I'm Tara | Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY
Hi! I’d love to give your kitties the love and care they need while you’re away. MY BACKGROUND: I've grown up taking care of all kinds of pets, including two adorable cats. I've always been an animal lover, and a few years ago, I adopted a very sweet cat named Rupert. He's the light of my life, so I know how important is to know your fur baby is in the right hands! I'll give you a thorough update after every visit, including photos, videos, and notes on your cat's behavior, such as their eating and litter habits. I will ensure your cat receives exactly what they need in terms of nutrition, health care, play time, etc. I’m very patient and always respectful of cats’ boundaries. I'll make sure to know your cat's favorite toys and snacks as well as their vet...
Tara's Reviews
Chelsea
Tara was an incredible cat sitter! She did such an amazing job taking care of my cat. She sent photo and video updates that showed the care she provided. As well as adorable and hilarious ones. She also included a lot of details in her text updates that helped ease my mind as I was traveling. I highly recommend her services. Will definitely book her again!
Matthew
Tara was absolutely the BEST! I had initially tried hybrid sitting of my cat between Tara and family and friends but I ended up switching entirely to Tara because of how reliable and communicative she was, not to mention how much my cat seemed to love her! I will be sure to go back to Tara whenever I need a sitter and cannot recommend her enough! Thanks again Tara!!!
Hilary
Tara went above and beyond for our two cats while we were away. They both warmed up to her very quickly. She sent very thorough updates after each visit. One of our cats has a tendency to throw up sometimes, and when they did, Tara cleaned it up and updated us. We loved all of the videos she sent of our little ones greeting her at the door, eating, and playing. Tara was so thoughtful to ask about their favorite toys, and was great about making sure they got lots of pets, cuddles, and playtime. We feel very lucky to have found Tara

Tara did a great job taking care of Jiji, I will definitely request her again. She had so many positive reviews, and this is one more. She sent lots of photos and I could see how well taken care of and happy my cat was with Tara. She also cleaned the litter, very considerate. Would recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
