I'm Tess | Cat Sitting in Ridgewood, NY
Hello there, I'm Tess, a dedicated cat enthusiast residing in the NYC area. As a long-time cat owner and caregiver, I have honed my skills as a cat sitter over many years. I love providing companionship, attention, and care to cats while their owners are away. ❤️ My expertise in cat care ranges from catering to not only my own cat but also to the cats of my clients and even the neighborhood strays. I pride myself in being well-versed in all aspects of cat care, including specialized attention for cats with conditions like heart or kidney disease. I can administer both liquid and pill medications with precision and pat...

Tess's Reviews
Taran
Tess is a caring, accommodating, and punctual caretaker. It is clear that she loves cats of all temperaments and knows what cat owners like to see, hear, and know when they are leaving their friend(s) for any amount of time. I would strongly recommend her services.
Natalie
tess was a rockstar, as always! she sends great updates and is super attentive
Nicole
Tess was lovely! My kitty is notorious for hiding under the bed the entire time the sitter is here, and I was grateful for the effort Tess made to lure her out. Quick to reply, lots of photos, reliable, and she went above and beyond by cleaning up outside of the litter box. Will definitely look for Tess next time I need a sitter!
Maria
Tess is a great cat sitter, she was super friendly, very communicative, and clearly cared about our cat very much. She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend!
Tilly
Tess is just the best! I have no reservations about leaving our cats in her care. The photo updates she sends are daily highlights on our vacations. The cats love her! maybe more than us! ha

Frequently Asked Questions
Ridgewood cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. 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.
