I'm Maggie
Cat Sitting in Lynbrook, NY
I have always been compared to Snow White by my friends because their shy cats always feel comfortable with approaching me like in the movies! There was one time when I was visiting a new friend’s house for the first time and she was nervous to introduce me to her cat because of how grumpy he was. I told her I didn’t mind because I love all cats! When we went to go meet him, it took him a few minutes to warm up to me but he let me pet him and even started purring!
My friend was shocked because he was known to give new visitors an unkind welcome. From that point on he and I became best friends and I would always hang out... Hi there! I’m Maggie, a proud cat owner of over 15 years! ☺️ I’m from the Lynbrook/Rockville Centre area of Nassau County!

My goal with caring for your cats is to provide them with a comforting and safe presence while their pet parents are away! I will make sure that they get all of the love and care they need.
Having an energetic cat of my own has made me a master at playing with kitties and making sure they get all of their energy out!! My cat specifically loves catnip toys as well as wands! Although she is extremely playful, she also loves to cozy up under a warm blanket and cuddle. She especially loves it when I make little blanket forts for her!
I currently have a 9-year-old American shorthair named Claire! She is the absolute love of my life 🥹we spend all of our time together and she even keeps me company while I work whether she is sitting on my lap or lying on my desk. I have also recently adopted a kitten and named her Moonshadow (after the Cat Stevens song). She is a chaotic and adorable kitten who is always getting into trouble! She is also very cuddly and loves lay upside down for some reason 🥲 Maybe she was a bat in her past life!

We book Maggie regularly and she never disappoints. She knows both cats well at this point, as well as their routines, and they recognize her the minute she walks in the door.

I’m so grateful to have found Maggie to cat sit! Maggie was absolutely wonderful with my shy but sweet cat. She’s kind, gentle, caring, and knew exactly how to warm up to my cat to make my cat feel safe and comfortable. Maggie is very compassionate and truly trustworthy. She paid close attention to every detail, going above and beyond to make sure my cat was safe, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away for a little over a week. It was so comforting to receive detailed updates and pictures during each of her visits! Maggie’s calming presence helped my cat (and me!) feel at ease, and I came home to a happy, relaxed, clearly well-cared for cat. It’s clear that Maggie is a true animal person! She has a very special way with animals, a really big heart, and genuinely cares for and treats your pet like her own. I’m so thankful to have found her and will 100% book her again! :)

We have reserved Maggie a number of times and have been completely pleased. From the pictures which Maggie sends us daily while we are away the cats seem content and happy. Likewise, Maggie knows where all the essentials are ... can opener, cat food, litter, light switches, so no panic vacation phone calls.

I highly recommend Maggie as a cat sitter! She was wonderful with my sweet and shy cat Luna. I could tell Maggie had a genuine love for cats from the first moment I met her. She was kind and gentle with Luna and understood her needs. Her updates let me know Luna was fed, hydrated, and doing well! Maggie is very responsible, and helpful. I felt completely comfortable leaving Luna in her care, and I am lucky to have found Maggie as my cat sitter!

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.
Lynbrook cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!

We had been using a different meowtel cat-sitter for a long time, but as she become more and more popular, she also became less available. So now Maggie is our regular sitter. She knows Howie and Inara, and they know her. The reservations go smoothly, and I'm not even sure the kitties realize we are gone.

Maggie consistently meets or exceeds our expectations. She has fulfilled a number of reservations for us, and of course we value the standard criteria such as timeliness, cleanliness, etc. More important to us is the fact that our cats "tell" us that things are much more than just "OK".

Maggie is the Cat sitter we book most often and for good reason. She knows our two cats well as well as our home, so things run smoothly. We are always glad to receive the pictures she sends, and when we suggested adding "Churus" to their diet she knew what they were already.

Maggie is always our first choice if she is available. She knows where everything is, sends timely pictures, knows the cats and they know her.

Maggie was absolutely amazing! This was our first time using a cat sitter, and she made the entire experience very positive, both for us and our fur babies. We were able to go on vacation and relax knowing they were well taken care of and in such excellent hands. She gave us so much peace of mind and we were comforted by the updates and pictures she sent. She is patient and kind, and we have already booked her for our next vacation.
