I'm Alex | Cat Sitting in Ridgewood, NY
Hello there! Cats have always been a part of my life, having grown up with one at home, both my grandmothers owning multiple and having two of my own since then. My current baby is a very clingy snowshoe named Gizmo. I personally believe one’s pet is just as much family as anyone else and if someone is away they should know that their loved one is in good care. Why would you do anything less than provide the best you can for another living being? Let alone one that means so much to many. I keep in touch frequently with tons of pictures and videos, double check to make sure I’ve got everything on their care down and notify if I think something might be wrong. Making sure your precious kitty has the care and attention they need is what I do best! I've had experience in giving insulin injections to one of my cats [and now with one kitty client!], it was pretty easy with him. I gave him food and was able to inject between the shoulders by the scruff while he ate. Thankfully he went into remission shortly after.

Alex's Reviews
Max
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.
Kim
Alex is wonderful with our three cats. She gives thorough updates and the cats seem to love her!
Erica
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!

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 $32.00. 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.
