Looking for a loving and organized cat sitter to play with and take care of your cats while your away? As the mom of two cats, I know how much you care for your cats while your away, and I will make sure they are well looked after and that you get lots of updates!
I teach 22 Second Graders as my day job, so caring for cats and keeping track of each client’s needs is like second nature! I adopted my two cats (Essex and Delancey) a year and a half ago when they were just 2.5 months old, so I know a lot about everything kitten. I absolutely adore them, and since my boyfriend has said no more cats, I would like to give back through cat sitting.

Learn More About Emma
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My two cats, Essex and Delancey, are named after the cross streets in Downtown Manhattan where I met my boyfriend.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
When I get a new client, I love to get as munch information as they are comfortable giving about their cats needs and wants! When I leave for the weekend, I leave written instructions for my cat sitters about food, litter, play, and how to leave the apartment safely.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I always take the cats lead. If a cat appears to be anxious, I will avoid direct eye contact and slowly bat my eyes, avoiding any sudden movements and speaking in a calm sweet tone.

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 $30.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
