Learn More About Sean

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

I've been cat sitting since I can remember! (No but seriously, since I was like 14?) I used to cat sit for a neighbor with 9 cats and even a teacup maltise! Can you believe it? Since then, I've even worked for multiple cat rescue organizations!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Well, getting to hang out with all different types of cats, of course!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two beautiful rescued street cats of my own. Someone once described them as "the big one" and the "small climber" and I've never gotten over it. Martin, the big one, is a beautiful tabby with an orange belly and a clipped ear. Juni, the small climber, is a goofy little black cat that's always blep-ing

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

Make sure to communicate what you expect! Do you want daily updates? Do you want videos/pictures? What is most important to you? Make sure your cat sitter pays attention to the details!

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

My wife and I work together to fulfill longer cat visit requests but only if you are comfortable with that. Past cat parents have described this as getting "two for the price of one." We work together to give you the best availability options.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yep, my family is local so I stay local for the holidays! Born and raised New Yorker with family in NJ as well.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is my cats' favorite cat toy... and that is usually garbage. He loves to play with milk caps or random little pieces of paper. Empty card board boxes. You know the drill. Also anything with catnip, he lovesssss cat nip. As for my other cat, she's all about yarn and string and... laces too!

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

My tabby is timid and anxious. I don't try to force anything. I just talk to them, put my hand out and see their reaction, try to bribe them with snacks or toys. Patience usually works really well. Better than most people expect. Especially with cats! Pro tip: blink at them slowly, and make sure you don't show them your teeth!

Sean was great with our cat, Essex. We appreciated Sean’s patience and willingness to coax Essex with playtime and treats. Thanks for caring for our boy and giving us peace of mind while away!

Sean took great care of our little boy Jupiter, playing with him and giving him snuggles. When we got home the litter box was clean and Jupiter was happy and well fed! We’ll certainly work with Sean again :)

Sean was everything we were looking for in a cat-sitter for our 2 cats - on time, took lots of pictures, and followed our instructions to the letter. Sean took time to really play with our cats and make sure they each got attention. We'd be so happy to have Sean cat sit again and I'm sure our kittens would love it too!

Sean was great! Very responsive and punctual, followed every instruction given, and got along extremely well with our cat. I will be hiring Sean again in the near future and would highly recommend them to anyone else who needs a sitter.

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.
