Hello! Thanks for checking out my page. I’m a very experienced cat care taker, working with cats of all levels medically and behaviorally.

Thanks for checking out my page. I’m a very experienced cat care taker, working with cats of all levels medically and behaviorally. I myself have 2 cats, one of which regularly takes medication and started completely unsocialized. I love meeting them where they are and respecting their boundaries when set. I also love playing with them to find out their favorite toys and play styles! Overall, I just love taking care of cats, and spoiling them.

I get that all cats have their quirks, so feel free to be as specific as you need! Super comfortable with even the most tedious direction (I do the same for my kitties!).

Learn More About Sarah

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats, a chunky diva named Queenie and a sensitive tri-pod named Penfold (long story). They both have flutd, and Penfold has a few medication requirements to help with his anxiety. I am unapologetically obsessed with them!

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

Always make sure you’re comfortable with the person caring for your kitties. Pets are family, and they deserve the best care. Especially if they have special requirements, I highly recommend going with someone who has experience, that’ll offer you some peace of mind.

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

I personally have taken in two cats who had not been previously socialized and I learned that patience is the key! While it may be disappointing not being able to give your cat snuggles right away, they will tell you when they’re ready. You can push the boundary slightly, but really the ball is in their court! Plus, not all cats like a lot of direct affection, some receive it in other ways like playtime and quiet sitting.

Sarah is an incredibly thoughtful and attentive cat sitter! My cat is a bit shy and very anxious around new people, so I was nervous to try someone new but am so glad I did. Sarah made me feel very at ease by sharing informative updates along with photos and videos. She gave my cat space to warm up and took wonderful care of her. Would highly recommend!!

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!
