I'm May | Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY
Hello cat parents! My name is May and I live in Astoria, Queens. Having always been a cat lover, during the pandemic I finally got to adopt my own cat - a chubby tabby cat named Emmy. Her big green eyes and big personality taught me so much and totally rearranged my life priorities. Through her I learned how to be crafty and creative (making houses with post office boxes, building tunnels with bubble wrap...etc), how to build and respect each other\'s boundaries, and more importantly the healing power of a head bump and morning kneadi...

May's Reviews
Elizabeth
May did a great job and provided detailed, timely updates on how my cat was doing.
Suzi
My cat sometimes shows aggressive behaviors with strangers cleaning her litter box and I was rejected by countless cat sitters before I found May. May was absolutely amazing with my cat - she really listened to every detail, even those I mentioned in passing during our meet and greet, and was attentive to the long list of notes I left for her. She paid close attention to my cat’s body language and cues so that both she and my cat would be safe / not stressed during May’s visits. She was super prompt and provided thorough updates. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and will most definitely seek May out for her services in the future!

this was our first time using Meowtel and we could not have had a better experience thanks to May! From the start, May was super communicative and made us feel very comfortable leaving for our trip knowing our cat sons were in excellent hands! Each visit May would send us the most wonderful photos and videos of our cats and it brought smiles to our faces each day. May even won over our shy cat too! I cannot recommend May enough!

Josclyn
May took the absolute best care of our cat. It was so clear to us through May’s super-detailed and updates, videos, and pictures that our cat was so comfortable and happy with May. May followed all care instructions perfectly and communication was amazing. We can’t wait to have May sit for us again.

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.
