I’m a medical student training to become a women’s health doctor, with a lifelong love for cats. Before starting school, I spent two years volunteering as a front desk assistant and technician at a cat clinic in NYC. I’ve been cat sitting for friends—and occasionally professionally—since I was about 10 years old. Most importantly, I cared for my own beloved kitty for 21 years, including the last five years managing ongoing medical needs such as subcutaneous injections, oral pills, and liquid medications. After recently losing him, I am hoping to help look after and care for others' beloved kitties, with the same love and attention that I always did for my own little boy! 💛

Learn More About Sarah

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

I previously worked as a volunteer front desk / technician at a cat clinic in NYC for 2 years. I have also been cat sitting for friends (and occasionally as a service for profit) since I was ~10 years old. My longest-term clients were two adorable half-Maine Coons whom I had the privilege of caring for for nearly two years. While I was sad to stop sitting for them when I moved from NYC, I’ve since had the joy of caring for many new feline friends here in Boston.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I grew up with my childhood kitty named Puzi (pronounce poo-zee). We adopted him when I was 8 years old and he has been such a special part of my life ever since.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Often I am available during the holidays, but this can sometimes vary based on my hospital schedule. We can absolutely work together to make sure the dates work best for your kitty’s care!

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!
