I absolutely love cats and their quirky little personalities. I believe it’s so important to get to know them individually and let them get to know you. I appreciate that cats have many needs, including cuddling and playing, so I make sure to watch their body language and meet them where they’re at.
I have 3 cats of my own who I adopted as siblings. They are tons of fun and keep me laughing everyday with their silly antics. I also always had cats growing up, so I’m very experienced with different types of kitty personalities and needs.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My three kitties were found at a bakery so they all have baked good names: Shortcake, Cheesecake, and Tiramisu :)
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
When working with a new cat parent, I make sure to get to know them and their cat(s) by active listening and paying close attention to any instructions. As a cat parent, I relate to how important it is to trust a sitter, so I do my best to form a trusting relationship.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I absolutely love a wand toy! I find I can get any cat to engage with it if I give a little patience and pay attention to what interests them.

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 $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 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!
