Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY

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 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 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. (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!!!

Tracy was the best cat sitter ever especially for my first time using Meowtel. She took easily to giving my cat his asthma medication, sent great updates, and was just awesome to work with. My cat was in great hands!

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!
