Learn More About Ren

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Creating a bond with each cat! It's so rewarding when they can smell me and tell that I'm a new friend with treats. It can start with lots of slow blinking and positive associations.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I had a yapper! His name is Chicken. He's a grumpy, white puffy Persian. He's the big ball with gold eyes in my pictures.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Have a chat with any sitter before you schedule, and ideally a meet and greet. Please tell them anything they need to know about your cats, like your pet's medical history, hiding places, dosing times, and cleaning schedules. Better to be safe! Frequently Asked Question (FAQ): Why do a 45-60 minute session? Answer: It's for the classic, thorough, detailed pet sitting experience. If you have any number of cats with medical issues, those longer sessions are your best option for everyone's peace of mind. 20 minute sessions are really for situations where you have a single cat, no medical issues, need a quick/auto food and litter check, minimal cleaning, pets or playtime.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure the doors are locked after entry and exit. I follow any directions from the pet parent such as latching any cabinets or windows closed before leaving a room. I make sure the pets have access to their cleaned litter box, food and refreshed water!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I love being in NYC/NJ over the holidays. Last minute requests are welcome. I usually respond within the day. Feel free to send a message!

What is your favorite cat toy?

Laser pointers are great, following by the ones that give out snacks in increments if a cat is feeling snacky. 🐟

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

Patience is key. Let them come to you over time, a treat or two has usually gotten the ball rolling but I've worked with feral cats where it's still hard for them to rust people. Consistency helps.

Ren was absolutely fantastic. I was a little nervous leaving my rescue boy for nearly 2 weeks, but Ren really came through for us. She sent me daily updates with pics/video and took care of Hank like he was her own. Next time I have an extended trip, there will be no worries if Ren is around!

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.
