I'm Patricia
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I have two cats named Frida and Paloma that I adopted from the Animal Care Center in NYC... As a former zookeeper, I started my animal care career volunteering at a wildlife sanctuary where I cared for big cats. The most fascinating thing I have experienced is that all cats, regardless of size, have so many similar mannerisms. In my time as a zookeeper, I have worked with tigers, lions, cougars, leopards, snow leopards, servals and bobcats. The main part of the job included feeding, watering and cleaning up after the cats. Some of the more interesting parts of the job were training, enrichment, and being a part of big cat surgeries.
I have two cats named Frida and Paloma that I adopted from the Animal Care Center in NYC. Frida is an energetic cat that we adopted as a kitten. She loves to fetch springs and jump into the air to try and catch string toys. Paloma was six years old when we adopted her. She loves to sleep most of the day and will fight for the best napping spots in our apartment.
During my time as a zookeeper, I have been involved in medical procedures, surgical procedures, and cared for animals post-operation. Additionally, I have a great deal of experience administering medications. I have given oral medication to bats, rhinos, tigers, lemurs, and aardvarks. I have applied topical ointments to bats, tigers, and bears. I have given eye drops to bats and lemurs. Although I have not given any cat injections, I have given injections to bats.

Paty was as always such a stellar sitter - thorough and patient and inventive with solutions even with my cat who decided he no longer enjoyed his pill pockets while I was away. I was so grateful for her care and for the detailed, thoughtful updates and photos she sent while I was away for two weeks - MC was so happy to be with her!

Paty was an incredible catsitter - was absolutely fantastic with my cat, shared detailed updates for each visit (alongside adorable photos!), and went the extra mile to coax him with his meds even when he was being finicky. MC was clearly so well loved and cared for in the two weeks I was away - thank you so much, Paty!

We just left Paty with our two boys for 2.5 weeks, by far the longest we’ve been away from them. Obviously we were a little stressed, and Paty did an amazing job making us feel comfortable that they were being well taken care of. Great communication and amazing pictures and videos from every visit. Very highly recommended!

Paty was amazing! Upon meeting Paty at the meet & greet I could immediately feel her love for animals. I knew right away my kitties were going to be in good hands.

Pati was so incredible! She truly went above and beyond and our kitties absolutely loved her. She delivered medication to our asthmatic cat 2x every day via inhaler and updated us each time so we knew he was doing well. She sent wonderful pics, videos, and updates and we could tell the cats had a blast playing with her. Her passion for animals truly shines through and my husband, sister, and I can’t reccomend her enough :))

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!

The absolute best of the best! I don’t know where to start! She took the best care of my 2 cats. Phil had last minute conjunctivitis and she wasn’t upset at all with the additional medication she now needed to provide. She sent me thorough updates 2 times a day with tons of pics and videos. I knew they were in good hands and the pics made my day while I was away and missing my fury kids. Will be using her again and I can’t recommend her enough!

Patricia was amazing with my two cats! I needed a sitter at the last minute and she was very accommodating. when my flight was canceled she even made time to come the next day. My cats can be shy but they warmed right up to her. She made me feel very comfortable while they were in her care. And she takes the best pictures!!!

Patricia is a wonderful cat sitter. I had a last minute change of appointment schedule and she’s so kind to respond and take on it. She pays attention to details, flexible, and gives amazing updates. I am so glad that I have Patricia to take care of my cat while I’m gone.

Pati is simply amazing!! She took such great care of our cats, ensuring they were well-fed, entertained, and most importantly, loved. It gave us such peace of mind while in India knowing the kitties were in such capable hands. Pati truly goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and wonderful cat sitter!

Patricia did a fantastic job with my two cats especially through a difficult situation. One of my cat’s had diarrhea and was shy, and both were very picky eaters. Patricia was not phased by any of this and took the best care of them both. I have never had such a great cat sitter before! Definitey book her for your next trip!

If you’re reading this review while searching for a cat sitter, just go ahead and book Paty now. She took care of my boys several times when I had to travel. She’s super available, very responsive, and always goes the extra mile. I hate having to leave my cats when I travel, but I’m comforted knowing that someone like Paty is going to give them some love while I’m gone.
