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 took amazing care of my cats, Ollie and Churro! She was attentive, loving, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for while I was away. I received regular updates and could tell they were in great hands. Churro can be shy and Ollie has a lot of energy, but Alicia handled both their personalities with ease. I came home to two happy, relaxed cats. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate cat 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 $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.
