Caring And Reliable Cat Sitter

I'm Emily

Cat Sitting in Islip, NY

I am a lifelong animal lover and am especially passionate about cats. I currently have a cat of my own who I love working on harness training and other enrichment activities. Although I am new to Meowtel, I’ve been helping my aunt with her pet sitting business since I was a child, giving me years of hands-on experience caring for animals.

Having owned cats throughout my life, I understand every cat has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and ways of communicating...
I am a lifelong animal lover and am especially passionate about cats. I currently have a cat of my own who I love working on harness training and other enrichment activities. Although I am new to Meowtel, I’ve been helping my aunt with her pet sitting business since I was a child, giving me years of hands-on experience caring for animals.

Having owned cats throughout my life, I understand every cat has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and ways of communicating. My goal is to make each cat feel safe, comfortable and taken care while you’re away!

I am attentive, patient, and reliable. I genuinely enjoy taking the time to know each individual kitty. I also understand finding someone you trust can be stressful and I want to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands. I am happy to provide updates, photos and clear communication.

Whether your cats love playtime, cuddles or prefers their space, I’m happy to meet them where they are at. I would love the opportunity to give your cat the same care and attention I would want for my own!

Learn More About Emily

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one cat, he is a 1 year old gray tabby named Kovu! He is silly, smart, and loves sitting in drawers.

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

I believe communication is key. Going in, I will ensure I understand instructions, such as routines, hiding spots, doors/windows that need to remain closed, and any areas that are off-limits. I double check doors are locked and secure and am careful with housekeys, codes, or other information. During visits I pay attention to behaviors and will communicate if I notice a concern. My goal is to provide peace of mind!

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

For cats that are particularly timid or anxious, I make sure I come in calm and ready to meet them where they are at. I will ask about their likes/dislikes, toys, treats etc. so I have a sense of who they are going in. I am more than happy to just sit in the same room with them and give space as long as is needed.

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.

Islip cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
