I'm Sarah | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
I would love to be the one to give your kitties all of the affection and care they need in your absence, as I am a cat mama myself and absolutely know the apprehension about having to be parted from your fur babies! (I still get anxious about leaving her.) I worked for a reputable cat sitting agency for a long while, but now am a part-time personal assistant. I miss getting to meet and spend time with the cats of NYC however (Iāve met all kinds!), and am interested in getting that back into my life! I am a diehard ācat personā, always have been, although I love all animals really. I also am a Meowtel client myself, so Iāve definitely been on the other side of this! (Meowtel rocks!) My own sweet kitty, Willow, is very much on the shy si...

Sarah's Reviews
Kate
Iāve used Sarah twice now and she is always so thoughtful. Great pics and updates. She genuinely cares and made my cat feel loved. Will definitely book her again!
Sharon
Sarah kept us updated with many pictures and detailed descriptions of how the girls were doing every day for a week. I definitely will book again!

Unfortunately, I honestly donāt know if I could recommend Sarah as a cat sitter. She was very responsive and brought in my packages which was very nice of her. On the other hand, almost every day the updates she sent me were from my own bed. Maybe itās the New Yorker in me, but a stranger laying (yes, laying down) on my bed with their outside clothes on and potentially shoes makes me uncomfortable, but she was taking care of my cat and had full access to my home so I didnāt feel comfortable saying anything. Additionally, I came home (1 day after her last day of care) to completely empty food and water bowls. I always leave a second big bowl of food and of water out when I travelāthat I explicitly told her about, sharing that I worry my cat will not have access to what he needsāand those were empty and bone dry as well. Finally, his litter was everywhere when I returned, not a huge deal, but it was much more than would just be from him jumping from his box. She was observant of my cat and that he had thrown up mid way through my travels which I appreciate, but the lack of boundaries and coming home to 4 completely empty bowls where food and water should be was quite shocking to me. I had never truly felt the need to get a pet camera and monitor my catās care while I was away until now.

Sarah stepped up at the last minute to help use. Much appreciated and the cats seemed satisfied, although it is always hard to tell with them. Thanks.

Sarah was great with my 2 shy cats! She is very communicative and quick to response. Would absolutely recommend her!

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 $33.00. 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.
