Learn More About Samantha

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting your cats!! I have always felt that every single cat is equally cute and special in their own way. I genuinely get so excited when meeting a new cat, it brightens my day and does not feel like work.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I know how it feels to leave a pet you love at home while traveling. It is of utmost importance to me that the cat parent feels like they can trust me, so opening up communication and letting them know that no question or request is too small is probably the number one thing I would let them know.

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

A hands-off approach is best for timid or anxious cats. They will let me know if they want pets, sniffs, or cuddles. It is their home, not mine. I am a guest, and I believe it is best to follow their cues for attention. Many cats, especially New York cats, come from really rough backgrounds, and I don’t blame them for being timid. Trust is earned, and over time the pets and snuggles will come of they’re ready. Until then, I will make sure they have everything they need!

Frequently Asked Questions

New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
