Learn More About Alex

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one cat named Gizmo, he’s a needy snowshoe baby that loves to talk and pester me as he pleases. Especially when i’m working on projects or trying to eat, laptime is a necessity whenever, wherever.

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

It’s always best to give a cat their space, do your own thing in the meantime and let them come to you. Forcing interaction with a cat will only make them more anxious and less likely to interact and tolerate your presence. Respect their space and be patient, maybe try some treat persuasion, then leave them be till they’re comfortable.

Alex was great with my cats! She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were comfortable and taken care of. She provided Puma's insulin and other medication. She was very patient with shy Bella being too scared to eat. I am already booking her for another time :)

I have a pretty shy cat that usually takes a long time to warm up to people but he took really well to Alex and was quickly accepting lots of love and pets. She was extra attentive and sent update photos and videos everyday. I will definitely ask Alex to come back next time we go away.

I was nervous about leaving my cats in the care of a sitter for the first time, but Alex was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly thoughtful, provided the best updates, and made my trip completely stress-free. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the cats she watches, and I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust to take care of my kitties. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again—she’s the best!

Alex went above and beyond taking care of my kitties during a much needed winter vacation. She was proactive and provided updates and let me know when she was on her way, there, and after she left. Even my very shy cat was happy to see her! She very clearly knows how to make cats feel comfortable, I couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. She even brought in a package that got delivered. I’m so happy to have finally found a local reliable sitter!!

Alex was great! Gave great updates and offered to stop by more since my cat wasn’t feeling great being alone. Alex gave amazing updates and made sure my kitty got lots of pets and love while I was gone.

Alex is amazing! Her love for cats is so immediately evident when you meet her and she has such a calming presence. I feel so confident leaving my senior, deaf kitty, Tessa, in her hands. I basically think of Alex as one of Tessa's friends now. She handles everything like a pro and sends great photos and videos.

Alex was amazing! Really went above and beyond to care for our cat while we were away for about two weeks. It was a big relief to know that he was in such good hands for such a long period. Highly recommended.

Alex, thank you so much! this is the first time I've requested a catsitter who wasn't a friend, and Alex was wonderful with my cat, from sending updates to administering her insulin. thank you again for such a great first experience on Meowtel!

This was our second time booking Alex, and we are so grateful to have a cat sitter that's so communicative, experienced, and passionate about cats. This visit was way harder than the first time since our main cat had an eye infection and needed regular meds, and we are also rehabilitating an injured feral cat as well. Alex handed everything with grace, and when our feral ran a bit amok, we were quickly informed and worked together to make new plans. We will absolutely continue booking Alex in the future.

This was our first time using a service like Meowtel, and Alex instantly put us at ease during the meet and greet. She's super detail-oriented, a great communicator and also just really nice. She made sure our little guy was doing great, and consistently went above and beyond to keep his daily schedule as normal as possible while we were away. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation without any worries - and the regular updates that Alex sent were a delight to receive. We will absolutely use Alex and Meowtel again for future trips, and can't recommend her enough :)

My boyfriend and I hired Alex to drop in on our 4 cats over Christmas weekend. We got several photos for each visit, and two of the notortiously shy, scared cats came out to play with her, which is extremely impressive. She did the food and litter and gave lots of play time. We came home to happy cats. We will definitely hire Alex again!

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 $30.00. 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.
