** I would love the opportunity to spend dedicated-time with your cat(s) (and best friend!). It is often expensive to ensure pets get the love and care they deserve**

I am happy to work with you to ensure a well-rounded service that fits your budget. I am also a self-proclaimed animal photographer 📸 I would be happy to send you pictures of your happy cat(s) while caring for them.

Notable Experience:
- Worked 4 years as a Meowtel Sitter
- Administered inhalers, oral medication, and topical ointments
- Administered IV fluids and other subcutaneous fluids (i.e., insulin)
- Supported behavioral understanding and trust building

Professional Considerations:
I work M-F in office (located in FiDi). My work hours are 10:00 - 18:30 ET. That said, I can always support before and after work hours with short 20-minute visits.

15% off for long-term support (10+ days of visits) & special rates for returning clients!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My cats are all named after 80s musicians - Bowie, Prince, and Lennox (after Annie Lennox from the Eurythmics). I hate traveling without them, so I understand how hard it is to be away from your kittens / cats.

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

My philosophy is FIRST and FOREMOST to always respect the animal, each with its unique personality. I have worked with shy cats that need time before they come near me and I’ve also worked with cats that completely hide throughout the reservation. I find my approach varies based on the cats needs and what they are communicating. But I NEVER chase or intrude on a cat's private space. I often play the ‘Calm My Cat’ playlist to provide white noise for any loud / startling sounds (e.g., opening a can or moving litter around). I also happily sit and patiently wait, staying an extra few minutes if the cat approaches at the end of the visit. Another thing that works is making soft eye contact and blinking at the cat, I read that’s how cats smile when they’re comfortable.

Ruth Anne was wonderful! This was the first time we didn't go through someone we already knew to care for our cats and I have to say it was an incredible experience. Our cats are very nervous around new people but they quickly warmed up to her. She kept us updated on how each visit was going with so much detail and included photos and videos. Our boy Charlie clearly fell in love with her right away and one of our girls who always hides and never lets new people come near her came out on the first day and let Ruth Anne pet her! One of our cats needs multiple medications including SubQ fluids and everything was handled smoothly. We are so grateful for the care she gave our cats and her attention to detail. Our cats clearly felt safe and well cared for. I feel lucky to have found Ruth Anne and we will definitely be working with her again.

Nanaimo had a great time (again) with Ruth Anne! I could tell our kitty missed his friend when we returned from our trip. Ruth Anne made sure Nanaimo was in tip top shape and even noticed small changes in him, like an extra itchy ear (which we got checked out at the vet when we were back)! She even brought him an extra snack when he ran out of his favorite Churus. Ruth Anne is the best at what she does - keeping kitties healthy, happy, and safe!

This was the third time that Ruth Anne has taken care of our Nanaimo while we’ve been away, and it was the longest trip we’ve taken so we were a little nervous being separated! But we had absolutely nothing to worry about because as usual, Ruth Anne was our kitty’s best friend for two weeks. She sent lots and lots of photos, videos, and updates on his health and temperament, it felt like we were there with them! They had such a good time playing together and invented new games like real besties. My kitty is so lucky to have Ruth Anne looking after him and keeping him healthy and safe! It gave us such peace of mind and really helped us fully enjoy our trip. Thank you Ruth Anne!!

My cat loved Ruth Anne. By the end of our two week Holiday, he was snuggling up to her. She was highly communicative and sent many updates everyday including pictures and videos. I would absolutely use Ruth Anne again and highly recommend her.

Ruth was awesome! She gave us tons of phot and video updates during each visit, and our cat loved her company. Futhermore, she was super communicative about her arrival times and about the details of each visit, making us super confident that she was taking great care of our cat and our apartment. will definitely be hiring her again!

i couldn’t be more thankful for ruth anne and the love she showed our sweet strudel over the weekend. from the very beginning, it was clear how gentle and caring she is, and strudel was completely smitten with her. this was our first time leaving our kitty, and i was feeling pretty anxious, but ruth anne put my mind at ease right away. she kept in touch the whole time, sent the most precious photos and followed every little detail we shared with so much care (and let us know at the end of every visit what was done!). everything went so smoothly. we feel so lucky to have found someone as kind and thoughtful as ruth anne. we already can’t wait for the next trip knowing our girl will be in such loving hands. truly so grateful!

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.

Rego Park 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!
