Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY
I am a fashion designer and artist, I have a 10-6 day design job during the weekdays, and I make arts and crafts during my weekends... Hi, I am YunRay and I love cats. I live in Astoria, Queens and I have 1 short hair black/white cat, I adopted her after she was rescued from the hurricane in Puerto Rico. She was definitely shy and scared at first but me and my partner were able to make her open up and get used to us and our beagle doggie. Now she is the sassy Latina in the house!
I am a fashion designer and artist, I have a 10-6 day design job during the weekdays, and I make arts and crafts during my weekends. I am available to take care of your cats and kitties before I get to work and after during the week, and definitely the weekends. I am open to take care of cats in the Queens area and Upper East Side area in Manhattan, of course, if you’re near my neighborhood, Astoria, it’ll be awesome.

I enjoy getting to know and care for all the different cats along my cat-sitting journey, and I even made a couple cat loving friends along the way too!

I have a short hair black/white cat named Boba, she was rescued from Puerto Rico after a hurricane, now she’s the sassy Latina in the house!
Are you usually available during holidays?
I’m usually available during holidays, as my family likes to stay put with our cat and dog during major holidays, so I’m almost always available to cat sit your baby kitties around holidays.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I am very patient and careful with all cats, I love playing with playful cats, but when meeting and cat-sitting for timid or anxious cats, I like to let them get used to me, as I try putting down treats, toys etc around them.

As a first time user, and it being my first time leaving my girl alone for a while, I was quite nervous, but was QUICKLY relieved once meeting Yun-Jui. Sooo supremely thorough and nurturing. I felt like he was taking care of me from afar as much as he was graciously taking care of my girl. I use a bunch of automated devices to help manage tasks and monitor her habits, and how he handled integrating and troubleshooting these devices showed his dedication to care and flexibility. THOROUGH updates, adorable pictures and videos, and quick response times, as well as an incredible team player and nurturing presence make him a MUST for you!

Yun-Jui is a wonderful cat sitter. He sent me detailed updates every day, which reassured me that my cat was happy and safe. My cat is quite shy, but by the end of the week he was waiting for Yun-Jui at the door. I will definitely book with Yun-Jui again!

Yun-Jui has watched our cat several times now and is always fantastic. He sends great pictures and updates and is very reliable. In the most recent visit, our flight home was delayed and Yun-Jui was able to visit our kitty a couple of extra times, which we really appreciated.

What a smooth and wonderful experience we had with Ray! So attentive, kind, and detail oriented. It was the first time we had left our cat in almost 3 years and she was freaked out. Ray was patient and updated us daily with messages and videos!!! You could not ask for a better sitter! We will only use his services moving forward. Cannot recommend enough!

Yun-Jui did a great job of providing detailed updates with lots of cute photos. My cat is not the most playful/cuddly and he was more than happy to just chill with her during visits.

Yun-Jui was the perfect catsitter! We were given plenty of updates and photos every time our cat, Milliardo, was visited, and he was always very happy to see Yun-Jui. We will definitely ask him to cat sit in the future.

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 $32.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!

Yun-Jui truly exceeded our expectations with reliably taking care of our spicy little kiwi girl while we were away on our honeymoon for 9 days. He never failed to send thorough daily updates with summaries of his visit along with photos and videos. He even tried bonding with Kiwi who is known to be spicy to all humans other than us and cleaned up several throw-ups (which usually happens when she eats too fast), going above and beyond with scrubbing the carpet. This was our first time with Meowtel and we were lucky to find our permanent cat sitter for all future vacations :) Thanks Ray!

Yun-Jui did such a great job with my cats! He played with them, took pictures, and gave them lots of cuddles in my absence. He even sent me videos of my cats playing to help with my separation anxiety haha. I was so thankful to find Yun-Jui as a cat sitter, and I will definitely be booking with him again.

This was our second time leaving our cat with Yun-Jui and once again had a great experience. Yun-Jui sends detailed updates and pictures, made an effort to play with and brush our cat and noticed how much he was eating.

Yun-Jui was a fantastic cat sitter for our cat Bagel this weekend. He was communicative, including texting to ask my preference when Bagel didn't eat his wet food. He sent lots of pictures and videos and detail regarding what Bagel ate and played with. He came on time and was also timely in sending me updates. I would be happy to have Yun-Jui watch Bagel again.

Yun-Jui is an amazing cat sitter! We had booked him on a last minute trip, and he was so responsive and detailed! He updated us with pictures and videos and was communicative in general. Our cat immediately warmed up to him. Thank you again Yun-Jui!

YunRay was great with my babies. They can take some time to warm up to new people and he stuck with them until he literally had them eating out of his hand. He sent lots of pics and gave great updates.

Amazing communications and recap of visits! Yun-Jui followed the instructions perfectly and adopted to some of my last minute changes. I came back home to super well kept apt and Emmy being very happy and healthy, also warmed up to him which is unlike her lol. Will certainly rebook Yun-Jui next time

Yun-Jui is an exceptional cat sitter who exceeded all of my expectations. Yun-Jui effortlessly bonded with my cat. Dedpite my cat’s initial shyness, Yun-Judi’s gentle approach quickly won them over. Throughout the entire sitting experience, Yun-jui maintained excellent communication, providing regular updates and ensuring that I felt reassured about my cat. we are strongly recommended Yun-jui as your cat sitter.

Yun-Jui was an excellent catsitter, and I was very happy he took care of my two cats. Aside from following instructions I had left him, he did a wonderful job giving my cats the attention they needed. My cats don’t get along, so they rarely are in the same space. Yun-Jui took care to make sure they both felt loved. He played with the energetic one and gave the other one pets and gentle care. I received detailed updates with pictures and videos every time he visited. Overall, I was very happy with Yun-Jui and will definitely reserve him again!
