Learn More About Alexis

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been formally cat sitting for about 20 years (since I was about 10). I would have neighbors who would frequently travel and have to leave their 3 cats behind. I sat for them twice a month for 8 years and developed a very close bond with each of their kitties. After moving to the city 7 years ago, I would frequently cat sit for friends that could go out of town, picking up some formal clients along the way.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I would say to prioritize hiring a cat sitter who is overly communicative. Almost anyone can follow directions but asking for clarification during a meet and greet and making sure to send pictures and updates during the drop in is beyond important for your nerves when you are away. It’s priceless to be able to trust a sitter knows excatly what to do and that you know exactly how your kitties are doing while you are away.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I am available all holidays (unless otherwise indicated. Most my family travels to NYC for major holidays so I do not leave the city very much!

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 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!
