I'm Haidy C

Cat Sitting in Jackson Heights, NY

Cats have their own personalities, routines, and boundaries. The key is understanding them and moving at their pace.

I’m Haidy, a full-time cat sitter who has spent the past 4+ years caring for cats across Queens. Many of my clients return again and again because they trust the calm, reliable care I provide for their kitties.

I’m known for my patience, attention to detail, and for naturally understanding each cat’s personality. Some cats are playful and curious, while others prefer quiet company or a slow introduction. I take the time to read their signals and adjust my visits so they feel comfortable and respected.

My approach is simple: clear communication, reliable visits, and careful attention to your cat’s routine. I work with cats of all personalities, especially shy kitties, rescue cats, and seniors who benefit from a gentle and patient approach.

I’m also comfortable administering medications including liquid medicine, pills, and inhalers,...

Learn More About Haidy C

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

I’ve been professionally cat sitting for over 4 years, caring for cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to shy rescues and senior companions. This isn’t just a side job for me; it’s something I do with genuine dedication and love. Every visit is a chance to build trust—with both the cat and their human. I take the time to learn each cat’s routine, preferences, and boundaries, so they feel safe, respected, and seen. Whether it’s administering medication (liquid, pills, or inhalers), comforting a nervous rescue, or simply sitting quietly nearby, I show up with patience, empathy, and consistency. My clients know that when they’re away, their babies are not only safe, but truly cared for.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I love most is earning a cat’s trust and watching their true personality shine through over time. Each cat is so unique—some warm up right away, others take days—but when they start to feel safe and come out of their shell, it’s incredibly rewarding. I enjoy being a calm, consistent presence in their space—someone they can rely on while their humans are away. Whether it’s playtime, quiet companionship, or simply respecting their boundaries, I love meeting them where they are and making them feel seen, safe, and loved.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

It’s honestly hard to choose just one! Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for so many amazing cats—each with their own quirks, routines, and personalities. There have been shy rescues who slowly opened up, senior kitties who needed gentle care, and playful little ones who made me laugh out loud during visits. I think what stands out most isn’t a single reservation, but the pattern that’s emerged: I’ve been called a cat whisperer more times than I can count—and that never gets old. It means the world to me when a cat who usually hides ends up curled next to me, or when their human says, “I’ve never seen them take to someone so quickly.” Those moments are my favorite. That’s what makes this work so special. I enjoy being a calm, consistent presence in their space—someone they can rely on while their humans are away. Whether it’s playtime, quiet

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I’m lucky to share my home with four beautiful cats who completely run the show (as they should 😄). • Emilia is my wise and elegant 9-year-old—she’s the queen of the house. • Martina is 7 and full of personality; she’s independent but super affectionate when she wants to be. • Olivia and Grey-C are both 2 and total opposites—one’s a cuddle bug, the other’s a quiet observer. They bring me so much joy every single day and constantly remind me why I love doing what I do. 💛🐾

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

My best advice? Choose someone who truly gets cats—not just someone who likes them. Look for a sitter who can recognize the subtle ways cats communicate, follow instructions with precision, and especially if your cat needs medication, someone who’s comfortable, calm, and experienced handling it. Take time to read reviews—not just the stars, but the stories. Look for consistency, warmth, and professionalism. And above all, trust someone who will treat your cat and your home with the same respect, care, and attention you would. When you’re away, your sitter should bring peace of mind—not more stress.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I know life gets busy, so I always try to keep things easy and flexible for new cat parents. We’ll start by chatting about your cat’s routine, personality, health needs, and anything else that helps me care for them just like you would. Then, if your schedule allows, I’ll stop by for a quick meet-and-greet to make sure your baby feels safe and comfortable with me. Whether you prefer a quick call, text, or just want to go straight into care with detailed instructions—I’ll adapt to your pace and what works best for you. My goal is always the same: make the process smooth, reassuring, and tailored to your cat’s needs—and your lifestyle.

