Learn More About Alicia

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I share my home and my heart with two sweet rescue cats, Candy and Liam. Candy is a fearless little tripod who doesn’t let anything slow her down, and Liam is the king of cozy naps and cuddles. They’ve taught me so much about patience, trust, and the magic of feline companionship.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Feather wands are definitely a favorite, there’s just something magical about the way they mimic real prey. I love using them because they spark curiosity and encourage natural stalking, pouncing, and leaping. Other favorites are a crinkly tunnel, or a cardboard box. It's fun to discover what makes each kitty light up.

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

With shy or nervous cats, I move slowly, speak softly, and respect their boundaries. I give them space to observe me and get comfortable at their own pace. I pay close attention to their body language and create a calm environment by minimizing sudden movements or loud noises. Earning the trust of a timid cat can take time, but it's incredibly rewarding, and I'm always grateful with they decide I'm worth a little nuzzle :)

Alicia was kind and gave detailed updates while she visited by kitties. Very convenient that she lived close by. I would hire her again next time I travel. Thanks and happy holidays

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 $30.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
