I'm Emilie | Cat Sitting in Ridgewood, NY

Hello, my name is Emilie, and I am excited to meet you and your fur babies! I have had pets since I was born, and cats have always been my favorite! From skittish kitties to outgoing and playful ones, I have experience with them all. I have also distributed oral medication to cats, and am capable of caring for both kittens and elderly cats with special needs. About two years ago, I rescued a cat who followed me home one night, and she became a much loved member of the family. I am a very patient person, and will never yell at or be physical toward animals. I have a lot of energy, and can care for cats of all ages and energy levels. I make sure to keep constant communication with cat owners, and give my full attention to each and every cat during visits. I am trustworthy, and strive to put cat owners' minds at ease so they never have to worry abou...

Learn More About Emilie

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I began cat sitting in 2018, and just did it during the summers of 2018 and 2019. I quickly fell in love with cat sitting, and once quarantine was lifted during the pandemic, I made cat sitting a small business and have had weekly clients since 2021. I have met so many different cat personalities along the way, and learned how to adapt to cats of all ages to create a comforting environment and a strong relationship with each and every client.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When working with a new cat parent, I typically begin by asking them some routine questions, which include if their cat has allergies, is afraid of loud noises or other animals, and is on any medication. I then open the floor for cat parents to ask me any questions or express any concerns they have. I also arrange a meet and greet to meet both the cat parent and the cat. Here, cat parents can show me where the food, toys, medications, etc. are located and gauge if their cat feels comfortable with me. During every visit, I send photos and keep in touch with cat parents.

Emilie is a gem! I felt total peace of mind while traveling knowing she was checking on Emerus every day. She was patient and caring. My cat is VERY shy and Emilie was able to brush, pet, and feed him medication. Thank you, Emilie!!

We love Emilie! She is very communicative, loving and we can tell how well our girl is cared for because when we get home aside from saying hello and giving some quick cuddles she could care less. Thank you Emilie, you’re the best!

Emilie is an amazing cat-sitter. Her authentic love for our feline friends is obvious. She took great care of my two little boys, following the directions I left to a T. She was great with her communication and the photos she took were lovely, playful, really warmed my heart while I was away. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur babies!

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 $37.00. 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.
