I'm Julie
Cat Sitting in North Babylon, NY
My goal is to keep your cat comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I'll take the time to earn their trust and provide the attention they need.
I provide feeding, fresh water, litter care, companionship, and detailed updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind... I'm Julie, a retired Registered Nurse and lifelong cat lover who understands how important it is to leave your cat in caring, dependable hands while you're away.
My goal is to keep your cat comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I'll take the time to earn their trust and provide the attention they need.
I provide feeding, fresh water, litter care, companionship, and detailed updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Before accepting a booking, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet so I can get to know you and your cat. During this visit, I'll learn about your cat's routine, feeding schedule, favorite hiding spots, and any special preferences they may have. I'll also review home access, emergency contacts, and any instructions needed to keep your cat comfortable and secure while you're away.
Equally important, this visit allows your cat to meet me in a calm, low-pressure way before my first sitting visit. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your cat. I believe in open communication between myself and my cat parents so you can rest assured that your baby is being well cared for.
Learn More About Julie
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I was a devoted cat mom for many years for my two precious babies, Meow Meow, a beautiful orange tabby (see profile pic) my handsome boy and Cupcake, my spoiled high maintenance tortie princess. Living with them taught me to understand their unique personalities, body language, routines, and needs, and helped me develop a patient, individual approach to caring for them.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toy is the wand with the feathers and bells on the end. I find that cats really respond to that because it awakens their natural hunting instincts and provides many happy minutes of active interaction.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I understand that some cats are naturally shy, cautious, or anxious when meeting new people. Rather than forcing interaction, I allow timid cats to approach me on their own terms and at their own pace. During visits, I maintain their normal routine, speak softly, and create a calm, predictable environment to help them feel secure. Even if a cat prefers to observe from a distance, I make sure they are eating, drinking, using the litter box normally, and showing no signs of distress. My goal is not to force friendship but to help your cat feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

I’ve know Julie for many years and for many of those, she has been a “kitty Mom”. I’ve personally seen her to be responsible, reliable and loving to her beautiful fur family and has gone above and beyond for the health and well being of her beautiful babies. I would 100% recommend Julie to care for my kitties while I was away and trust that they are in the best of hands.

Julie watches our cat while we are away on vacation, and she is absolutely wonderful. She is friendly, caring, and so loving with animals (esp cats). It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands. She sends pictures and updated throughout the time. We’re so grateful for her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

North Babylon cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
