I'm Tatiyana
Cat Sitting in Bronx, NY
Through my volunteer work with local rescue groups, Iāve helped with TNR operations, socialized feral kittens, administered medications, performed nail trims, and supported cats transitioning from outdoor to indoor life. Iāve also nursed dumped senior and injured cats back to health, which has given me a deep understanding of feline behavior, patience, and attentive care... Hi! Iām Tatiyana ā a TNR-certified cat rescuer with years of hands-on experience caring for kittens, adult cats, seniors, and medically vulnerable cats.
Through my volunteer work with local rescue groups, Iāve helped with TNR operations, socialized feral kittens, administered medications, performed nail trims, and supported cats transitioning from outdoor to indoor life. Iāve also nursed dumped senior and injured cats back to health, which has given me a deep understanding of feline behavior, patience, and attentive care.
While Iām comfortable with shy or special-needs cats, I also love working with playful, social, and easygoing cats ā every personality is welcome. I tailor each visit to your catās individual comfort level, whether that means interactive playtime or calm companionship.
During visits, I prioritize:
ā¢ Spotless litter boxes
ā¢ Fresh food and water
ā¢ Routine consistency
ā¢ Medication if needed
ā¢ Detailed photo and video updates
Iām also dog-friendly (I have a husky of my own ā¤ļø), so Iām very comfortable in multi-pet households.
I proudly serve the Bronx, Westchester, and parts of Connecticut. Your petās safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority.
Learn More About Tatiyana
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I start with a meet-and-greet (in person whenever possible) to learn your catās routine, personality, preferences, and any medical needs. I ask detailed questions about feeding schedules, hiding spots, triggers, and normal behaviors so I can recognize if anything changes. During visits, I follow your routine closely to minimize stress. After each visit, I send photo and video updates along with a summary of how your cat ate, behaved, and interacted. Clear communication and consistency are very important to me.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Safety is my top priority. As a TNR-certified rescuer, Iām trained to be extremely aware of doors, windows, and environmental risks. I double-check entry points, move cautiously when entering or exiting, and never rush interactions with cats. I also monitor litter box habits, appetite, and behavior for early signs of stress or illness. I treat every home with respect and keep everything exactly as I found it. You can trust that your cat and your space are in careful, attentive hands.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I always let the cat set the pace. With my rescue and TNR background, Iām very comfortable working with shy, under-socialized, or easily stressed cats. I use slow movements, soft tones, and calm body language to create a safe environment. I never chase, corner, or force engagement. Instead, I allow the cat to decide if and when theyād like to approach me. Patience is key ā sometimes the best care is simply sitting quietly and letting them feel secure in their space. If theyāre open to interaction, I gently introduce enrichment or play. If they prefer distance, I respect that fully while maintaining their routine and monitoring their well-being. My goal is always to reduce stress and build trust ā not rush the process.

Bronx cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!
