🌈 kitties that are happy and healthy!

A bit about me: I grew up in CA with 6 cats at home, as well as some strays. I've spent time volunteering in animal shelters and both my parents work in veterinary medicine. I was never NOT around cats, I love them!

Because of my experience I know what to look out for when it comes to health as well as how to maintain a low stress environment for cats. I treat each kitty with lots of love, care, and patience. (Have I mentioned they're my favorite animal?)

I have the energy to give kittens all the playtime they want! I'm very comfortable with shy cats and move at their pace.
💊For seniors and special needs with medication I take care to make the process as stress free as possible.

Since I moved out I've been missing my fur babies, so cat sitting for me means filling in some much needed cat time plus a side hustle that works with my school schedule :)

🌈Can't wait to meet mew! :3

Learn More About Frankie

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

We have two beautiful foster boys named Liam and Tonky, as well as Ms Kitty. Ms K, previously "Mama Kitty" was a stray who we found over a decade ago pregnant. After homing all of her babies we took her inside and she is now the high-maintenance queen of the house!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love watching my kitties bat a tiny fabric mouse around the house. Their favorite though is kicking the catnip banana!

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

Patience, food, toys, and most importantly moving at the cat's pace. I always tell people wait for the cat to come to you. Mind body language, both yours and the cats!

Frankie has done a spectacular job caring for our cats over the years. We recieved adorable videos and photos, and daily updates on how they ate, their moods, and they were even able to get some lap time with our anxious kitty! Frankie is very communicative. We can go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our cats are in good hands.

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 $29.00. 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!
