I'm Tracy
Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY
I have been a cat sitter for a 3+ years now for both solo and multiple cats! Owners often comment on my great cat photography skills and how comfy their cats are around me. I have medication administration experience: liquid, pills, flea treatment, and deworming meds. In addition to cat sitting, I currently foster cats for a local rescue organization... Meowdy! 🤠👋My name is Tracy, and I am a resident of eastern Astoria. I currently service Astoria and sometimes Long Island City and Sunnyside. Please send me a message first if you are not in the immediate Astoria area since I will be using public transit to come to you.

I have medication administration experience: liquid, pills, flea treatment, and deworming meds. In addition to cat sitting, I currently foster cats for a local rescue organization. (It has been a total of 15 and counting!) I am proud to say that each cat I have looked after has been as healthy and happy as ever. It will be as if you never even left them! 🥰
Other than caring for your cat(s), I am a very attentive houseplant mom so I can also water your plants while you are away! 🪴💧
Outside of cat sitting and fostering cats, I love reading, doing Pilates, taking care of my plants, and going on long walks. I am a young professional who works remotely. Holidays will depend on my calendar of availabilities and I do have an up charge for holidays. Please message me for availabilities for meet and greets and preferred check-in times for your kitties.
COVID/general health note: I am fully vaccinated and up to date on my boosters. I always wear masks upon entering apartment buildings for meet-and-greets as courtesy.
Feel free to message me prior to booking if you have any questions! Thank you, and I hope I will get to cat sit for you soon! 😻
Learn More About Tracy
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love meeting all sorts of cat personalities and learning how to work with different cats. I foster rescued cats too, so I have been exposed to so many kitties who come from sad situations. I have learned so much about cat sitting through fostering and fostering through cat sitting!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I would look for someone who is consistent, attentive, and knowledgeable. I like to take notes and repeat instructions back to my clients. Before leaving a meet and greet, I also like to test the keys to make sure they work. Of course, playtime is important too, so I would love for a sitter to be engaged and having fun with my cat(s) during play! 😊

Tracy was so sweet and thoughtful with our two cats. One is a bit of a handful behavior-wise, and Tracy instinctively knew to give her space and let her be. She kept them entertained and played with them when they were receptive, and sent great photos and videos for us to see. She really knows how to be with our cats and how to meet them where they are. She’s also a great communicator and stayed in touch with us regularly. I can’t recommend her enough, and I will definitely request her again for future trips!

This was my 3rd or 4th time using Tracy, and I was once again, very pleased! She had the unfortunate experience of dealing with 2 issues (neither of which were her fault!): my cat knocking over a plant (Tracy cleaned up both times) and encountering a jammed lock box where I keep my keys. She very kindly communicated directly with my super to arrange a time to return to be let in, and he was able to unjam the box for her. Will be hiring her again in the future!

Tracy is an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! I really felt like my senior cat Marshmallow was extremely well-cared for every step of the way. Tracy would send detailed updates and pictures every day. Since he has some health issues, it put me at ease and I knew he was in great hands. She even noticed that ants were coming for his cat food and she brought ant traps -- talk about above and beyond!

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for my two babies. Tracy did an amazing job. I was away for 9 days which was the longest I’d ever been away from my kitties. Tracy provided me with ample updates about when she was heading over and sent pictures/videos/updates after each visit. She played with my cats each visit which I really appreciated. Thank you again Tracy for taking such good care of Molly and Finn!

Tracy did an amazing job taking care of my two boys. They broke the mirror the right before I left for the trip. She did the great job cleaning up and none of my boys got hurt. She also takes amazing videos of them playing. Definitely recommend!!!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

This was my second time booking with Tracy and she was just as pawsome as the first time. She brought over a cat toy for my kitties to play with and they loved it. In addition to being a great cat sitter, Tracy also brings in my packages without me asking which I really appreciate.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tracy is an Amazing Cat Sitter! I cannot recommend Tracy enough! She took care of my cat for 13 days while I was away on vacation, and she went above and beyond in every way. Tracy not only made sure my cat was well-fed and had her medicine administered on time, but she also took the time to play with her and give her the attention she needed. Tracy provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing that my cat was in great hands. It was clear from the moment I returned that my cat had been well taken care of and was happy and content. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter, Tracy is the one to call!

Tracy tried to keep my shy kitty engaged and happy by placing treats around the apartment which I thought was a great idea! I’m going to start doing that myself. Tracy gave me good updates and made me feel my cat was okay while I was gone.

Tracy was very awesome with my shy kitty! This was my first time ever booking a cat sitter so I was a little anxious leaving my cat behind, but everything went smoothly! Tracy provided me with speedy updates and photos/videos of my cat enjoying her time with Tracy. Would definitely book again for future trips!
Julie

Tracy was fantastic! She came over ahead of when I'd be out of town so that she could meet my cat and I could go over getting into my apartment, my cat's needs, etc. While I was away she sent me updates about when she was heading over and pictures while she was there. She also brought in mail and packages that I had received. I will definitely book her again, and in fact, I am going to do so right now because my trip was extended! 😺

Tracy was wonderful with my senior cat, Wesley. She gave me great updates, was on time and very thorough. It's clear she really loves taking care of cats, and I'll certainly book with her again!

Tracy's exceptional care for my furry babies, especially the one with asthma, during my 5-day ski trip was remarkable. Her thoughtful updates, accompanied by delightful videos and photos of them playing, highlighted her dedication to both care and communication. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracy's services for anyone in need of a cat sitter—her commitment and attention to detail truly set her apart. Need to mention that this is my first time using this app and I am beyond grateful!

When my trip was extended due to a canceled flight Tracy was quick to offer returning to help out, so I jumped on rebooking her for a few more visits. Like the first time, she was very responsive, and caring with my cat. I felt better being away for so long knowing she'd be visiting every few days. Highly recommend!

Tracy was really good in keeping me updated on the kitties. I was out for a snowboarding trip over the weekend and she made sure boni and boa were comfortable around the apartment and kept their space nice and neat. This is my first time hiring a pet sitter and I’m glad I was able to pick a great one 🫶🏼

Tracy has always been a fantastic cat sitter. And this time was no exception. She not only took great care of my cats, but also kept my one-bedroom super clean while I was gone for almost 2 weeks.

Tracy was a great cat sitter. she went above and beyond taking care of my fur babies while I was gone for 5 days. she was very responsive and up to date with everything. Other than that she also helped me with some of other stuff I specifically asked. On a side note she’s also very good at taking photos. I will definitely have her taking care of my cats next time when I’m gone again.
