Learn More About Amy

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

On and off for friends, family and clients for over 18 years. Not to mention fostering, many many times with PuppykittyNYC

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats are ✨special, which means every experience is special-er. Learning about a new cat is like discovering a planet to me. What is this litter you poop in? Ohhhh you luv ur chin scratched… BUT NOT THERE!!! Okay okay, you really love this food - should I try it too? Seeing a happy cat in a home is just 👌🏻

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Pun is a client of mine with the ‘beetus so he gets his lil shots twice a day. Except he dgaf about them bc he loooooooves food.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I lost both of my cats in 2025. Mittens was 18 & Bubby was 14. They each have a little shrine in the apartment but I do have two little rescue doggos! Pickles is 16 & Bó (Irish for cow) is 6!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

For your own sanity, please look for someone responsive. No loving pet sitter would leave you on read for longer than 30 mins (unless they’re like, asleep). The worst mistake I made was being too loosey-goosey about the amount of communication I needed when I left my pets for my honeymoon.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

You lead, I’ll follow. Talk me through all of your ✨feeeeelings✨ & routines - so you can just “Set it(me) & forget it!”

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Your keys and codes will leave me only to sleep. Otherwise I keep them close to the chest (backpack, actually). Always checking the door when entering and making direct eye contact with the cat(s) to make sure they’re plotting and happy before leaving.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Holidays-shmolidays. My mother is a recently retired hospice nurse who knew that family time was important at anytime, whether on a federal holiday or a random Tuesday in April. And each deserves their equal respect. She instilled in me that the best gift we can give to others during the holidays, is our time. You want to go visit family over St Patrick’s Day? I’ll buy you your first Guinness. Work sucks and you’re burnt out? I’ll handle the cats while you go get that massage.

What is your favorite cat toy?

A cardboard box with little holes cut in it to spy from and plan my demise… 📦😼 Or a laser pointer!

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

Little to no eye contact & no interaction. The cat needs time to adjust, that’s all. Reading body language is key, soft voices & intentional, slow movements. NO SPOOKY THE COOKY CAT!

Amy is a reliable, compassionate, and attentive caregiver who takes her responsibilities seriously while bringing warmth and ease to every situation. In addition to excellent pet care, she is respectful and diligent in caring for the home, keeping everything clean, organized, and well maintained. She is calm under pressure, communicates clearly, and consistently prioritizes trust and responsibility. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Amy is truly the best!! You could not ask for a better cat sitter. She will care for your cat as if it were her own beloved pet. Amy is a lifelong, passionate animal lover who treats every animal with the love, patience, and compassion it deserves. But she also has over 15 years of experience in professional, personal, and volunteer animal care. Does not get better than her!

Frequently Asked Questions

Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
