I'm Justine | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
I have been fostering cats of all shapes, sizes, breeds, ages, and personality types for 3 years for 3 major shelters in New York City (ASPCA, ACC, and Best Friends Animal Society). I have administered topical, ear, and eye medication, and insulin injections. I've cleaned dozens of litter boxes, socialized dozens of cats, and made sure I gave them all the love they needed! They bring me such joy :) For meet and greets: Complimentary meet and greets with the first booking! Usually, if you don't need a key hand-off, meet and greets can be done via video. If a key needs to be handed off, obviously we'll need an in-person. If it's a last-minute reservation, please let me know in messaging if a video meet and greet is okay, because I may have to decline if it's too last minute and I can't get there beforehand to get the key. End of reservation: I prefer if the key can be left in the...
Justine's Reviews
Patrick
fantastic sitter! kept us updated and solved problems we had not foreseen!
Matt
Justine did a wonderful job taking care of our cat! We would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Linda
Justine was great! She got along super well with our kitty Jasmine from day one. Jasmine mostly wanted affection and pets, and welcomed that (and some playtime) from Justine each day. It was clear that Justine cared a lot about making sure our cat felt loved and appreciated while we were out of town, and she kept up super well with all of Jasmine's needs. I would not hesitate to book Justine as a cat sitter again, wonderful experience!
Molly
Justine is communicative and professional! She had no hesitancy about handling some of my kitty’s changing health conditions. And my cat loves her :)
Helene
Justine took great care of my cat while I was out of town and provided wonderful care and updates. My cat wasn’t up to playing like she usually is, but Justine tried anyways! Will definitely book her again!

Frequently Asked Questions
New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
