I'm Kate And Tim | Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY

Hi, we’re Kate and Tim! Kate is a local actor and business owner by day, recently relocated to New York from Dallas, TX. Tim is a dedicated server with a strong focus on customer service, and together we’re thrilled to bring our combined years of cat-sitting experience to the Big Apple! Kate has been cat sitting since she was 16, and growing up with dogs has given her a broad perspective on pet care. Tim, who shares Kate’s love for animals, is especially fond of our orange fluffball, Chuck, who fills our home with joy and fur. Tim also grew up in a house with cats. Our passion for feline care drives us to constantly learn and research the best practices, ensuring every cat we care for feels safe, loved, and pampered. Living in Astoria near the Newtown stop on the N/W line, I run my own remote business, while Tim's flexible work schedule allows us to offer even more availability for cat-sitting. With two sitters, your kitties will receive double the attention and care. When we come together, one of us will focus on playing and engaging with the cats, ensuring they’re entertained and happy, while the other handles the necessa...

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my favorite cat-sitting reservations was with a shy tabby named Luna. Initially, she was very timid and would hide under the bed. I spent extra time each day, sitting quietly and offering treats, letting her come to me at her own pace. By the end of the week, Luna was curling up in my lap and purring contentedly. Seeing her transformation and knowing I helped her feel comfortable and safe was incredibly rewarding.

Second time booking Kate and Tim. They took my request on a short notice which I really appreciated. They’re amazing cat sitters and give me peace of mind about the wellbeing of my cats. I’ll definitely keep booking them.

Kate and Tim are the fourth cat sitters I’ve booked on Meowtel and they were absolutely on top of everything I asked for and more! They were responsive, observant, and left two very happy cats in my home to great me.

Tim and Kate were really nice with my two female cats. They were attentive to the instructions I gave them and sent me detailed updates right after their visit. Will definitely use their services again if I ever need to.

Had a great experience with Kate and Tim! Sent great updates and photos and had nice visits with my cat. I was away on vacation and had a last minute flight cancellation, resulting in me needing them to make an extra last minute visit. They were so flexible with this and amazing to work with!

This is my second time booking Kate and Tim to sit for my two little stinkers! They are phenomenal cat sitters and it’s so clear how much they care about the pets they sit. They alerted me right away that my two boys were not eating as much as normal during a visit and we brainstormed a solution together. I also got the best photos ever - seriously considering framing some of them! I feel safe heading out on trips because I know how well taken care of my boys will be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
