Cat Sitting in Rensselaer, NY

I would be a good cat sitter because to me, nothing is more important than the well-being and safety of your cats. I have five cats at home whom I love very much and love taking care of. I have worked at an animal shelter before and babysat many cats, which I have enjoyed very much. As your sitter, I promise that I will care for your cats like they are my own.


If I babysit your cat, you do not need to worry. I will do everything in my power to make them as comfortable as possible, and make sure they are well taken care of while you are not home. I would not even consider this a job, babysitting your cats would be a privilege. I will also send lots of pictures and videos to you!

I work 8:30-5, Monday to Friday, but nothing will interfere with my kitty-sitting jobs, your cats will always be my top priority...

I work 8:30-5, Monday to Friday, but nothing will interfere with my kitty-sitting jobs, your cats will always be my top priority. The best times that work for me are in the morning and evening! I am also more than willing to spend the night with your cats to ensure they are well taken care of and given all the love possible. I will try to be as available as possible.

Regarding Covid, I am fully vaccinated, with the booster as well. I am more than willing to wear a mask for every visit if that would make you more comfortable. I will also wash my hands before I get there and before I start caring for your cats. I will also use hand sanitizer as much as possible. Let me know what will make you the most comfortable and I will work accordingly!

I have put the rates that the app recommend for me, but I am always willing to work something out, I just want to make sure your cats are taken care of! That is the most important thing to me! Also wanted to let you know that Meowtel charges extra for holidays, which includes three days before and three days after the day of the holiday!

I can’t wait to meet your cats!

Nora was amazing and went above and beyond and was great with communicating and sending pictures. I’ve had bad experiences in the past and I would trust her to take care of my fur babies. Again she was even able to successfully give oral medication to my male cat, who is not used to getting meds.

We have a special needs Kitty. She's blind and on meds five times a day. Nora always goes above and beyond and we are so comfortable leaving Rosie Mae in her care! Upon our return home Rosie Mae was calm, happy, and never skipped a beat! Thank you Nora for your love and care of Rosie Mae! ❤️

Nora is amazing! this was my first time leaving my kitten with someone other than family and I was so nervous about how it would go. Milo warmed up to Nora super quickly and she took such great care of him. She also sent lots of pictures which put me at ease. I can’t wait to hire Nora again to watch Milo!

This is the second time Nora has cared for my cats, and I was so happy she was available for visits during my recent trip. She sends frequent photos, videos, and messages and is always quick with responses to questions. I could see from the videos that she took time for the cats to get used to her and that they felt comfortable very quickly. I arrived home to calm, happy cats, and will be very happy to work with Nora again for future trips.

This was the first time I left my cats with a pet sitter instead of my neighbor who they've known since I adopted them. At our first meeting, they were very receptive to Lenore, and she was really good with them. While I was gone, she sent lots of photos and videos with the cats interacting and really comfortable with her. I'm so glad to have had her take care of them in their home instead of having to board them - I came home to very happy cats, and highly recommend Lenore!

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.

Rensselaer cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
