I have grown up with cats all my life and have been cat sitting since I was in high school. When working retail, I was chosen to care for the shop cat! I have experience with administering medication. Gaining a cat’s trust is the most satisfying thing in the world to me and I love to spend time with them! I love cuddle, pet or keep cats company when I visit. It is my goal to make the cats the most comfortable to become their friend :)

Learn More About Claire

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

I have been cat sitting since 2015, when my high school professors trusted me to take care of their two cats. Similarly, in college, I took care of the faculty family’s cat in my dorm. I have had cats since childhood and hope to adopt another someday!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My soul cat was named Finn ❤️ he was a rescue Russian Blue and grew up with me in my family home. I was his favorite human, and whenever we were together, we were cuddling with his head under my chin. I miss him so much!

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

I respect the timid nature of some cats and know that pressuring them to come out and interact with me will not work. I give ample time to allow them to acclimate to me being in their space. If a cat is especially shy, I will not force them to play or accept pets, and the visit will consist of making sure they are comfortable, fed, and have everything they need.

Claire was wonderful with my cats! She was kind, communicative, and very detail-oriented, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. When our feeding machine unexpectedly broke, she quickly troubleshooted the issue and handled everything seamlessly. I’d highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.

Claire was absolutely wonderful with my cats. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely caring. She sent updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear my cat felt comfortable and safe with her. You can tell Claire truly loves animals, she goes above and beyond. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind.

Claire was fabulous. Easy to coordinate with her as well as understanding of the request. She also know well how to get along with different cats as I had three with somewhat different personalities. Look forward staying connected with her for future support!

Claire was fantastic! She was very responsive and took great care of my cat. We were delayed coming back and she was able to cover care for an extra two days. I highly recommend her. We look forward to hiring her again!

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!
