I am a cat owner for 10+ years. I can do any cat sitting duties (feed, litter, meds, play, pet) and show your pet lots of love. I will adjust to the cats behavior whether they are shy or playful to make them more comfortable. I also have a dog and bunny back home in Michigan so I love all animals! I am able to give any medications to your cat or do other special requests. I can easily visit anywhere in the Manhattan throughout the day and make multiple visits a day if needed. I am also open to overnight stays or longer term visits if needed.
At Columbia I study cognitive science and architecture. I also enjoy reading and playing violin. I grew up in Michigan my whole life and moved to New York four years ago.

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 $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!
