My name is Anissa, and I am so excited to get to know your furry-friends! I have about 2 years of experience cat sitting in New York, and grew up on a farm in Oregon where I had 12 cats of my own!
I’m comfortable with pretty much any cat personality and age. I’ve cared for senior cats as well as newborns! I also have experience with separation anxiety, and of course cats that love to cuddle. I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation so I’ll be able to spend as much time with your kitties as they need!
I’m currently living in a small house, so I don’t have any cats of my own as of right now, but that just means I have a lot of kitty love to give!!! I can’t wait to meet you and your cat-panion ᓚᘏᗢ
Learn More About Anissa
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am available during most holidays! I grew up in Oregon so once a year (usually the end of December) I fly back home, but I will be here on the island for every other Holiday!
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favourite cat toy is any sort of string or toy that’s on a stick! I love encouraging cats to jump and play catch with twirling objects!!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I think space and time are the key to any cat that is anxious, or timid. I had a cat growing up that got particularly anxious when our elderly cat passed away, and the most important thing was to stay calm. Letting the cat control its own space is what allows it to feel comfortable with you!

Anissa was awesome! She was very easy to work with; she understood my written instructions perfectly, was very responsive, and prompt. She even did some unexpected extras (cleaning up my cat's puke and making sure my apartment was fine after the large storm), which really shows her commitment to making sure everything is okay, which really helped quell my anxiety! I highly highly recommend her.

Anissa did a great job caring for my cats while I was away. She was very punctual and reliable throughout the entire time. I came home to very happy cats, which says a lot. They usually get quite stressed when I travel, but they seemed to take to her really well and appeared calm and well cared for. She kept me updated each day with how they were doing, which I really appreciated, and she followed all instructions carefully. We also did a pre-visit meetup beforehand so she could get familiar with where everything was, and that preparation definitely showed. Overall, Anissa did an excellent job. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to others.

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 $31.00. 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!

I have 4 cats and I was traveling for work I was looking for someone to take care of my cats and I found this app during searching in my local area I found Anisa in a reserved her and actually it was an amazing choice because Anisa she will give me updating on my cat pictures. She take care of my cats regularly and she had to give them the medication that they need and also to take care of them completely and when I back I saw my cats are in a good position and they are happy and this is very important for me to find my cats are happy so I really highly recommended Anisa because she’s really really good person to take care of cats and to be trusted . And I’m sure it’s not gonna be the last time and for me I will always when I need someone to watch my cat. Our definitely come back to Anissa..

I have been working with Anissa for about a year now and she sets an example of the kind of worker that I strive to be. She carries herself with confidence, works hard to the best of her ability, and makes everyone around her feel welcome. As a cat sitter, Anissa would be giving cat parents peace of mind knowing that she is in their home with their kitties. Being surrounded with animals for all of her life, Anissa becomes friends with every animal she meets. My own (shy) cats love Anissa and see a close friend in her. She has a warm presence and communicates very well so there’s never a question of whether she’s doing the right thing. She is a great leader and takes initiative where it’s needed.

Anissa is one of the strongest people I have ever gotten the opportunity to work with. She cares about everyone she works with and everyone she takes care of. She is one of the most trusted people in our work space. She respects animals with every part of her heart and I know that if you choose her to be your cat sitter she would do the best and most professional job.
