I'm Sarah | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
Hello! I’ve been cat-sitting for a few recurring clients in the city for the last 10 years, and before moving to New York in 2010, living at home we always had at least three kitties with us to enjoy the company of. So I grew up relating to and taking care of cats. I do not have any pets as this time, because they are not allowed where I live, so helping other people take care of theirs seems like a great opportunity to engage with animals, which I love! I do have experience applying topical ointments/flea preventatives, eye and ear drops, and oral medic...
Sarah's Reviews
Kate
Our cat is 25 and needs a lot of care—daily fluids and medication and extra attention—so we are always a little anxious about someone new caring for her. Sarah was absolutely amazing with her and sent very thorough updates and great photos every day. When we got home, our cat was calm and happy as can be—we will definitely be booking Sarah again next time we travel!
Stephanie
sarah was great! she visited my kitties, gave food, attention, & play time. updated me with pictures. i felt confident in her care, & would definitely hire again
Rhett
we’ve worked with Sarah for several years now anytime we need cat sitting and both we and our cat love her! we were in a very far location and difficult time zone for a long vacation recently, so worried about emergencies coming up, but she gave us total peace of mind before and during that she could handle any challenge that might arise. as usual, her updates were timely and helpful and detailed, and when we returned our cat was way less stressed than expected.
Jessica
Sarah continues to be our hero of a catsitter — our cat knows her and is so clearly happy in her care, and she is an exceptional person too, assuring us we could add more care sessions when our flight home was unexpectedly canceled. She’s the best!
Dawne
Sarah is so kind and great with our Olive. Our minds are at ease when we know she's there.

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 $35.00. 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.
