I'm Kaitlin | Cat Sitting in New York, NY

My dearest dream in life is to open a senior cat sanctuary. I find it absolutely heartbreaking that older cats are less likely to be adopted from shelters and want to be able to give them a fur-ever home for whatever time they have left. The proceeds from cat sitting will go towards the actualization of this dream. I am fully vaccinate...

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love being able to give cat parents peace of mind while they’re away from their fur-baby!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a nine-year old tiger tabby named Roach. I know it’s an unusual name, but I call him that because he’s a survivor, and he reminds me that I am too. Cockroaches can live under extreme conditions, including high levels of radiation. My Roach lived as a part of a feral cat colony for the first seven years of his life, during that time he developed feline immunodeficiency virus. Despite these challenges, Roach has become the sweetest and most affectionate cat I’ve ever met. FIV is one of the most common infectious diseases among cats. The virus is cat-specific and can’t spread to other species, including humans. A FIV+ diagnosis makes it much harder for a cat to find a home, and unfortunately often leads to unnecessary euthanasia based on outdated veterinary advice. With proper care, FIV+ cats can live long, healthy lives.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

The first cat I ever loved (rest in peace, Misty) was the definition of a scaredy cat! She taught me that when it comes to shyer (and older) cats, patience is essential! I consider myself a bit of a scaredy cat whisperer, and can make the shyest of kitties warm up.

Kaitlin was great with Oliver and Wyatt! Wyatt can have a bit of anxiety when I leave him and she did a great job keeping me updated on him! I would def. recommend Kaitlin.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $36.00. 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.