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

Your cat’s safety and your home’s security are always top priorities during every visit. I double-check that all doors and windows are properly secured before leaving, and I’m mindful of any specific access instructions you provide—whether it’s a key, code, or lockbox. I always do a quick scan before leaving to make sure everything is just as you left it (or tidier 😄). You’ll receive frequent updates with clear photos and honest notes, so you never have to wonder how things are going. My clients often tell me they can fully relax while away because they know their babies—and their space—are in trustworthy hands.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I’m absolutely available during holidays! I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your babies while you’re away during busy times. Holidays can be stressful enough—so I do my best to offer reliable, consistent care that gives you peace of mind, even when things get hectic. Many of my clients count on me year after year during Independence , Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and other peak seasons—because they know I’ll show up, stay on top of routines, and keep them connected with thoughtful updates.

What is your favorite cat toy?

It honestly depends on the cat—each one has their own favorite style of play! But if I had to pick a go-to, feather wands are always a hit. They’re perfect for encouraging natural hunting behavior, getting shy kitties to engage from a distance, and creating a fun bonding moment. Some cats prefer slow, sneaky movements… others want to chase at full speed. I love figuring out what makes each kitty light up—and adjusting the play style to match their energy and mood.

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

I approach timid or anxious cats with patience, empathy, and deep respect for their boundaries. Every cat has their own pace, and I never force interaction—especially when they’re feeling unsure. Instead, I create a calm and predictable environment. I move slowly, speak softly, and give them the space to observe me from a distance until they feel safe enough to engage. Sometimes that happens on the first day—other times, it takes a few visits. Either way, I’m fully present and committed to earning their trust gently. Over the years, I’ve had many shy or fearful cats slowly open up, and those moments—when they finally come closer, sniff my hand, or sit nearby—are some of the most rewarding parts of this work.

My Kitten loves Haidy, I can tell by the way he acted when I got home. He was calm and exhausted from playing so much. She left his area neater than I even had it before and followed all instructions. Plus sent details follow ups and lots of videos. Will 100% be hiring her again. Awesome job!

Haidy took care of my two senior cats for a week, and she was incredible from start to finish. She handled feeding, meds, litter, and all their little quirks with so much patience and genuine care. One of my cats is extremely shy and tends to hide in impossible places, but Haidy cracked the code — she stayed patient, gentle, and creative until she found a method that worked. By the end of the trip, my shy girl was greeting her at the door. That alone speaks volumes. Her updates were detailed, thoughtful, and always reassuring. She sent videos, explained everything clearly, and went out of her way to make sure the cats felt safe and comfortable. My other cat adored her too and acted like the perfect little host every visit. I came home to two happy, relaxed cats, and I’m so grateful.. Highly recommend!

Haidy was AMAZING! She absolutely saved us when there were logistical issues with another cat sitter. I am so grateful she could take our booking last minute, I was a bit frazzled with the whole thing but after the meet and greet I knew I had nothing to worry about. She was fantastic with our cats, both of whom are rescues and can be a bit shy with strangers. They both take meds and she was able to get them to both take their meds. By the end of the booking they were meeting her at the door to say hi. Her updates were detailed and the videos were so cute. I’ve been a Meowtel cat sitter for four years myself and would not hesitate to recommend Haidy to anyone, she is fantastic!

This was our first time leaving our cats in the care of someone who wasn’t a personal friend, and we couldn’t be more impressed with Haidy’s care and attentiveness. She sent video and photo updates alongside a thorough write-up of how they did with food and their litter box. She sent videos of them eating and showed how much they ate each meal, which was very reassuring as both our cats can be a little finicky with their food (especially when we aren’t home).

Haidy was such a wonderful caretaker for my sweet little kitty while I was out of town for a long family weekend. Haidy was very thorough with all of the daily items and took time to play with her—my little girl thrives on playtime and human interaction, so it really meant a lot to me (and to her!) to see her looking so happy in the many videos and pictures Haidy shared! Haidy is super communicative, quick to respond and very knowledgeable—just a joy to work with all around! I look forward to having Haidy care for my girl again in the future!

Haidy took absolutely AMAZING care of our two cats while we were away for one week. She showed them so much love and care, and as a result they warmed up to her so quickly! We were able to feel very carefree while traveling thanks to Haidy's reassuring communication, thorough updates, and daily videos. We came home to calm, happy, healthy kitties! Haidy also went above and beyond to keep the home clean and add in some playtime. We can't believe we found such a sweet and caring sitter for our cats! 💕

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!
