Learn More About John

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

I’ve been caring for cats for over 10 years, both personally and as a cat sitter, and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do. Over the years, I’ve cat-sat for a wide variety of feline personalities, from energetic kittens to senior cats with special needs, and I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to adapt to each cat’s unique preferences and routine.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I absolutely adore cat sitting! It’s so rewarding to build trust and connect with each cat on their own special level. There’s nothing quite like earning a slow blink from a timid kitty or seeing a usually independent cat choose to snuggle up next to me. I love learning about their unique personalities, figuring out what makes them feel safe and happy, and being a calm, reliable presence while their owners are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do have my own kitty! Her name is Ivy and she is a 6 month old siamese that absolutely loves playtime, cuddles, and all the attention she can get!

John is the best cat sitter I’ve had. He was able to administer an inhaler to my more skiddish tortie with asthma, who normally won’t let anyone but me near her. Both the cats loved him and were happy and well taken care of when I returned. John was kind, timely, and professional. He gave me many updates and photos, which really helped me feel at ease.

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 $31.00. 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.
