.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Aimee! I loved playing with Maia and would love to take care of her again 🐱

Julie is a kind and wonderful cat sitter! My cat is naturally suspicious of anyone besides me coming in the house and she was able to gain his confidence while not forcing it and he came to her on his own. I was very nervous having a cat sitter I didn\'t know come over, but Julie quickly gave me peace of mind that my sweet boy is in good hands.

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.
Fresh Meadows 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 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!

From beginning to end, Julie was attentive and a good listener. She was patient as well, as I figured out which days I needed her due to changing my vacation days. She communicated throughout. I would book her again. Now I can leave on vacation without a worry.

Julie was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of my cat, followed every instruction perfectly, and spent real quality time playing and bonding with her. Her communication was great and I felt totally at ease while I was away. I came home to a very happy cat, I would 100% book with Julie again and highly recommend her.
