Learn More About Jay

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have an orange tabby named Milo and recently adopted a kitten named Misha! I also grew up around 2 cats, Jasper & Jinx.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I want to do everything in my power to make the cat parent feel as comfortable and at ease as possible entrusting me with their baby! As a cat parent myself who has used meowtel, I know how stressful it can be leaving your cat in someone else’s hands. I pride myself on my ability to communicate and work with all sorts of cat parents to suit your specific needs/wants. :)

What is your favorite cat toy?

I am a big fan of lazer pointers and the ribbon wands! I have not met many cats that don’t go for one of those, including the VERY lazy cat I grew up with, Jasper!

Jay is a wonderful catsitter! They cared for my cat, Agape, with lots of love and patience (Agape's a bit high-strung, LOL!). Jay also provided me with adorable photo updates every visit. Highly recommend ❤️

Frequently Asked Questions

New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
