Cat Sitting in Beacon, NY

I travel a lot myself and I've had cats of my own for 20+ years. I started sitting for Meowtel because I know firsthand how much people miss their kitties and how happy-making it is to get pix and updates! It really does make ME feel good to give THEM peace of mind. As a cat sitter, I want... I travel a lot myself and I've had cats of my own for 20+ years. I started sitting for Meowtel because I know firsthand how much people miss their kitties and how happy-making it is to get pix and updates! It really does make ME feel good to give THEM peace of mind. As a cat sitter, I want you to be completely confident that your babies are being looked after and loved on, even if they decide to stay in the closet. : )
And as a career writer and musician, I am basically a professional houseguest. I am also fully vaccinated and expect the residents of your home are as well.

Learn More About Amy

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

1) Knowing a client's concerns are addressed and they can enjoy their time away from home. As a long time cat parent, I know how important it is to feel sure your meow is being taken care of when you are not there. 2) PLAYING WITH ALL CATS!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Hekla (grumpy beautiful tortie) is 12 and Bettles (punky adorable tuxedo) is 8. They are an absolute joy and extremely goofy.

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

Cats don't understand cause and effect - they get into things they shouldn't, knock things over and chew on stuff that isn't good for them! I always ask about windows, screens, water access, AC settings, whether they like to eat plastic or tape (they DO - I put mail packages behind closed doors!), put toys away, WASH food bowls, change water daily, double check that doors are locked, etc. And if I notice anything unusual about a cat's behavior during the visit, I always mention it.

Are you usually available during holidays?

It's when I am MOST available. But I limit the number of clients I take on during holidays to ensure that I can give each pet quality time.

What is your favorite cat toy?

FUZZYWORM on a stick. NO cat can resist it! ^..^ I also like the red laser bug, but not all cats like it.

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

I meet them where they are. You cannot "make" a cat do anything, especially skittish ones. Sometimes kitties just like to know you are in the room with them. So although I leave a trail of treats to encourage them to come out and say hello, it's fine if they don't want to. I sit where they can see me, speak soothingly and make sure they have everything they need.

Amy did an incredible job with my 18-year-old kitty, Leo, when I needed to travel unexpectedly. He needs oral medication twice a day, and despite being very reclusive and grumpy (and hiding in places I never could have imagined!), Amy was able to give him his meds every time. I'm incredibly grateful for her patience, and for the consistent text updates, photos, and videos. It was hard to leave him, but Amy's visits set my mind at ease. 💗

Amy was amazing with our 2 cats. She brought toys to keep them entertained, made sure to give one of our cats his medications (which is no small feat), and went above and beyond to make sure that they were safe, healthy, and well taken care of. We would use her again in a heartbeat!!

This was our second time hiring Amy, and once again she exceeded our expectations. She is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and clearly cares deeply about the cats she looks after. One of our cats is extremely shy and does not come out for anyone, but Amy took the time to earn his trust and to our surprise, he actually came out for her! Amy also kept us at ease with her care and attention, and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. We highly recommend Amy for all your cat sitting needs!

It was our first time leaving our cats alone for an extended time (12 days) and Amy absolutely exceeded our expectations. Her daily updates set our minds at ease that our kitties were in good hands, and her interactions with them were kind, attentive, and fun. If you’re looking for a cat sitter who wholeheartedly will love on your furry family members as much as you, don’t hesitate to book Amy.

Amy was incredible! My 3 kitties loved her. Amy is an excellent cat sitter. She cared for my cats while I was gone 5 days. I loved all the photos and videos she sent me. She updated me every drop-in, and she made sure that my cats were given lots of affection, love, and playtime. I highly recommend her!

Amy was responsible, compassionate and professional! She coaxed our very shy rescue cat out from hiding places and connected with her on the first try. I recommend her highly!

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.

Beacon 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!
