I've since had five cats--Trooper, Baraka, Russell, Cody and Spencer. It's been quite the journey and I wouldn't change a thing. With more than 15 years of experience with cats, I can say that I connect well with them and understand their emotional and physical needs. I communicate well with my fur babies, give them plenty of time and care, and am very attentive to them. Whether it's providing meals and fresh water, engaging them in playtime, grooming them, or providing them with any medications when necessary, I'm reliable, compassionate, and provide them with unconditional support and love. I am more than willing to be that source of support for your own cats and would be honored to be your choice as a caretaker.

Learn More About Christopher

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do and I love them dearly! Their names are Cody and Spencer and they're the best! I have had Cody for almost 10 years and Spencer for more than a year.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I'm an open book. The cat parent is the expert, and my job is to learn about their cat, absorb all the information I can, and apply all I know to best serve and take care of their pet. I want an owner to know I'm there to support them and their pet, and communicate at all times (I'm a big believer in photo sharing and text updates on how a pet is doing).

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

Establishing a connection takes time. You have to give them their space, be gentle and calm in demeanor, and let them engage you on their terms. I do like to sprinkle in treats to ease any tension, admittedly.

We’ve only had our 2 year old kitty Bob for 3 months and were reluctant to leave him even for the 2 days of our vacation. We’re all in the adjustment period and he is quite a unique cat. We were so happy to find Christopher to care for him. He did everything we asked plus sent pics and updates each day. We came home to a calm relaxed cat. We hope to use him again.

Even though I had tech issues with the electronic lock on my door, Christopher was very patient in waiting for my response and worked with me to troubleshoot solutions. He went out of his way to provide excellent service even with delays before he could enter my place. Thank you Christopher!! 😎🐈‍⬛️🐈

Christopher did exactly what I asked for and then some. He spent quality time with both of my cats and played with them and brushed them. He sent lots of pictures and consistent updates. I definitely did not have to worry about my cats while I was away.

Christopher was very responsive, went the extra mile trying to befriend my cranky cat. He also left the house cleaner than we left it. Definitely will look to rebook if needed!

Booking with Christopher was a breeze, and the attention that he gave my two whisker children was top notch! He was super detailed in his questions about my kitty care preferences, and was able to execute everything to a T during his visits. Provided some super cute pictures as well, which was very soothing. Thank you Christopher!!

The reservation went far better than I expected, even though I expected it to go well. Christopher is ideal for cat sitting, as he has all the qualities a cat parent wants for our babies: giving the cats a sense of safety, the knowledge that they are cared for in the most fundamental way, including respect for their independence, and the understanding that the cats' home is THEIR home. Both of my cats instantly bonded with Christopher, so my main concern, that the cats would welcome Christopher as a member of the home, was addressed superbly. In addition to having exceptional skills as a cat sitter, Christopher has AWESOME people skills, so our meet and greet showed me that his skill set contains the whole package: knowing how to care for both cats and humans. I highly recommend Christopher with the utmost respect.

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.

Yonkers 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 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!
