Animals are an important part of my life, and I like to work them into everything I do. I volunteer at the local shelter for cat socialization and caretaking during the academic year. I’ve taken care of a multitude of people’s cats both house sitting and daily check-ins, starting with friends and family before taking on other clients. I make sure to always be communicative during sits, sending photos and cute updates. I know it can be hard to be away from our furry companions (even on vacation), so I like to alleviate worry where I can. I’m a freelance photographer/writer/filmmaker, so I treat sitting as my designated time to write, edit, and research which will mean a lot of quality time spent with your little furball!

Learn More About Rebecca

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

I have been cat sitting on/off for about 4 years now. I’m in school during the academic year, so I typically do sits during the break as a means of seeing new places and lending a helping hand!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The cats, duh! No, seriously, my mother is deathly allergic to cats, so I was rarely around them when I was younger and cannot have one as a pet (because I want her to visit me). Getting to spend my time with some loving cats for a week or so at a time fills the cat-shaped void in my heart.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I did daily visits to a neighbors’ cat while they were on vacation, and he was the most loving little guy ever. Every night when I came by to feed him, I ended up watching a movie on the couch just to spend a little more cuddle time with him.

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!
