Learn More About Kate
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My husband and I currently have 1 rescue cat named Whiskers! I grew up in NJ where my family took in 2 female strays, one of which eventually had 2 male babies. I have familiarity with single and multiple cat households, cats of every age category and both genders.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I would advise them to do their research and hire someone that would work with them and their cat. I was (and still am) in the cat parents’ shoes so I am familiar with the process and want to feel comfortable with who is watching my pet. Schedule a meet and greet after selection is my next step. It’s so important to meet not only the parents but the cat in their environment. Learning their routine, toys, habits, etc is pivotal and also eases any angst the parents might have.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I always lets animals come to me. I am not one to force a pet, snuggle or interaction. I have a timid cat myself and she took a while to warm to my husband and I. I know it’s not an easy process and takes time but I’m willing to take on the timid and anxious while you are away. I feel like I have a strong rapport with animals and they come around to me.

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!
