Learn More About May

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

Since I was a child I've been tasked to look after a neighbor or friend's pet, and have kept doing so ever since I moved to New York. Only in the past 2 years I started cat-sitting professionally for my visits and taken on new clients like friend of friend.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know the cat's character and how to best interact with them; make them comfortable while their persons are away. It bring me absolute joy to get a slow wink from them or see them flop their belly to show their ease - that's when I know I'm doing my job.

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

Give them space and make sure their basics needs are met (foods, water, clean litter box...etc). I do not force them to show up or come close, everything needs to be at their own pace and I try to show them that I respect that.

May is a wonderful caretaker for our two cats. She takes great photos and is very responsive to messages. She is makes sure to let us know when she is coming and sends prompt updates. She also checks out their food, water, and litter levels too! Highly recommend her.

May was fantastic! Extremely communicative and proactive. May texted ahead of time, sent pictures and videos, and went above and beyond following the care instructions. I would highly recommend to anyone in the Astoria area and will be using her again.

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!

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.

May is warm, kind, compassionate, and understands cats well. My cat was so well taken care of while I was away and she sent me so many pics and videos! my cat is usually very shy around new people but it’s a testament to May’s lovely and easygoing demeanor that he came out and played with her. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

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 $34.00. 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.
