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

I’ve been a cat sitter and owner my entire life. I’ve had easy cat clients and high maintence cat clients. You name it, i’ve done it!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I’m obsessed with cats. I just like being around them. I like getting to know each cat and working to form our own bond.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I used to watch a cat named Oreo; he was the most adventurous boy. We became friends and he and his family became part of my life 10 years. I would make them a Christmas card every year of Oreo and all the things we did while hanging.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 babies, they are the loves of my life. They have taught me patience, continuity, endurance, unconditional love and loyalty.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Hire someone that has fair rates, and feels good to you. Getting a vibe off that first meet and greet is important!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I ensure there are no danger areas, I make sure all doors and windows are sealed, there is no food, plants, plastic, wires, toxins, etc in reach of the kitty

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

Time is your friend. Sitting, waiting, teaching the cats brain that you are safe. You need to associate your smell with positive energy, safety, and treats!

I’ve known Victoria for over 20 years, and in all that time she has been the best cat watcher I could ever ask for. She has taken care of my three cats throughout the years, as well as many of the neighborhood cats, and she treats every single one of them with genuine love and patience. Victoria is incredibly knowledgeable about cats of all ages and personalities. Whether it’s a shy kitten, a senior cat with special needs, or even a moody or scared cat, she knows exactly how to approach them and make them feel safe. She also spends extra time to play with them and make sure they are entertained. She’s also extremely reliable when it comes to giving medicine or handling any extra care instructions—everything is always done correctly and on time. What I appreciate most is how attentive and calm she is. Cats just seem to trust her, and it’s easy to see why. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands cats and treats them like family, Victoria is absolutely the person you want. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I can't recommend Victoria highly enough as a cat sitter! We lived close to each other in NYC, and she became my absolute go to whenever I needed to travel or had long work days. As someone who genuinely hates leaving home because I worry about my cat Alida, finding Victoria was such a relief! What really sets her apart is how consistent and communicative she is. She sends tons of pictures and updates throughout the day, which honestly makes all the difference when you're away from home. It completely put my mind at ease knowing exactly how Alida was doing. My cat is pretty shy with new people, but Victoria was so patient in building that trust. She never rushed the relationship and let Alida warm up to her naturally. She'd come during the day to check in, play, refresh food and water, and spend time keeping Alida stimulated and happy! Victoria is reliable, responsible, and genuinely loves animals. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and attentive, she's your person!

Frequently Asked Questions

Staten Island cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
