About Caitlin M.

Hello! I am an experienced and compassionate cat sitter in Park Slope who can administer medication, including injections and subcutaneous fluids. I am also a Certified Feline Training and Behavior Specialist (CFTBS), and I care for every pet as if they are my own. It can be stressful for cats when their families are away, so I do everything I can to make my cat sitting visits an enjoyable time for my kitty clients. Not all cats are the same, so I make sure to get to know the temperaments of the kitties I care for, and I tailor my interactions with them to their exact needs. I particularly enjoy caring for special needs cats, and I’ve looked after kitties with epilepsy, cerebellar hypoplasia, kidney disease, blindness, and diabetes. I also really enjoy caring for shy cats, and I have been very good at quickly winning the trust of standoffish kitties. In order to help care for undersocialized cats and kittens, I completed the “Lion Tamer” training offered by the ASPCA. I absolutely adore cats, and I’ve spent the last several years volunteering at my local rescues, fostering kittens, and writing about special needs kitties! I have three cats of my own, including a special needs kitten with cerebellar hypoplasia, and I love sitting because it enables me to make new feline friends while helping their families.

What Clients Say About Caitlin M.

"Caitlin is the perfect cat sitter! Her deep knowledge in cat behavior was so helpful with our shy cat, who needs medications at every visit. She went above and beyond with our special needs kitty and gave us the most thorough updates, and even left treats and toys for our guy! Highly recommended!"

"Caitlin was so fantastic with our cat Izzy! She sent the best pictures and videos (like professional level - it made us think maybe Izzy should model). And she was super communicative with us, which made us feel comforted that Izzy was in safe hands. Caitlin is truly a cat guru! We've already booked again."

"Caitlin takes amazing care of our kitty Sasha — not just the basics, but also brushing, playing, and giving lots of pets. We always feel at ease knowing that Sasha is well cared-for and love seeing the photos and videos Caitlin sends with her daily updates."

"We absolutely adore Caitlin! We’ve been using her cat-sitting services for a while now, and every time she takes care of our two fur babies, we know they’re in the best hands. She goes above and beyond with spending quality time playing with them, giving thoughtful updates, and sending us the sweetest photos that always put our minds at ease. We always come home to happy, relaxed cats and that peace of mind is priceless. Caitlin is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her! She’s the cat’s meow."

"Caitlin is a wonderful cat-sitter. She took the time to bring new toys for the cats and even left us with some fun new treats for them at the end of her visit. She also helped us identify some health issues our cat was having which expedited a trip to the vet to resolve them. We really appreciate her genuine care!"

"I am FLOORED by Caitlin's service. Throughout the whole process, she was communicative, prompt, and easy to work with. Caitlin followed our requests/instructions to a T, and even went above and beyond by emptying our litter genie and also giving our two cats some extra special cat treats for a future snack. We knew our cats were in great hands because of the videos and photos she sent during her visit, putting us at ease knowing our cats were comfortable around her as well. Can't wait to leave town again so we can book Caitlin for another visit!"

"I put off writing a review because I honestly don't know how to even do Caitlin justice in a review! She is such a professional but even more she is so thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable and dedicated. She has such a special connection with animals and that really shines through her work. She was so wonderful with my two cats, one of which needed daily injections and special care.<3 I will definitely reach out to her whenever I need someone to care for my two little guys and thankful for all the new info she shared that has helped me so much with my cats daily care."

"Caitlin is INCREDIBLE! my cat is super shy and wary of change and she was able to engage with her, coax her out from under the bed, and get her purring. So impressed and grateful for her sincere care of my sweet cat."

"Caitlin was easy to communicate with throughout and sent me pictures/videos of my kitty when she was there. This gave me peace of mind about leaving her. Caitlin also has experience administering medication which was very reassuring as we just started a new prescription for her. Caitlin also left a little handmade surprise for my cat to play with - so thoughtful!"
