I'm Oscar
Cat Sitting in Stony Brook, NY
When I interact with a cat I don’t just feed them and make sure that all their needs are taken care of, I also believe in building trust. I do this by respecting the cat’s boundaries, and keeping them away from any stress. I pay close attention to their habits and adapt accordingly. Whether it’s extra playtime, a cozy lap, or just being a quiet company from across the room, I meet each cat where they are.
I as a cat lover myself know that cat’s are another family member that it’s irreplaceable to each family, therefore I give the best care possible for all cats.
If you are looking for someone who’s experienced, observant, and genuinely passionate about feline care, I’d love to be that trusted person for you and your family

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My oldest cat is named kitty, I know original cat name. She is a rescued cat that has been through a rough childhood. Therefore she tends to be more shy and reserved and just likes to feel safe and comfortable at a distance. My second cat is named boots because of his black fur and white paws that resemble a boot. He is an energetic cat that will feel like being in a race all day everyday. And lastly my kitten is named Donatella, she is a curious kitten that will try everything to appease her curiosity.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My typical process for working with a new cat parent is simple. I ask about their cat, how they like to be treated and if they need any special medication or support. Then I ask the cat parent if they have anything specific that they would like me to do or don’t do. And finally I would observe the cats behavior to ensure that I am not overstepping my boundaries and act accordingly.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toy undoubtedly is a laser pointer, it’s one of the best toys if used appropriately. The cat will feel safe since there is no contact that might alarm them. While at the same time they will spend their energy chasing the laser around their home. The laser pointer can also be used to build trust with a cat by helping them realize that you are not a threat to their environment while they are busy hunting.

Stony Brook 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
