Vivian is far and away our kitties' favorite sitter! We all are absolutely satisfied customers, multiple times over. They trust her and love her and let her give them their toothpaste and brushings. She even gets our lazy boy to jump for the wand toy! And her attention to detail is second to none. Vivian is the best!

100% recommend, we’ve booked Vivian multiple times. Vivian went above and behind being flexible as my wife went into labor!

Vivian noted all the details of our two cats - from meal portion, food mix and automatic feeder. I recommend Vivian!

Vivian is truly the best! She is the only sitter where I have zero doubts my girls are getting the best care. My cats have two very different personalities and Vivian manages them both wonderfully. One of my girls also has chronic KD and needs quite a few supplements in her food. This is no problem for Vivian.

Our cats are usually hesitant with strangers but they love Vivian. She's so wonderful with them, and she can handle all the various logistics of dealing with their different meds and dietary needs. We never book anyone else if we can help it!

Vivian was terrific. She stayed at my home for 5 nights caring for my 10 month old Burmese cat Pip. My home was immaculate when I returned, many photos and videos of playtime with Pip, responded immediately to any comments I had. I would hire Vivian again and I highly recommend her. Vivian is very personable and friendly.

Vivian was awesome! She was super responsive, organized, efficient, and detail-oriented. i really appreciate how she noticed details like there being litter on the floor and that i should run the roomba. This is so helpful since i was gone for a long-ish vacation and couldn't fully keep track of the state of the apartment. Would 100% trust my kitties with Vivian next time i go on vacation!

Vivian is an absolute gem, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. My wife and I traveled for 8-nights over the holidays, entrusting Vivian with the care of our special needs kitty, who requires medication every 12 hours for her epilepsy. To say that Vivian went above and beyond is an understatement. Vivian's attention to detail was extraordinary. She familiarized herself with our cat's intricate eating schedule, medication requirements, play preferences, and adhered diligently to all our specified "house rules." Communication with Vivian was a breeze; she was proactive, incredibly responsive and exhibited a level of professionalism that set our minds at ease throughout our holiday. What truly sets Vivian apart is her thoughtfulness. Upon our return, we were pleasantly surprised to find our apartment not only well-maintained but in better condition than when we left. Vivian's meticulous care extended beyond our cat to the overall tidiness of our living space, including picking up packages and watering our Christmas tree. Without a doubt, Vivian has earned a permanent spot in our trusted circle of pet caregivers. I wholeheartedly look forward to booking her services again and, if I could, would gladly have her on retainer. Vivian's combination of competence, warmth, and conscientiousness makes her a standout choice for anyone seeking top-tier pet care.

Vivian took care of my two girls for over a week. One of them has medical issues and Vivian was wonderful about giving her the proper supplements each meal. They both have very different personalities and she was able to adapt and connect with each of them quickly. I always looked forward to her updates. I would definitely recommend Vivian!

I had an exceptional experience working with Vivian. Went on a trip for two weeks, the longest I have ever left my cat, and Vivian made sure to take detailed notes during our meet and greet and provide regular updates and videos when I was away. She went above and beyond brushing my cat twice a day and making sure she was active. My cat takes a bit to warm up to new people but she was purring with Vivian after only a day or two which was very reassuring to see. Highly recommend Vivian and look forward to working with her again soon!

If you are worried of leaving your beloved kitty while you are away or worried about a stranger coming into your apartment….I was in the same spot! Until I found Vivian…LOOK NO FURTHER!! She is great: she will take care of your home, and mostly love and take care of your kitty as much as you would do! She takes notes of their habits, creates a routine, brings treats and toys, send updates with photos and videos…just amazing! Our vacation went so much better, knowing that Luna was so well taken care of! They are besties and will definitely work with Vivian again.

Vivian was great, she accepted a weekend-long sitting ask on semi short notice and was very communicative. Accommodating, easy to coordinate with, considerate and conscientious. She shared daily details and photos about her visits and was personable. I was relieved to have my cat Buns in responsible and caring hands.

this is the 4th or 5th time we’ve used Vivian and she’s amazing! she provides us with lots of updates with photos and videos of our guy making us feel so comfortable, and he absolutely adores her. She even brought him a toy she thought he would like for play time! I would absolutely recommend Vivian for any of your cat sitting needs!

Bryce
Vivian was a great sitter for our cat during a week or so when we were out of town over the holidays. She sent regular updates including pictures & videos, and was proactive in going above the minimum feeding/litterbox, ie asking to clean up spilled litter from the floor. Additionally, when we had some sudden plumbing trouble requiring immediate repairs, she sent very helpful in identifying the issue (letting us know the water was out; she ensured to bring bottled water for our cat on subsequent days) & doing what she could to help destress our cat during the repairs. Overall, Vivian was great & would highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter!

We were so lucky to have Vivian to look after our cat Chili during holidays. She was very communicative and sent daily updates with photos and videos. We didn't have much toys as we just moved in the new place however she brought toys with her to play with Chili. He is usually very shy cat and doesn't get close to strangers but Chili was responsive to Vivian. Definitely recommend it to anyone looks for caring and communicative sitter

Vivian was the perfect sitter while we were out of town for the holidays. She took very good care of our cat Velma, and I appreciated the daily pictures and updates. During our initial meeting she took detailed notes regarding Velma’s care, and she even got shy Velma to eat out from her hand! I would highly recommend Vivian for your cat sitting needs.

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 $32.00. 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.
