I'm Laney
Cat Sitting in Bronx, NY
Through owning cats, I’m very knowledgeable on their behaviors and habits in which I am able to handle any issue that may arise... Hey friends! My name is Laney Ledford and I am a college student attending The Institute for American Musical Theatre! I have 11 cats in my family home yet 1 is actually mine! Her name is Chonk and I raised her during quarantine and she is my everything. She brings me more joy than anything in the world and I hold her very dear to my heart. I love all things cats and never fail to pet a cat when I see one, no matter where they are!
Through owning cats, I’m very knowledgeable on their behaviors and habits in which I am able to handle any issue that may arise. I understand that cats have personal boundaries and I find it crucial to respect those, as cats are very timid and independent. You can expect quality care of your cat and home through booking me!! Along with taking great care of your fur babies, I will take the trash out, sweep/vacuum litter, etc! I like to ensure your cat has an adequate, clean environment that meets their needs. I also love to play with them!
Along with cats, my other passions and hobbies include reading, musical theatre, being outside, and all things Broadway! I can’t wait to meet your sweet fur babies and treat them with the utmost love and care! 💜💜
Learn More About Laney
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Getting to meet all sorts of cats with different personalities! I really enjoy getting to see how cats have various antics and ways of living. It’s also enjoyable to learn their favorite spots. Just getting to be in their presence is a gift within itself.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 11! Their names are Chonk, Ru Ru, Ceamy, Teddy, Junior, Greedy, Booger, Lucky, Mama Cat, Cookie, and Onyx! Very unique odd names!
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, almost always! While holidays are enjoyable, I typically get pretty bored and don’t like to stay at home all the time, hence why I like getting out of the house to cat sit!

Laney was great to work with—she was super receptive to the care routine of Devon and Jyoti. She sent cute updates putting my mind at ease when I was away. Surely will be working. with her again when we are away!

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.
Bronx 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 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!
