Cat Sitting in White Plains, NY
In addition to personal experience, I foster for a local animal shelter, which has given me the opportunity to care for a wide range ... Hi! I'm Jim, a lifelong cat lover with over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I grew up with cats and currently live with my own pair of feline companions, one of which is on a special diet—so I’m well-versed in tailoring care to meet specific health and dietary requirements.
In addition to personal experience, I foster for a local animal shelter, which has given me the opportunity to care for a wide range of cats, including those recovering from illness or trauma. I have multiple years of experience administering both oral medications and subcutaneous fluids, and I always ensure cats are comfortable and stress-free throughout.
When you're away, I’ll provide your cat with attentive, compassionate care and keep you updated with regular messages and photos. Your cat’s well-being and routine will always be my top priority.
Looking forward to meeting your feline family!
Learn More About Jim
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I just started cat sitting but very eager to get into the business! I have had a pair of cats for the past five years and have been fostering for the past year. In that time, I've had experiences with multiple special needs animals and have worked to take care of all of them
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy being around cats, playing with them, and taking care of them. Its incredibly rewarding to earn their trust and affection through providing for them.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I just started cat sitting. However my favorite foster experience has been with a special needs cat that came to me after having both oral and entropion surgery. She was the sweetest girl and her personality really shines through as I nursed her back to health.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 3 cats of my own and am also a foster for one of our local shelters! I have a boy named Bandit and 2 girls, Lily and Chanel.

Jim was great! He watched our cats, Neko and Emmy, while we were away for a weekend. I had such a peace of mind knowing they were being cared for while we were away. Jim took great photos and wrote thoughtful messages to keep us updated. You can tell your cats are being watched after by a fellow cat parent. I recommend Jim for all your cat-sitting needs!

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.
White Plains cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!

As the Cat Director of Posh Pets Rescue, we rely on foster homes to help get our adoptable cats ready for their forever homes. Jim has been a dedicated foster parent and is extremely responsible, reliable, responsive, and diligent. I highly recommend him in his capacity to care for cats.
