Cat Sitting in Flushing, NY

Hi! I'm Theresa and huge cat-lover. I've fostered multiple cats and take care of my friend's cats from time to time.

I've fostered multiple cats and take care of my friend's cats from time to time.

From meal times, socializing, playtime, cuddling, to attention - I make sure that your cats get the care that they need/want. I always try to read cats' body language as well so I don't cross any boundaries or upset them. I'm okay with playing with cats or just sitting being by them to keep them company. I understand different cats have different temperaments and their own unique needs so I try my best to meet them!

I also like to provide photo updates so you can be assured that your cats are doing well and being well taken care of!

Learn More About Theresa

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been cat sitting for my friend's cats for 2 years now. Usually it's a daily drop in once or twice to feed and play with the cats to make sure they're doing okay and don't get lonely.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Honestly I just enjoy being around cats and watching them do silly things and look cute. I also love to cuddle (if they allow it) and play with them.

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

I would make sure I'm giving them space and be patient in general. I keep my distance and wait until they feel comfortable coming to me.

I hired Theresa last minute to care for my cats while I was away and it was honestly the best decision ever. Theresa was punctual, professional, and genuinely kind. She went above and beyond with her care and communication and my kittos really liked her! The photo updates were the best-I was able to relax and actually enjoy my vacation knowing they were happy and well cared for. I'll definitely be using Theresa again – highly recommend her! Thanks again!

I’ve used Theresa twice now for my sometimes challenging cat Coco and she’s been great and Coco has really liked her (and she’s a picky kitty). Theresa always spends the full scheduled time with her which makes me feel better about being away because she’s getting some attention. She always follows the directions, takes pics of Coco to send to me, and leaves my apartment in good condition. I’ll definitely continue to use her!

Theresa was fantastic, responsive, and accommodating to my particular scheduling needs. She and my cat got along immediately during the introductory meeting so I knew she’d be in good hands while I was away. Thanks Theresa!

  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.

Flushing cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
