Hello, fellow cat parents! I’m Annabelle, and I’ve spent over 5 years volunteering at a top-rated animal shelter, gaining hands-on experience with cats of all ages and personalities. Whether it’s a playful kitten or a senior cat who craves extra TLC, I understand the unique needs of each feline. During my cat-sitting visits, I prioritize building trust, providing interactive play, and ensuring a calm and comfortable environment. I’ll follow your cat’s routine to a T—whether that means mealtime, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions. What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of cat behavior and my commitment to making every cat feel loved, safe, and cared for in their own space. Your cat is in good hands with me!

Learn More About Annabelle

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is the chance to experience the joy of being around cats, especially since I can’t have one of my own right now due to apartment restrictions. It’s incredibly fulfilling to step into a cat's world, earn their trust, and provide them with the love and care they deserve. I love the challenge of connecting with each cat, whether it’s through play, comfort, or just being there for them while their owners are away. Cat sitting allows me to enjoy the companionship of these wonderful creatures and make their time apart from their owners stress-free.

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

My advice to anyone looking to hire a cat sitter is to prioritize communication and ensure the sitter is experienced and comfortable with your cat’s specific needs. Every cat has their own personality, so it's important to choose someone who will respect their boundaries and routines. Ask about the sitter’s experience, especially with any special needs your cat might have, and make sure they are familiar with the basics of cat care, like administering medication if needed. A good sitter should also be responsive, reliable, and flexible, offering peace of mind while you're away. Trust your instincts—your cat deserves someone who truly understands them!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I’m usually available during holidays! As I am Jewish, I do observe some of the major holidays, but I am flexible and can make arrangements to care for your cat during those times. I understand how important it is for your cat to have familiar care, even during special occasions, so I always plan ahead to ensure I can meet your needs. Please feel free to reach out, and we can discuss any specific scheduling requirements!

Our senior kitty can be difficult, especially when giving him his daily medication. Annabelle was more than up to the challenge and took great care of him. Smart, organized, dependable- Annabelle is the ideal cat sitter!

Annabelle was a fantastic catsitter! This was my first time using a service like this, so I was a little nervous. However, Annabelle sent me detailed updates after each visit, and it was clear that my cat felt super comfortable with her from the beginning!

Annabelle took wonderful care of Sully for four days and kept me updated with sweet photos and messages. It made being away so much easier knowing she was in such loving hands. I would absolutely trust her again.

This was my second time having Annabelle take care of my cat while I was out of town, and I couldn’t be happier! It is so nice to be able to leave town with no stress over how my cat is doing. I’ve come home to a very happy and well cared for cat both times!

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!
