Learn More About Sharon

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have always owned cats personally and cared for cats of friends and family throughout my life. Professionally I have been cat sitting for a few years. I love it being a cat whisperer in the city.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Providing peace of mind and comfort as corny as it sounds haha but it truly is what I enjoy. Every cat has a cute personality and its such an honor when they come around for comfort. Being able to share that with the owners is kind of special. I also have kitties and worry about them when traveling so I understand how owners may feel while away and want to give them the peace of mind that I would appreciate.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I certainly could not choose a favorite! They're all special in a unique way honestly. I seem to have a specialty with shy cats though. Its always a nice surprise to end up with the shyest kitty suddenly on my lap for pets or ready for play time.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My 2 babies Tinka and LaTi are around 10 and 12 years old. They both adopted me many years ago when they were kittens and they've kept me on my toes ever since! Tinka loves to join in on the virtual meet and greets.

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

You want to feel comfortable and confident in the sitter caring for your cat and home. Ensure that you feel comfortable communicating with the sitter, always check reviews, and that they can align with your needs.

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

We'll arrange a virtual meet & greet to review care and where everything is located. From there, we'll schedule key pick up/drop off & an in person meet and greet if necessary. During the reservation, I will provide video & photo updates every visit.

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

I always verify if there will be roommates or visitors during the reservation. Review with clients what windows, doors, lights, music, etc will be locked or on during the reservation so I know items to monitor. I also send clients video of my arrival & locking up (if possible).

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite is whatever their favorite is! I tend to carry a laser just in case but every cat has a favorite toy.

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

I'll follow their lead. If they need space, I'll give them that space until they're comfortable to come around (if at all and that's totally fine too).

Sharon was so amazing with our two kitties, even prompting our shy one to let her hold him. She was extremely responsive, respectful of our space, and handled our rambunctious boys with wonderful care. We would definitely book her again in the future!

Sharon was amazing! As the new-ish cat mom of a kitty with asthma, I was admittedly anxious to go on vacation. I had no reason to stress - Sharon was a master with his inhaler and charmed my shy guy easily, bringing him out of his shell for her pretty quickly. I was able to breathe easy the whole time I was away, confident that my baby was in safe hands and that Sharon had everything under control. I will definitely be reaching out to her the next time I need a sitter!

2nd time booking with Sharon and it was just as great as the 1st! I could tell from the updates how much my kitty was enjoying all the affection and attention 😂 My cat was treated like a queen all week and I enjoyed Sharon’s detailed updates with ample pictures and videos. Great experience - will book again!

Sharon was amazing, and I don’t say that lightly. I have two anxiety-prone cats who have not always responded well to sitters; Sharon was great with them and took time in our initial meeting and her subsequent visits to figure out how to play with each of them and take care of them on their own terms. She sent lots of pictures and joyful videos from each visit and truly cared for them as if they were her own.

This was our second time having Sharon look after our two girls, and she's just the best! It's great to be able to go away and not have to worry about a thing. I honestly think that Sharon takes better care of our cats than I do!

Thanks again for taking such good care of our boy. We enjoyed the updates while on our Honeymoon. Sharon also alerted us to some unrelated-to-the cat water damage. Her photos and videos helped us get repairs onsite quickly. Sharon is a real gem and takes her caregiving duties seriously.

Sharon did an amazing job taking care of our two cats Tony and Walter! Walter is energetic and needs lots of play time which she graciously provided. Sharon even got our shy boy Tony to engage in some play as well! We are grateful for how responsive she was to our request over a holiday weekend. This was the second time Sharon took care of our boys and we would strongly recommend!

Sharon was an amazing catsitter! She gave detailed updates and took super cute pictures of my cat that were fun to look over – I felt at peace knowing my cat was well taken care of while I was away. You can tell she really cares about animals, and my cat warmed up to her fast! Would highly recommend Sharon if you ever need a catsitter 💕

Sharon has always been a great sitter, but during this visit she literally saved our wedding. we had forgotten part of the grooms attire in the apartment and were out of state, Sharon downloaded Uber package to get the item to a groomsman an hour before the flight. highly recommend!

This was our two cats' first time being looked after by Sharon, but it won't be the last! Sharon's attention to detail was amazing. I was a little concerned about going away due one cat's health issues, but Sharon's detailed daily updates with photos and videos put my mind at ease. Our girls are both shy, but she managed to win them over. I think she took better care of our cats than I do!

I have one very friendly cat and one skittish cat who needed topical medication for a dermatitis issue and Sharon went above and beyond for both of them, giving the friendly one so much attention and doing her best to make sure the skittish one was comfortable but still appropriately medicated. It was great to know that my girls were well taken care of and so good to get so many pictures of them while I was away so I didn't miss them quite so much.

Sharon was absolutely wonderful! Both of my kitties absolutely adored her from the first moments of our meet and greet—including one who is often a bit standoffish. She sent updates with great photos and videos, I could see just how comfortable they were with her. I came back to very relaxed and happy little ones. I am sadly in the process of moving, but should the opportunity arise, I will definitely book her again!

Sharon shared wonderful updates and spoke lovingly with our two kitties. One of our cats is quite shy so she brought a laser toy to play with him from a distance, he seemed really comfortable with her. She provided detailed updates with pictures and video after each visit, will definitely hire her again.

We had a great experience with Sharon! Her communication was stellar -- the detailed updates gave us peace of mind, and the videos we got were so fun. She made sure to update us about when meds were given, any behavioral notes, and apartment updates. We had a really good sense of how our kitty was doing the whole time we were gone, which made traveling a lot less stressful. Thank you, Sharon!

Sharon was an excellent sitter! She managed to meet both of my kitties differing needs with ease: my older kitty that needs meds and just wants quiet cuddles and my energetic 2 year old that needs play time! Long videos documenting how they were doing and specific care steps I'd asked for (e.g., little one needs water from the faucet) were a great addition to the updates, as well as adorable photos. :)

Sharon was excellent! I usually get nervous about leaving my cat but during our first meeting, she promised me that she would be able to successfully take care of my grumpy, not-always-friendly senior girl and she delivered. She was consistent and detailed with updates. She was also respectful of the space and my room mate. Overall, Sharon was an amazing sitter and I highly recommend whether you have a friendly or not-so-friendly cat!

Sharon is absolutely amazing! She answered me within minutes of me requesting a reservation and she is incredibly professional. Key handoff, instructions, and the care itself was so easy and I never had to worry about my babies because I knew Sharon was on top of it. She sends lots of pictures and videos and she keeps in touch in a truly caring way. So thankful for her help and would definitely book with her again if I’m going out of town!

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.
