I'm Rebecca
Cat Sitting in Ridgewood, NY
My calm energy and knowledge of cat body language allows scared or shy cats to open up and feel comfortable while their person is away. My friends and ... Hello! My lifelong love of cats began while growing up alongside my mom’s six cats, and has led me to several years of sitting experience. As a passionate and competent sitter I bring patience, reliability, and plenty of affection to every kitty I look after.
My calm energy and knowledge of cat body language allows scared or shy cats to open up and feel comfortable while their person is away. My friends and clients are often shocked that I am able to get cats who are notoriously shy or “mean” to feel comfortable and trust me. I also love to create engaging and enriching play for more active cats, and I have experience with multi-cat households and behavioral/medical challenges.
I can’t wait to meet your kitty! 🐈🐈⬛
I am based in Ridgewood and can currently take clients who live along the L and G train lines.
Learn More About Rebecca
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love meeting so many different kitties! No two are ever alike, and I love to experience all of the different personalities cats can have.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I love to do a house visit with the client and learn about them and their cat’s routine, and to also help the cat build trust with me while their owner is around. I listen intently to the owner’s directions and preferences with their cat.

Rebecca is always the best. But she was even more of a hero today as she traveled during the NYC blizzard to take care of Mickey for me. I am so grateful for her!!

Rebecca went above and beyond with our trio of cats! Our shyest cat, Clio, immediately went to her. She's never done that! We were thrilled because we knew we were in good hands. Rebecca was also great at handling issues that came up over the weekend. Best sitter ever!

Rebecca took such great care of my cat. She went above and beyond, cleaning his fountain and vacuuming for litter and kibble (he's a messy cat!) Thank you so much Rebecca!

We can’t recommend Rebecca enough for looking after our shy rescue Orwell! He is usually very wary around new people but clearly felt very comfortable around her and she gave great updates each day.

Rebecca is the best! Our cats absolutely love hanging out with her. They didn't even seem too upset about us leaving this weekend, once we returned, and they're usually super sad when we return so we were so thrilled. Our hardest to please cat adores her. We've had a lot of people watch our feline family over the years, but Rebecca is truly our favorite cat sitter ever.

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.
Ridgewood cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!

My cat absolutely loves getting to spend time with Rebecca, and they are truly a top notch cat sitter. Cats, especially ones that “don’t really like people” immediately flock to Rebecca and fall in love instantly. They give the best care, and I feel beyond comfortable with them in my home!
