Alexandria The Purr-Fect Cat Sitter

Cat Sitting in New York, NY

Howdy! Are you going on a trip and need a reliable sitter or just need someone to check up on your baby while you're at work? I'm your girl!

I'm a pet lover located uptown in Harlem. I've been sat over 15 cats on Meowtel ranging from super shy to extremely extroverted. I adapt to each cat's needs and make it a priority that they feel safe and comfortable above all else. I've administered eye drops, ointments, and pills to a handful of cats and I'm ready to handle any medical needs.

I grew up on a ranch in Texas so I learned how to be prepared for anything life throws at me when it comes to animals. Before Meowtel, I rescued three different kittens on separate occasions ranging from 2-5 weeks old. After nursing them to health and getting a good sense of their personalities, I found purrr-fect forever homes for them...

Before Meowtel, I rescued three different kittens on separate occasions ranging from 2-5 weeks old. After nursing them to health and getting a good sense of their personalities, I found purrr-fect forever homes for them. I'm still in contact with their owners and check up on them every now and then.

As a pet owner, I know how nerve wracking it may be to leave your fur baby in the hands of someone else. I'm ready to ready to perform excellent care for your sweet kitty and make them (and you) feel at ease.

I am vaccinated and boosted against COVID and follow all safety guidelines (wear masks in public around others, social distance, routinely check myself for COVID). I’m happy to follow any guidelines you have in your home, whether you want me to wear a mask indoors, wipe down surfaces that I touch, or rapid test before hand.

Outside of meowtel, I work in Communications at an off-broadway theater. I love to spend my free time catching up on the latest TV shows, movies and plays.

I’ve been told that when I take care of other people’s pets, I make them feel like I’m taking care of one of my own. I hope you’ll consider me to be your kitty’s sitter. I’m ready to go above and beyond for you and your furry friend. If you like what you see or have any questions please feel free to message me!

Ya'll....Alexandria was THE BEST! This was my first time using a cat sitter who wasn't a roommate or friend and they exceeded my already high expectations. My cat Toki was recently adopted and I had a lot of feelings about leaving him but I never had to worry cause Alexandria kept me updated and sent soooo many pictures and told me everything. Toki has been having eye issues and without me saying anything Alexandria administered his eye drops and kept me updated on his eye health. If I could give 10 stars I would honestly. I now have a trusted sitter who my cat loves and me too, so my heart is full and less stressed.

Alexandria is amazing!!! My cat is extremely wary of strangers and Alex completely respected that and handled my nervous cat with ease! I was so glad to see that by the end of the week my cat would even pop out to say a quick hello. Alexandria was incredibly responsive, worked around our schedule, sent us photos, and was always on time. My husband and I will definitely be booking Alex again!

Alex is hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever had (& there have been many!). After our first sitter fell through at the last minute I contacted Alex and boy am I glad I did. We were gone for almost three weeks (off the grid for some of it) and during that time our anxious kitty fell in love with Alex. It was obvious from the many sweet twice a day photos / videos we received that Brownie was in great hands. It gave me such peace of mind that I was able to fully relax and enjoy my vacation. I returned home to to a spotless apartment and more importantly a contented happy kitty. Highly recommend.

Alex was fantastic! Super communicative and caring. I’m always very anxious when we leave the cats with someone else and this was honestly one of the most relaxed experiences I ever had. So many pictures! She was also super chill about both cats throwing up within one weekend, took good care of our very old cat and got our shy cat to become her friend. Would definitley hire her again for the next trip!

Alex was the most amazing cat sitter for our two cats, Meredith and Julian. She provided regular updates (with great pics) and when we returned our cats were happy and well taken care of. While we were gone we had a little water leak scare in our building and Alex went above and beyond by sending us a video of our aparment to assure us that there were no issues inside of our unit. She is trustworthy, reliable, and loves animals. We will for sure be reaching out to Alex next time we need a cat sitter.

I needed a last minute cat sitter on the UES and was so grateful that Alexandria came to the rescue just two days before my trip! She was extremely commmunicative throughout the stay, sending multiple pictures of my cat Pickle and even updating me on her food & water intake. She was patient with my shy cat and very punctual for each visit at our preferred times.

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.

New York 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!
